 Topic: What did you do differently

To all you preggos :) :
What did you do that "worked" the month you concieved?
For example, did you have sex more, chart your temps, use pre-seed, prop your hips on a pillow after sex, eat pineapple, etc?
What did you do that helped make this month the month?

I relaxed - we BDed for the sake of it, because we felt like it, and no other reason. I wasn't due to ovulate for another few days so it was the last thing on my mind!!!
I was also on medication to try to prevent m/c (baby aspirin and 5mg folic acid).

I started taking vitex, we bd every other day from CD8 (even though I dont normally ovulate until CD21 ish) until I ovulation. We were knackered and I thought ov was still a day or two away so we didnt bd the next day.. I was gutted and thought we had missed it. I know i propped up a couple of times, but not everytime.
For us the problem was me not ovulating, once I started ovulating I got knocked up first cycle and then after mc I didnt ovulate but the next cycle I did and we have Jake from that.

I've had 4 pregnancies and for every one we had BD'ed every day that month except when AF was around lol. I never bothered with taking extra stuff (except folic acid) and I never did anything special with my body afterwards, in fact I always have gone to the loo afterwards to prevent UTI's

One different thing we did was BD in the morning's instead of evenings. We tried on and off for two years for number 2 and that was the noticeable thing we did for one month and got pregnant that month 
Good luck

Like Kate said - we relaxed, BD for fun again. The month we got pregnant was the first month we decided to take a break for a while.

We did lots of things, not really sure what the major contributor was so here goes.....
Took elevit for a month before, started drinking GF (2 glasses everyday) as soon as AF departed, BDd everyday from CD7, DH held my legs up and propped with pillow for 30mins post...., switched to pineapple juice as soon as knew had OVd, DH watched a lot of porn - supposed to help with motility??, and was really careful about what drugs I took (was with the flu at the time).

When i got pregnant with my son I had been charting for about 6 months, so knew when I was ovulating.
I was eating healthy, cut back on coffee, and had been taking multi-vitamins for a 3 months.
Then when decided to try for a baby, and I was ovulating that day, so we had sex about 3 times over the next two days, and voila, I was pregnant.
I did lie down and raise my hips after sex.
Very luck to get pregnant so quickly I know.
This time, not so much luck :(

Hi,
We only BD'd 3 times this cycle cause my hubby had a horrible virus, and I've just found out I'm UTD for the first time  It helps that the 3 nights we BD'd were the day before, the day of and the day after O.
This was my 3rd cycle of Clomid and also 3 months of acupuncture. I was only taking folic acid and some naturopathic herbs, but have switched to a pregnancy supplement now.

It was one of the things a friend of mine told me - and I thort why not, it certainly seemed an interesting thort. DH was stoked, its not everyday his wife lets him have free reign on the porn! FYI I was told that the 2 boy 1 girl type is best as it encourages competition between the spermies

Lol, it sounds like the type of porn has a psychological effect on the sperm making process ... but will encourage him to get a mag .. if anything, it will take the tension out of the whole bd situation for him. I have been a bit ott..

As we all do Shezzy - nothing like TCC to make us all a little crazy. I know I was more than a little obsessive compulsive...

That's so funny about porn, I think DP would have a heart attack if I suggested that after years of telling him how much I hate it!
