Hi all,
TTC since Jan 2020 and because I was a passive reader of mumsnet reading everyones tips and stories, now I have a BFP (5weeks pregnant) I thought i would share what I tried for the first time and did differently in the month when I fell.
What i did;
- SMEP. First time trying this - We followed the smep but dtd twice a day when i got a positive static smiley face CB OPK.
- Made sure I ‘finished’ after dtd as I read on here that (apologies if TMI) contractions following orgasm can help sperm move further inwards....
- Made sure I laid flat for 20mins afterwards - old wives tale but who knows.
- First time using Serenity Progesterone cream (as i am low in progesterone following blood tests) twice a day in diff areas.
- First time taking Iso Soya Flavones, having read about them on mumsnet.
Previously tried / Supplements taken
- Raspberry tea
- Acupuncture. (Twice monthly)
- Reflexology (twice monthly)
- COQ10
- Zita West DHEA
- Vit A
- Vit D
- Vit E
- Vit B6
- Vit B12
- Folic Acid
- L’Aquenine
- Zinc
- Spatone
- Agnus Castas (for a few months but messed up my cycle)
- Starflower Oil (up until Ov)
- EPO (up until Ov)
- Decaf tea/coffee
- Ate ‘helpful’ foods for each week of my cycle
- Affirmations
- Rested
- Breathwork
- Preseed and Conceive plus
All in all, could have been coincidence / fate / luck but it seemed to work. Good luck!!
