What did you do different when you got your BFP

[hopefully2021]

Hi all
Currently going into cycle 6 and starting to lose hope & was wondering if you did anything different the month you got your BFP and how long you were TTC for? xx

Hey lovely. I was off contraception for 2 years and even though we was dtd on fertile days I didn't start counting it until September, the cycles. There was a reason for that so officially 15 months of trying. I felt like I was never going to get pregnant I was heartbroken every single month and every month I put loads of pressure on myself and my partner to dtd as much as possible take loads of vitamins etc. I was booked in for a lap and dye test and that was when I fell, I know its probably annoying to hear but it was the month that we didn't try, I wasn't thinking about it etc. I don't know if that's what did it or if it was just a coincidence, we only dtd like 3 times around ovulation and two of those times was through self insemination! Nearly every other month I'd been forcing 5 times lol anyway there's no rhyme or reason but I wanted to give you hope that it can take some time but I was very impatient I'm sure a lot of us are when we want it so bad! It will happen sometimes it just takes a little time xx

Thank you @Missgoldilocks, its so reassuring to know that not everyone falls pregnant straight away and there is nothing actually wrong - it's just frustrating when others manage to fall pregnant by accident or straight away xx

We fell month 5 and that month I did SMEP and we used Preseed. I also added maca powder to my smoothies in the morning and cut right down on caffeine and alcohol (though had a little). I was also taking a vitamin designed for TTC (Pregnacare brand I think) and an Ovulation testing kit.
Honestly, I don't think it was necessarily any of those things though, I had just gotten pretty desperate at that stage so was trying everything!
When we start ttc again I'll probably use SMEP but that's about it.

It happened after about 18 months and I had convinced myself there was something wrong, had 1 miscarriage and my cycles were all over the place.

I ended up seeing a well regarded Acupuncturist who also worked with the local fertility unit. She used to review the printouts of my cycle every month and after a few months of seeing her, my last appointment before Christmas was to forget about trying and have a few drinks and pick it up in the new year...but if we did do anything then to DTD every other day from the last day of my period and as I approached day 9or10 to do it every day but to make sure it was in the morning rather than any other time of day (can't remember why but this was important!) and to carry on until a few days after I had ovulated.

It was the month I didn't expect it. Oh and DH was eating lots of brazil nuts and had an ice pack on his lap every night for a few months (he was banned from having his phone in his pocket too.)

She later said she had just been treating me for stess as my cycles were fine but I had convinced myself of potential problems and was very stressed about conceiving

With dt (5th round of fertility treatment). Was supposed to have two months off so in that time had a few tipsy nights/holiday planned then to have a healthy month pre treatment. After a month they phoned to fit me in early so hadn't looked after myself great (as I had been doing with previous rounds) was also my last vial and was final shot at a second pregnancy. Its probably luck of the draw but I liked to think after 4 months of stress/pumped full of hormones/logistics of treatment I was mentally in a better place having had some down time.
