Improving conception chances

[Littlemisssunshine86]

What do people do/use to improve their conception chances? My cycles have gradually become longer which isn't helping but I want to maximise our chances before we start considering seeing the doctor.

What are you already doing? Temperature taking/tracking, conception vitamins for both partners, PreSeed lubricant?

On conception vitamins for both of us and temperature tracking.

Get some PreSeed and try that

I used clear blue ovulation sticks which worked really well. I had 3 months to detox my body from the pill and let it cycle regulate and got pregnant on month 4 using these.

@IsTheRainEverComingBack Totally naive but what is preseed please?

@blackcat86 when after AF should you use ovulation sticks? My cycles seem to be getting longer getting up to 42 days. Would you say it was easy to understand?

It’s a lubricant that helps sperm get to where it needs to go

Thanx will have a look

They're really easy to use and it's best to get into the habit of doing it with the first wee of the day. There is a guide with the kit of when to start depending on the length of your cycle but I usually started the day after and just bought more sticks when i needed them. I didn't want to miss an opportunity! Once you've weed on the stick you pop it into the analyser thing and it thinks for a few mins. If you've got a low chance you get an 0, a high chance a smile and peak a flashing smile. Peak is go time! But it's useful to have the high chance days as a warning. I went from 0 to flashing smile but hey it worked. After the flashing smile it stays on for 48hrs to indicate a fertile time.

Also don't worry about your cycle. My gp made a bit thing about how I have a 32 day and 36 day cycle. The 36 is apparently very abnormal but hey that's the cycle I got pregnant on so my total non medically trained view is that it just gave more time for the right hormones to arrive.

Great thanx for that
