I was obsessed with this site while TTC! I got BFP in my 3rd cycle of trying and I did 2 things differently that month that I wanted to share. Also, I am somewhat of a POAS addict. I ordered a bunch of cheapies online so I would feel OK about it. This cycle I told myself that I would wait until 10 dpo. My temp spiked a little on 8 dpo so I decided to try then and it was a BFP! faint but definitely there.
I have been looking at this site the past few months, and have been very interested in what other people's symptoms are and what they might have done differently that month that resulted in a pregnancy. I have tried various things that people recommend, and I appreciate it!
My two week wait did not seem any different than waiting for my period. Same symptoms and everything, so I really did not think that I would get those lovely 2 lines when I POAS. But I did. I am very happy and hope that it sticks!
This was our 2nd month of TTC. I did not notice much CM last month so I tried these tips. 4 EPO pills/day(cycle day 1-O) tons of grapefruit juice(Ovulation Week...wow, this produced amazing results!!!!) Green Tea(Cycle day 1-Oand current) Vitamin B6(100mg/day. Cycle day 1-current). I'm no doctor, but I think all this helped.
I just read the What no one told you section, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
If it really helps, I just wanted to let you know that two of my friends who had PCOS got pregnant after low carbing. The lower the carbs, the better. Atkins, protein power re two very lowarb diets and metabolism miracle is a diet in moderate carbs.
Me and my boyfriend were ttc for awhile and I ended up getting pregnant, but a few weeks later I lost the baby. So we kept trying but nothing happened. We recently had sex, but I was on my period at the time that we did it. But I have been having alot of the symptoms that alot of people have posted. I have headaches, tired all the time, it may be too early but I have been peeing alot more than usual, I got the hard pressure on my pubic bone and lower stomach, my breasts were extremly sore for like 5 days, and they never get sore. My urine has been darker, and my emotions have been crazy.
I just got my BFP! ~ What I did differently this cycle...
No more heated seats in the car for me or for DH!
No more using the electric blanket at night ... turn it off before hopping into bed.
Believe it or not, I switched from my Rx prenatal vitamin to Geritol Complete this cycle from CD-3. (Now I'm back on my Rx).
Cut waaay back on my caffeine everyday.
Increased my daily water intake Propped after BD or simply remained lying down for about 15 mins after. *I might have done a handstand or two, sure! :-)
After trying unsuccessfully for 4 months (on all the right days) I was getting disheartened. I saw your site and scoured if for advice. One of the issues was that I had never noticed and EWCM and I kept thinking maybe this is why it's not working.
Hubbie (25) and I (26) have been ttc for four months and just got our BFP! I have been charting my cycle since we first married 2 1/2 years ago (Roman Catholic). When we didn't conceive the first couple months of trying. I made a bunch of changes to my lifestyle, not sure if they helped but here they are: stopped drinking coffee/tea only decaf tea, stopped eating candy (I'm a big sweet tooth), stopped weightlifting/running. In July when we first started trying I was doing lots of running races up to 1/2 marathons. I was 5'2", 14% body fat and less than 100 lbs.
What I did different this month: No drinking, even before Ovulation, no caffeine, one cup of green tea every day, one cup of grapefruit juice every day before O, Raspberry leaf tea every day before O, B-100 complex vitamin along with prenats, stopped taking all medications including my allegra-d, Musinex every day till O (max dose around O), ate only organic dairy and meat products (to avoid excess estrogen), ate mostly whole foods (non-processed) including lots of fruit and vegetables, took fibercon tablets to have a BM once a day, supposedly excess estrogen can be absorbed from you bowel
