What helped you to conceive

[America5]

Hey

Me and my fiancé have been TTC for a few months now but I wanted some suggestions on what worked for you to conceive.

TIA x

Hi. Clear blue fertility sticks so we could identify peak days!

Soy isoflavones...only if menstrual cycle is longer than average cycle. Worked for me twice.

First month I tracked using opks and temping I conceived, I also took a prenatal vitamin.

Eurovision and giving up trying lol.

In all seriousness though, knowing my cycles and having lots of sex

Knowing what can cause infertility ie diclofenac and presumably this wont be the only medication. Drug manufacturers well aware but it used to be still prescribed without a warning. Hopefully that has changed but worth checking if you take anything.

For me, discovering I had undiagnosed coeliac disease and coming off gluten! But also tracking ovulation and knowing my cycle inside out and having a LOT of sex leading up and during ovulation.

Both being healthy to start with, knowing my body (when I ovulate - you don’t need to spend a fortune on monitors or apps.) and just having sex. If you are healthy you shouldn’t really need to do anything bar have regular sex.

Ivf.

No idea. But I did this:

Ovulation sticks.
Sex every other day.
Vitamin D.
Reduced sugar consumption.

I conceived dc 3 and 4 this way within 2 months (and another that I miscarried). When I was much younger, I conceived twins by basically being lax with contraception and lots of sex, so it’s probably also luck.

@SaigonSaigon would you mind sharing what were your symptoms that got you into thinking you might had Coeliac disease? Thank you.

Clearblue ovulation sticks
Took folic acid everyday
Boyfriend took wellman
DTD everyday of fertile window
Laid on back and put legs in air against wall for 15 mins after sex

🤞🏼For a sticky bean as I’m only 4+2 ❤️

I've only just tested positive after 6 months of trying. Each month I tracked everything! Was careful with what I ate and drank. Had sex like it was going out of fashion
Until it came to June and I said no. I ate and drank what I wanted. Didnt track anything! Only had sex 3 times (once in fertile window) and bloody enjoyed just not having to second guess anything.
And it worked!
Only 4 weeks so 🤞 it all goes to plan.
But honestly, it's TRUE when they say once you stop trying you'll get pregnant

@Sageda

Symptoms were miscarriages (I already had a child conceived with ease, but had years of trouble with No.2). Had a great consultant who discovered this plus a Vit D deficiency. I don't think its routinely checked for. I was lucky having it discovered. Don't know what triggered the Coeliac disease, but maybe the first pregnancy.

Cheap ovulation tests
Sex every other day (max 2 days in between on occasion)
