I didn't put my legs up the wall but I did sorta hug my knees while lying on my back. VERRRRYYYY sexy, not lol. We always had lots of fun too, DH would occasionally try to push/roll me off the bed which gave me the giggles. Sigh, good times.
Make the most of BDing ladies because if you get morning sickness all day like I do then there won't be much going on in the bedroom but sleeping!

I'm sure it was because I applied for a great job so didn't *really* want to get pg that month so I wasn't stressing about it. Although in saying that, we BD'd every 2nd day after AF and a few extras around ov time (our wedding anniversary). I also had PreSeed in the cupboard as a plan of attack next cycle

So yes, my advice is; don't think about it too much (impossable I know!) and BD every 2nd day

after 18 months of TTC we were booked in to see a specialist after Xmas, so we stopped actively TTC and had a particularly boozey night after Auckland thrashed Otago at the 2005 NPC final (DH will never forget that!).... taa daa along came Miss Caitlin

Not sure what worked here
1. Not stressing over TTC
2. The booze
3. Auckland winning

Hope for all your sakes it wasn't #3 or else you're all in for a long wait LOL

Where do you get Vitamin E capsules from Kasbee?
Worth a try!

I bought some Robitussin last night so will try that one this month.
Im going to try something new each cycle and see how we go, Im interested as well wanting to get pregnant obviously, to see what methods work.

I also had a big talk with DH last night and feel a milion times better about TTC now so Im more relaxed about it so that may help!
Thanks ladies

We concieved on the cycle where we only BD twice around O time and I was sick with the flu!!! I think it was more about BD'ing rather then TTC that month as I thought that I missed O (DH had been away) and hadn't been ovulating properly in the 3 mths before. It was also the only cycle that we used Pre-Seed.

Yeah I've heard about Robitussin! Seems to have worked for some people :)

I have another idea for TTC. Murphy's Law. You see, I've applied for a great job, so if I get that then chances are I'm already pg. I have also planned a trip to Perth which involves lots of time on a plane, I already get a bit of motion sickness as it is so if I don't get the job I will get pg just in time to have mega ms for the trip

When I did the Robitussin thing I got the one that has Guiphenisen (sp) as the active ingredient as that is what thins the mucous... also took the recommended dose on the bottle three times a day (as that's what I was told to do when the whole theory was explained to me).

Also with the pillow tilt... I have heard that if you have a uterus that's tilted the opposite way to what is considered norm (sorry, can't remember the technical term) then it can sometimes be better to flip and lie on your belly... I don't think I have an oddly tipped uterus but I definitely do notice less 'leakage' (

sorry TMI) when I do this.]]> Tue, 05 Feb 2008 10:54:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14191&PID=294544&title=increasing-your-chances-when-ttc-ideas#294544 <![CDATA[Increasing your chances when TTC - Ideas! : I took the Robitussin at night...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14191&PID=294537&title=increasing-your-chances-when-ttc-ideas#294537 Author: Bayley

Chickoin, we used Pre-seed last cylce and it didn't work.
I bought it without actually realising what it was for.... I must say, I felt a little uncomfortable 'applying' it but decided we would give it a go.

Didn't make a heck of a lot of difference but we will use the rest of the sachets up for the hell of it!

I am def going to look into teh Robitussin thing!

These tips are great ladies, keep them coming!

Fifi101 - Robitussin is a cough syrup - you need to get the one for chesty coughs I think it is, can't quite remember now. I pretty sure it has a yellow label though.

I used it when I was trying to get pregnant and it happened the first night - don't know how much of that is related to the Robitussin, but I'll be using it again next time!

The other thing I did was chart my cycles for about 6 months before we were TTC, just so I could get an idea of timing etc. And I bought a copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility software - that was brilliant as it can predict when you are likely to O etc and when the best time to BD is. Definitely worth the money!!

Evening Primrose Oil does a similar thing to Robitussen.

I thought the pre-seed was only better for conception than normal lube, not better than without it at all?]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 22:01:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14191&PID=294336&title=increasing-your-chances-when-ttc-ideas#294336 <![CDATA[Increasing your chances when TTC - Ideas! : I haven't tried it, but looked...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14191&PID=294228&title=increasing-your-chances-when-ttc-ideas#294228 Author: Konagirl

Yep fifi you can get red bush tea from pak'n'save. Its brand is Red Seal. Its in a orange-yellow box in the isle with all the other herbel teas. Its really nice with a little bit of milk and half a teaspoon of honey. Yummy.

I am with you about the UTI thing. I used to get them all the time before I got pregnant with my 2 year old and used to freak out about not going loo (tmi I know) straight after BDing for the fear of getting one of those nasty things. Funnily (sp) enough I haven't had one since I got pregnant last time. They say that when you have a baby it usually clears up problems like that so hopefully it will work for you once you get your BFP!!!

Has anyone else tried this "Pre-seed" thing? Where do you get it from.

Wow all green tea has caffeine in, I really never heard that before.

Can you buy red bush tea from normal shops.

I've not been trying many tricks, I am trying to stay lying down for at least 20 mins after BD, this makes me nervous everytime as it has caused uti's before and in fact did last month

Robutussin - what is that?

Great thread idea Parki!

Has anyone tried 'Pre-seed'? It's like a lube you 'insert' before BD.

My friend got 3 sachets and used one. She got preg in her very first month so has given the other two to me, yay! I don't know if it was the Pre-seed that helped her or if she's just really fertile

I will try it out next cycle if no BFP this time.

This cycle we have been BDing every 2 days. Although we did a bit more over the weekend

Thats very interesting to know Honeybun. I was getting the Twinings one and rang them up to see if there was caffeine in green tea(cause I couldn't find any mention of it on the box) and they said that ALL green tea has caffeine in it. Thanks for letting me know. I don't actually like the taste much anyway so the lady suggested that I buy Red Bush tea. Tastes just like normal tea and so am having that in the morning with my brekky]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 17:15:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14191&PID=294106&title=increasing-your-chances-when-ttc-ideas#294106 <![CDATA[Increasing your chances when TTC - Ideas! : I have heard of the robotussin...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14191&PID=294098&title=increasing-your-chances-when-ttc-ideas#294098 Author: Nefertiti

I have heard of the robotussin thing before also.

I have also talked to someone who swears by drinking a litre of pineapple juice a day!

The asprin thing, alot of ppl call it baby asprin..not too sure how it works, but as asprin thins the blood maybe it thins out mucous also.

One other thing i found interesting while on another ttc site was this. There was a couple who had been trying to conceive for a couple years with no luck. She read online somewhere that using a laptop alot can reduce the activity level of sperm. At this point they were willing to try anything and as her husband was an avid laptop user, working from home....for a month he didnt use the laptop on his lap and hey presto...they conceived! She went on to say she doesnt know if thats what did it in the end, but she certainly wanted to let other ppl know!

We have only been ttc since nov, with mc in dec...so have only just been seeing what happens...may try something later if we need to.]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 17:04:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14191&PID=294098&title=increasing-your-chances-when-ttc-ideas#294098 <![CDATA[Increasing your chances when TTC - Ideas! : Have plenty of "O's"...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14191&PID=294096&title=increasing-your-chances-when-ttc-ideas#294096 Author: Millie1976

Green tea is good for you and has lots of antioxidants etc and I have at least one cup a day but I only buy healtheries green tea which is caffeine free so go and buy this one kobec.

Parki Robitussin is meant to help thin out cervical mucus making what cm you do have more thin and stretchy. There is a website www.fertilityplus.org that explains about what sort of Robitussin to look for what days to take etc.

Acupuncture is very good for helping to balance the body for conception, helped me along with clomid to conceive my daughter.]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 15:51:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14191&PID=294042&title=increasing-your-chances-when-ttc-ideas#294042 <![CDATA[Increasing your chances when TTC - Ideas! : Yeah, a friend of mine told me...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14191&PID=294036&title=increasing-your-chances-when-ttc-ideas#294036 Author: Parki

I read the other day on a blog (cant remember which one now i'm afraid) that women who consume full fat icecream once a day have a higher chance of falling pregnant.

The only excuse i need!!

Also that one cup of green tea can increase conception chances.

Hey everyone,

I thought I would start this thread for all of us TTC and for those who have and have any ideas to share!

I have heard a lot of interesting comments about things that can be done to increase your chances of becoming pregnant.
Legs up the wall, Robitussin etc..... SO what does everyone do!

Maybe we can get a few more BFP's or at least have a good laugh while trying out some new things!
