AIBU to ask what finally helped you get pregnant?

[pampampamela]

Shamelessly posting in aibu, I know I'm not being unreasonable to ask but PLEASE tell me what finally helped you get pregnant?

I hate hate hate this answer but, having been trying for over two years, went on holiday with the thought that maybe we ought to stop trying and embrace being a family of 3.

came back pregnant.

sorry. The “relax and stop thinking about it” brigade are/were so annoying. We had also made tentative plans for a big holiday the next year. Never happened

had previously spent over a year trying for DC1.

and we skip over the accidental conception of DC3 later

I hope you get where you need to be xxx

Lost 10kg and had sex everyday from the end of my period to day 17 of cycle

i actually was really ill, something with my stomach being investigated I ended up on a high fibre low fat diet lost 2:5 stone. I wasn’t big maybe a 12-14 about 12.5 stone anyway as I cut out alcohol completely during this time and caffeine. Stopped trying, I was in pain a lot and exhausted. So then one weekend randomly I felt better, we DTD right after my period no testing ovulation etc just very random and then BOOM. I’d had two losses 2 years prior to this and it was 2 years later it happened, she is now 18 months and snoring next me.
The bonus was whatever was wrong with me went away, I believe she fixed me 💯
so who knows, was it the diet or no alcohol or was it that I just stopped thinking about it 🤷🏼‍♀️ (people say likely the latter)
sending love to you 💐

Reflexology.

A period of stress being over. And a bottle of Chardonnay.

I know it sounds mad but I swear it was these! A friend told me to try them cus there’s been studies done on how one of the ingredients (thing it’s the one beginning with g) can help you conceive and at that point I was desperate! Had been trying for 3 years and nothing, took these and got pregnant xx

Regular sex (every two days)

Loosing weight- healthy diet, regular exercise

Knowing IVF was coming (I also hate the relax brigade and everyone who's commented on this since)

Four years of trying, lots of tears, but my husband never gave up hope.

Due in three weeks 💕

Ps: Also giving up up caffeine and alcohol (apart from occasional treats)

IVF. Both times. Nothing else ever, ever worked. Reason was never found.

Both times it was on or just after a holiday. And that was after many rounds of IVF. So another one for the annoying ‘relax and it happens’ group!

After 10 years of trying we gave up, went on holiday and took lots of drugs (no I’m not an addict and haven’t had them since) and I fell pregnant that week. So I recommend copious amounts of gin and mdma

Actually tracking my cycle rather than just waiting for it to happen. Did the deed twice that week and it worked.

Relaxing about TTC! We were trying non stop for a year, read all the tips, changed diet, tracked cycles etc..
I eventually gave up obsessing about it, we had a few boozy date nights and fell pregnant!

Low dose progesterone for luteal issues, a consistent coq10 intake, male fertility supplements and a "fertility lubricant" were all part of our regime along with ovulation tests and bbt tracking

I turned 40

3 years of regular sex with no contraception. Wrote it off as a bad job. Booked a big post birthday holiday to Asia, spent it eating plain Pringles and plain pasta.

SMEP worked for us. I basically got pregnant every time we followed SMEP, but they didn’t all stick.

Husband stopped drinking, reduced cycling, and started having cooler baths / showers. Could have been a coincidence, but he made the changes after a year of trying and we conceived quickly after that.

Guaifenesin! It’s in some cough expectorants … meant to help your CM!
I found agnus castus was good, and losing a bit of weight if a bit over, or putting on a bit of underweight. Oestrogen resides in fat so it can help adjust the balance.
both times I conceived my children I also was distracted, first one with Christmas, second one with a new job … I also hate that ‘relax’ squad but it’s certainly good to have your mind on something else
good luck!

IVF! No amount of holidays or relaxing helped us sadly. I hope it happens for you x

Stopped using the flo app.

I was 10 days after my 'fertile' period, zero chance of pregnancy apparently. We had a normal go and voila 🤣

I was ttc at 42..
Gave up coffee.
Gave up fizzy drinks.
Ate lots of greens
No meat.
Took folic acid.
Used Conceive Plus.
Got a positive pregnancy test on month 3..
We also moved house (stress!).
And had a quickie in the new house!! And a shower straight after.. No lying with legs up!! Was very shocked I was pregnant!

Husband, after years of trying, gave up caffeine for reasons unrelated to any fertility issues, and I became pregnant within 4 weeks. He told a friend at work in the same situation, His wife is also pregnant, within weeks after stopping all caffeine.

After the event, lying down sticking legs in air and 'cycling' yes I know that sounds ridiculous but I read about it and it really did work!!!

I went to see Michael buble in concert….thats what I put it down to anyway….🤣🤣🤣

Been for a session this month! Glad to hear it actually worked for someone!
