WHat did you do for your BFP?

We all speculate on what can help get us our BFP. Since we have had so many positives lets make a thread that shares what we did. Hopefully this can help others as I know how stressful the process can be first hand.

I TTC for two months
1st mth Chemical Pregnancy-used OPK, BD the day of the surge and subsequent days after.

2nd month-BFP
Used OPK, but instead of waiting for a surge I BD the 3 days before I anticipated to O based upon previous month Ovulation date and I BD the days after I got the surge. In my case the day I got the surge I O'd the same day and wham we got pregnant.
I also lay in bed after BD and elevated my legs-OK alright I did a handstand one night as a joke-but it worked

Re: WHat did you do for your BFP?

To be honest I really realy think robitussin helped! Not intentionally but I happened to be sick right around that time and DH was overdosing me with it, (i'm not one for taking medicine) for no other reason then to get me better, little did he know it was a trick of the trade.. well we were trying for 7 months after our MC and that was the month we got our BFP!! Don't know if it's true but you never know!!!! To be honest i didn't even think of it till after the fact!

GOOD LUCK LADIES!!!!

Re: WHat did you do for your BFP?

Well, for us since my Period is right on the money every month it was easier to track when ovulation would happen. So we BD a few days before OD & on OD. I also made sure to stay on my back for a while to make sure those babies stayed up there...sorry if TMI But it worked! Good Luck ladies!!!

Re: WHat did you do for your BFP?

I used the CBEFM and LOVED IT! it really took the guessing and stress out of it. I BD'd every other day during my "high fertility" days and the day before I O'd. Didn't get a chance to BD the day I O'd or the day after because of work schedules. Doggie every time! and I stayed in bed for about an hour after each time.

Re: WHat did you do for your BFP?

we bd'd EVERYDAY from day 10 in my cycle til day 27 It worked, we have 3 children. It is tiresome, but worth it!!
I also drank tea every morning, it is suppose to be good for fertility.
And...my aunt told me to put a pillow under my hips after the "deposit" to create an incline to help the spermies swim, i also did NOT get up until the morning, I wanted to give those spermies the best possible chance of making to the "summit". hope this helps, i got preggo the 1st ad 2nd try with each pregnancy, I also charted my temp 3-4 months befire we starting ttc so I knew my clycle like a pro.

Re: WHat did you do for your BFP?

We got the BFP on our 3rd month trying...Honestly the only thing I did differently was relax more. I took a few days off from work because i needed some "me" time and i got to de-stress-fortunately during my O time!!
And thats it!

Re: WHat did you do for your BFP?

I charted my temps (usually very predictable) and used OPKs. We also used PreSeed when we conceived, we had used it for two months actually...Good luck all!!!

Re: WHat did you do for your BFP?

We had been trying since May 05.

We used pre-seed and had for 2 months.

BD every other day from CD13 to CD23 (dr's orders) (I O around CD18)

laid w/ hips elevated for at least 20 min after.

I was using CBEFM but could have stopped because it was the same every month anyway.

And lastly a friend got me a Lady of Guadalupe candle to light every night. That's the only "new" trick we tried new this month. Maybe that was it!

Re: WHat did you do for your BFP?

Well I am hoping this baby sticks...This is what I did...
charted, used answer opks (for the first time) and bd'd every day for about 2 solid weeks! I know..CRAZY!
ETA: It was our 2nd cycle trying.

Re: WHat did you do for your BFP?

this was my 2nd month using an OPK. i think we missed it last month because i forgot to test the nite before my OPK+ and i have a feeling i o'd CD12 - same as i did this month. Also we only BD 1x due to work/holidays and i think it was too late.

this month we BD 2 nites before my OPK+. (I got my OPK+ on CD11) we BD that night and the next 2 nites - so 3 nites in a row total. i did try not to go pee right after bd'ing 1x. oh and i took 1 Mucinex pill the day after my opk+ and drank alot of water.

Re: WHat did you do for your BFP?

Although it didn't stick, I got a BFP the first month! Used OPKs and BDed when it was +........
Also laid with my legs in the air for 20min after, DH said I was being stupid, but it worked!!!!

Gonna try my method again in a month!

I also took preconceive vitamins....

Re: WHat did you do for your BFP?

OPK and after BDing I did not pee for at least an hour.

Re: WHat did you do for your BFP?

we got pregnant the first month we really tried. i charted my temps and used opks. we also used preseed and we had sex as often as possible during my peak time. also did the "legs in the air" trick.

Re: WHat did you do for your BFP?

Nothing, just did not think about it.
