What will you be doing?

Differently this month if you didn't get a BFP? I know there are quite a few of us that are moving on to October, what, if anything, will you be doing differently to TTC?

For me:

1. I am going to TRY to just relax and be more positive about the whole process. It didn't happen when I wanted it to but it will happen.

2. I am going to vow NOT to test till I am at least 13 DPO even though I know it may be considered early it's better than starting at 9 DPO (not sure I can keep this promise but I am going to try to make it to myself).

3. I think I am going to incorporate mucinex this time around...i did with DD I forgot about it this time around. May as well try.

Re: What will you be doing?

well we followed deannas plan - but added extra days and didnt finish the last 2 days of the plan (the 3rd day after the opk and the skip a day than day) due to family issues

so october - i am following the plan to the T - no extra days thrown in - because towards the end we were sick of each other.

my ewcm seems to be great so i wont do anything to encourage more of that

this month i was great with the testing - only poas on cd10 which was only because of coney island if not i would have never tested until af was late

Re: What will you be doing?

mia - when do you take the mucinex?

Re: What will you be doing?

I cant really say i technically tried last month since i know for a fact we only once during my fertile time...

this month since i really want to have the baby before the summer starts, we are going to do every other day pre and every day during the fertile days...

Obviously since after doesnt really matter for conception, we will go one with our normal routine...

IVF

Re: What will you be doing?

i am going to try deannas plan once again but this time i am going to bd everyday during smiley time. hopefully this will be thae last month of agony

Re: What will you be doing?

TRY and relax and do things the old fashion way. When should one take musinex? I'm assuming it is to loosen up our lovely mucus.

Re: What will you be doing?

I know such a gross thought this mucinex but it's worth a shot. I am going to take it a few days before I am due to O (i'm pretty regualr) and the day of my smiley

Re: What will you be doing?

i definitely don't think we are enough. we only did 2x last month.

i'm going to pay more attention to CD1 b/c i think i've been tracking it incorrectly.

Use OPKs for the 3rd month - hoping it's consistent with the other two.

That's exactly what Mucinex and Robitussin are meant to do.

Re: What will you be doing?

Well after my $hitty year of disappointment and misery I pretty much have the mindset at this point that no matter what I do it's not going to turn out well so I've made up my mind to not even think about it anymore. Everything will be what it will be and it's out of my control. I show up to my RE appts, do what they tell me, and who knows........maybe one day it will all work out.

what about bronkaid? is that the same thing?

Re: What will you be doing?

yup i yhink thats the active ingredient

Re: What will you be doing?

well, in my case i am hoping to get AF so that i can figure out my cycle.
i had a d&c and they said to expect AF in 6-8 weeks. 3 weeks down, 3/5 more to go..
with the last pregnancy, we just threw caution to the wind.. i thought i was supposed to "o" the following week but it turned out that we did the deed during a slightly fertile period.
i hope to do the same this time around.
just do it a few days before "o" and hope it sticks.
if it doesnt work out, then i think i will be more anal about it the next cycle.

Re: What will you be doing?

I bought pre-seed so thats what we have been doing differently this cycle.

Re: What will you be doing?

if its a BFN , we are actually going to take a break for awhile.

Re: What will you be doing?

last month was our first month so we just winged it and BD when i thought i was ovulating.

this month:

1. I bought OPKs so hopefully will have a better idea of when i am ovulating

2. Will not test until AF is late...i don't wanna deal with a bunch of BFNs

3. I am going to TRY not to overanalyze everything that goes on with my body...i was sure i had every symptom of pregnancy my first month ttc....I know its easier said than done but this month i really wanna try to relax

Re: What will you be doing?

I think I'm going to go back to temping... I stopped for a few cycles because RE was working on DH spermies. His numbers are much better now so I want to do more on my end.
And I'll take the Mucinex again too

Re: What will you be doing?

we have been winging it since july. now i am bringing in the big guns. kinda.

1. taking vitex
2. drinking female toner tea (got it at whole foods)
3. going to relax and not obsessively use opks
4. BD every other day starting yesterday (CD10). my cycles have bee erratic (39 days and 49 days).

Re: What will you be doing?

Hi. I am new to this sight...what is Deannas plan?

Re: What will you be doing?

I am going all out this month. I am temping, using OPK's (the digital ones this time, not the lines that are impossible to read!), using Mucinex and a lot more! Hopefully that will do it!

Re: What will you be doing?

Whats with this whole Mucinex thing. I am curious to know!
