Good thread Oxy!
My Plan
- Time it right, BD every other day after surgery, and for a week after I have Oed (FF moved my lines last time!)
- Put a pillow under my bum after BD
- Lots of water
- No (or very little) caffeine
- Pineapple juice after O
- Drink green tea
And I will prob add to it as I get closer!

I am taking B group vitamins and am taking evening primrose first half of cycle. DH is taking multivitamins also.
Trying to eat healthily and exercise more(since last sunday) no naughty takeaways or processed food with transfats for us.
Wouldn't hurt me to lose a couple of kg! and of course plenty BD

Nothing much, bding when I can get it. DH is back at work so down to weekends again.
Been taking vitex, and yup even considered putting a pillow under my hips
but meh can't be bothered getting to caught up in it all, finally come to the conclusion you can't always plan for these things, and its much less stress to go with the flo
shezzey if all that doesn't get your a bfp i'd be wanting my money back

A great thread Oxy!
This last cycle I did:
-
Charting temps
-
OPKs
-
Elevit, x1 a day
-
Evening Primrose Oil, up to Ov, x3 1000mg a day
-
Baby Aspirin, x1 a day
-
Grapefruit, up to ov, a glass or 2 a day depending how tough i feel, up to ov
-
Pineapple juice, after ov, just when i feel like a glass (have read pos and neg for this idea so don't have it every day)
-
Green Tea around Ov
-
Pillow under bum
-
BDing every 2 days from CD 15 then going like rabbits when a OPK + comes up
-
Crossing all fingers and toes that this is our time!
If I'm still in the TTC game next time I would hmmm... go along the same track i guess. Maybe try Vitex cos this is a really long cycle if no jellybean's in there!

this time....
- vitex until Ov (previously have been taking for whole cycle)
- Grapefruit juice until ov
- fish oil - all cycle
- magnesium, zinc, B6 - all cycle
- Folic acid - all cycle
- Bding as much as we can (which hasn't lasted as calving has started and DP is injured)
- charting temps (when I remember or haven't been woken up by DD too many times)
- observing CM and BDing when appears fertile
- thinking positive thoughts... or trying to
Next time ....
- Relax and forget about it for a month... yeah right

- zinc for DH
- continue on folic acid
- bum on pillow after Bding
- OPK's to test for ovulation rather than just relying on ov calendars
- more sex

I'm checking my CM daily, other than that just trying to have sex as close to ovulation as we can - but that might not be good enough, because he has to go back to work on Sunday morning & I am ovulating Sunday or Monday.. hopefully Monday!
