I chart my temps and my CM. I also use an ovulation microscope.
The biggest issue is having well-timed BD'ing, so want to not tire DH out too much.
I take prenatal vitamins and one called "omega plus" which has EPO, flaxseed oil and omega 3.
Haven't gone as far as ovulation predictor kits yet, as I think I have that sussed with the other methods.]]> Thu, 06 Apr 2006 09:28:27 +0000 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=37895#37895 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36994#36994 Author: Simonne

Hey Robyn ... Thanks for your two cents! I think next month I'll try the every second day thing. A few people have suggested it, and I read in a book over the w/end that it was the best way to go ...I'm assuming of course that nothing interesting happens this month! I'm not holding my breath as pre-AF cramps have started niggling, so all I'm likely to get if I do hold my breath, is blue in the face! ]]> Mon, 03 Apr 2006 08:16:45 +0000 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36994#36994 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36947#36947 Author: robyn

Hey everyone, just thought I would jump in here and add my two cents. I used to get ovulation cramps too so knew when it was bonking time and was also told that every second day is best to give the guy time to refill for want of a better description. ]]> Sun, 02 Apr 2006 21:06:12 +0000 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36947#36947 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36892#36892 Author: Jennz

It would be even worse for you if i told you he was a "tighty whitey" guy hehe :) ew!

I really hope we do this month too- I don't want to have to wait until September to start trying again! I get to test in 9 1/2 more days :) Not that I'm desperately counting or anything.]]> Sun, 02 Apr 2006 13:55:55 +0000 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36892#36892 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36887#36887 Author: nikkitheknitter

Jennz ...bugger tasteful! We talk about things like CM here ...we have no taste "Shag like crazy" works for me

I'm fascinated by this ovulation cramps business ...they have pretty much passed and I'm coming to the end of my ovulatory phase, so maybe that's what they were.

You know ...it was much less complicated when I was a kid and thought that you just pulled a cabbage out of the garden and there was a baby. Except for when I got yelled at for yanking the cabbages up out of the garden of course (I wanted a baby sister, and got stuck with 3 brothers, so decided to be pro-active about it )]]> Fri, 31 Mar 2006 09:18:37 +0000 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36507#36507 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36439#36439 Author: Leish

I get ovulation cramps- they suck too. Mine last usually a whole afternoon and evening. Its hard to get in the "mood" when you feel like curling up with a hot water bottle. One good thing is that I know for sure when I've ovulated.

Haha Ana- I didn't feel right saying "shag like crazy"- BD just seems a bit more tasteful.

My hubby wears boxers- does that count as no undies? They don't seem to create much resistance down there anyway- I won't go into too much detail in case any of you are eating while reading this!

We thought about the whole every other day thing but I get sooo freaked out about getting the time wrong and missing the optimum time that we end up going over board. ]]> Thu, 30 Mar 2006 19:46:20 +0000 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36425#36425 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36368#36368 Author: Simonne

I hope you're feeling better today Sarah, by the way.

I'm in a mild grump because I've started having cramps, so I must be in the downward slide to another visit from AF, bugger it. Why they (cramps) have to start now I don't know though ...means I'm going to have them for the next 2 weeks and THEN blimmin AF.

Hi Jen,

My husband and I are on cycle 10, TTC No. 1. I started tempting for cycle 9 and am just charting my temps - I'm not really having much luck charting CM.   I'm also taking a highish dose of Vit B6 as I've heard this helps, and my doctor said that it's good for settling your cycle down and with PMT. I may try OPKs in another couple of months, and I will give Millie's suggestion a go next month, for a couple of months and see how we go! (Assuming that nothing happens in the meantime of course).

Good luck!

P.S. I'll let you know if thinking about men not wearing their underwear works as well as not wearing any, in about 12 days ... ]]> Thu, 30 Mar 2006 10:22:23 +0000 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36262#36262 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36249#36249 Author: Guests

We had been trying to get pregnant since October last year and I went to my GP for some advice around December and she told me that she had done a bit of research on pregnancy and suggested that we start trying from day 8 of my cycle through to day 21 and to try every second day. We tried this in January this year and I found out I was pregnant - I truly believe this is what helped us in getting pregnant. Good luck to all who are trying.]]> Thu, 30 Mar 2006 09:37:54 +0000 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36244#36244 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36241#36241 Author: Bizzy

some people swear by no underwear for men...

but seriously this can have a diff - men need to take care too and if it is too hot down there for them it doesnt help....

orgasm can help too - help the sperm travel.

but being aware of yor body is the best help, and trying to relax, make sure you have sex at other times too otherwise it takes all the fun out, and men dont like that.

good luck. ]]> Thu, 30 Mar 2006 09:33:02 +0000 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36241#36241 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36222#36222 Author: newmum

Just wondering what everyone else is using to help concieve- temping, charting, Ovulation kits, fertility drugs etc?

We have been TTC our second since December last year and was just wondering if there is anything else we could be doing! I went through the course through Natural fertility and learnt how to chart correctly so I know exactly when I ovulate. My last 2 cycles we have BD like crazy for the 3 days leading up but still no go and Im getting a little impatient! Our daughter was a surprise so we just presumed we would be able to concieve really easy, so this has been a rather abrupt reality check for us.

We are temping and charting and this month we used and ovulation predictor kit thing too.]]> Wed, 29 Mar 2006 21:40:14 +0000 forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=36203#36203
