Title sort of sums it up.
I had never used OPKs before but started this month. Notced the change in mucous today, so checked and i have 2 lines...

So DP and i have had sex very rarely since DS was born - twice a month. Not helped by DS always ending up in our bed sometime in the night. That is now resolved just this week with sticker chart and bribery promise of a small present at the end of the week if he stays in his bed

Anyway, looking back no real problems conceiving DS, took 6 months but i was 39 (sounds so young compared to 44.)

Anyway, just found out my sister (41) is pg with no2, so that spurred me on to pull my finger out
Any practical tips such as supplements etc, and even the more "out there tips" such as visualisation gratefully received!

Hear about younger mums in toddler groups talking about ovulating, DTD and then BFP 2 weeks later....Just being hopeful now that I am being a bit more methodical.

Anyway, rambling over. Better get off and get DS off to bed and seduce DP!!

My tips take folic acus and evening primrose oil. I also took cod liver oil up to ovulation but that is controversial due to vit a. I also ate a lot of spice that month. You could try soy isoflavones.
