Please share what YOU do or did!
TTC purposes!
I need a new plan so I am doing some research at CD3.
- I take Prenatals daily
- I take my temp every morning at 5:45 and document it in FF
- I use a non-digital OPK from CD 11 until I get a + (usually CD 13)
- DH and I BD from the positive OPK and 2 days after for TTC purposes.
That's what I got!
I am most interested in learning about:
- Primrose
- Fish Oil
- B-6 Vitamin
- Green Tea
- Robitussin/Mucinex intake
and anything else you ladies got!

Re: Please share what YOU do or did!
This is my 3rd cycle off BCP but the first one in which we are really trying.
Here is what I do-
* take prenatals every day
* temping everyday and charting using TCOYF software
* reading TCOFY
* using CBEFM
* I drink at least one glass of iced green tea daily (I have been doing this because it is more healthy than sweetened iced tea and I am trying to lose weight)
* Really watching what I eat and trying to lose weight
* exercising regularly

Re: Please share what YOU do or did!
The only thing I really did aside from lots of BDing was taking Mucinex starting at CD10 until I was absolutely sure I o'd. I didn't notice much of a difference with visual CM, but DH sure noticed. Not sure if that was the kicker but it doesn't hurt to try. Make sure it says "expectorant" on the bottle.
ETA: I took 1-2 pills a day - 600mg each

Re: Please share what YOU do or did!
I have been taking prenatals, fish oil, b complex, vitamin c daily, drinking green tea, and exercising. I have also been trying to wait longer before getting up after BDing, but it is very hard. I am paranoid about UTI's !

Re: Please share what YOU do or did!
B6 is to help lengthen your luteal phase (I don't think that is a problem for you though).
Primrose is to help increase CM
Mucinex/Robitussin is to help LOOSEN CM.

Re: Please share what YOU do or did!
Haven't offically started TTC, but I started.
-Taking Pre-natals ( I went to the doctor and they gave me a bag of sample ones to try) I take them everyday even though I don't like taking pills. I actually started taking the biggest ones I have because they have Omega 3, DHa and a stool sofner.
-Started taking Vitex which is a herbal supplement that helps with regulating women's cycles. (I have long AF cycles, but I don't have PCOS. I got this recommendation from someone on here that it worked for.) THis is the first full month that I have taking it and I swear I ovulated on day 13. If I get AF on day 28, I will be amazed!!!
-I bought the clear blue easy digital. It was expensive, but I thought I try it. I'm going to start using next month.
-I eat healthy, rarely drink and I don't smoke.

Re: Please share what YOU do or did!
We haven't started to TTC yet but my obgyn told me to BD every other day CD10-CD 20 (I have 30-31 day cycles). She said if we follow this schedule, we should get pregnant within 3-6 months.
When we start trying, I plan to follow her advice.

Re: Please share what YOU do or did!
honestly...
i did tried a lot on tha list. But ultimately i got PG the month we decided to take a break!
The stress and the anxiety every month took a toll on my body i think. And the min i didn't think about it, was the month i got my BFP!

B6 is to help lengthen your luteal phase (I don't think that is a problem for you though).
Primrose is to help increase CM
Mucinex/Robitussin is to help LOOSEN CM.
I was going to say this too. Cough medicine doesn't help your body make more CM, it loosens up what you already have.
Over the past few months I've tried various combinations of what everyone here is doing, including taking B6 first at 50mg, but i didn't think it was doing anything, so I upped it to 100mg. Still didnt' feel it was doing anything, so stopped taking it last month which is when my LP dropped a day, so decided maybe it WAS doing something.
What I'm doing this month:
Cutting out all caffeine (from coffee/tea, that is, not necessarily from chocolate!  )
Exercising daily
Taking B complex
Taking Prenatal
Taking Evening Primrose/Starflower oil combination vitamin
A glass of grapefruit juice each morning
Generally trying to eat healthier
I also temp

Re: Please share what YOU do or did!
With DS I did the prenatals, The Temping, and would stress out. I would always think I wasn't, but, as I look back, I was definitley stressed every month.
This time I plan on taking the prenatals, drinking green tea daily and relaxing.
Im going to try not to stress and let it happen when it happens.
