Hi

Like mum_2besoon says folic acid, ov sticks, charting, babydancing. A lot of ladies put their legs in the air for a bit after bding, and a lot of ladies have been saying that they try pre-seed and then they have got their BFPs that cycle.

Good Luck ttc

Hi

Maybe TMI but another tip is to make sure you come after him (supposed to help your body kind of suck the sperm in)

 

[MrsBrightside]

Thanks all for the advice so far.... xx

Good luck - I wasnt give much advice apart from take folic and eats lots of greens!

People are great in here and help with advice and cheer you up when your feeling down or listen when you need a rant!

My only advice is what has already been said (especially about folic acid, and I used OPK's).

Only other piece of advice that worked for me is to relax, and not stress too much, it worked for me 2nd month of trying!

Good luck TTC

I definitely second the vote for Pre Seed, very good stuff. Eat well, sleep enough, drink lots of water... basically be as healthy as you can be (no mad diets, no excessive exercise etc). I take EPO from CD1 to O and Flaxseed Oil capsules from O to CD1 again (don't take EPO after O as it can cause uterine contractions which is what you don't want when a bean is burrowing!). I also take folic acid tablets and a Mum to be multivitamin. Timed BDing is supposed to be great but it can be stressful - try and take out as much stress from your life (easier said than done of course in this day and age). Above all, I would suggest not to expect this to happen immediately, it does for some but not others and putting unfair expectations on yourself at the moment can cause additional stress. Ultimately, this is about you and your partner making a baby from love, I've found it important to keep that thought forefront in my mind.

Best of luck!!!!

Thanks honey..... your so right the thing in the front of my mind has been about making a baby cause we love each other and for no other reason, we haven't been having sex "just" to make a baby either, we are having sex as normal and im trying not to stress out which is hard as I am a prone stress head lol....

 

[~Honey~]

Well I learnt that lesson the hard way (lots of tears and frustration til we decided not to do timed BDing anymore and live with the consequences) so best to pass on the message!
