We are TTC and will be on our 2nd cycle. So far we've used Pregnacare Conception vitamins and Clear Blue OPKs. Heard that Preseed gel is good, so would like to try that. Anything else you could recommend to increase the chances of conception?

Many thanks in advance!

In same position so watching this too. Ive bought some b50 complex vitamins and obviously folic acid. I hate all the waiting around for next ovulation and then waiting again wish it wasn't such a long process! Good luck

Hello, didn't want to read and run...

If I'm honest I think sometimes too much stuff can make it really stressful. As you're early in the TTC journey I would possibly go with what you are doing for a while, keeping healthy and taking your vitamins is great. If you don't conceive after a while you could always try temping and charting your cycle. But again that's not for everyone!

Good luck Grin

Kind of echoing the above. Don't go all out to buy a load of stuff yet, just lay off the contraception and have loads of sex! Good luck!

I would agree. We're in 7th cycle now and just bought all that stuff. First couple of cycles I'd just get on with plenty of shagging and try and chill.

I would definitely agree with the part about not getting stressed out but I dont think anyone has actually managd it! Me included
I'm currently 17wks 4days and this is what I did/bought after coming off the pill in September last year.....
Bought some cheapie pregnancy tests/ovulation tests of Amazon, I used OPKs for about a month then gave up. I started taking a conception supplement in September, first Superdrug own then Pregnacare. I did buy pre seed and a BBT thermometer but never used either. I went to Poland for new year with dp where we practically drank vodka non stop for 5 days and voila, I was knocked up!
Cycle 2 really is early days so definitely plenty of shagging (with or without vodka) should get results. Good luck xx
