BFP! What I did differently.

[Birchtree4]

I saw a post similar to this last month the day AF came and it made me feel really positive and motivated, I hope it potentially helps someone.

Here are the things I believe contributed to my BFP:

1. Gave up vaping the day after ovulation - I was puffing away at a bus stop and read a study where they showed it affected implantation in mice, and decided to chuck mine in the bin before getting on my bus! Hasn't been the easiest, there has been a lot of sucking on pens this week!

2. Used clearblue advanced digitial sticks in the mornings, supplemented with easy @home OPK strips in the evenings - 7 flashing smilies before my solid one. DTD day 1, 2, 3 and 7 of flashes, then twice on day of solid and once more 2 days after solid. I think the key is to DTD a lot beforehand to get as much sperm up there as possible.

3. Got the OH started on Ashwaghanda supplements - he didn't have much ejaculate before he started taking them but it made a massive difference. He also had a better sex drive and lasted longer! Would recommend these.

Didn't do anything else out of the ordinary. As for symptoms, I basically had none that I noticed. In retrospect sleep the last couple of nights has been slightly disturbed, otherwise lack of PMS was my only symptom!

Good luck all x

I always appreciate these!

Were you taking any supplements yourself?

Well done on kicking the vape. I finally totally quit nicotine lozenges in March and I know it’s hard.

Thanks for this!

Do you also mind me asking how old you are and how long you have been TTC?

Hi @Chica1990
I use pregnacare pre conception, and used evening primrose oil until ovulation date to help promote EWCM, which it did.
I am 30, started trying at start of September but only got a normal period end of October so 2 cycles of proper ttc.

Thanks re. Vape, I imagine lozenges are no easier! Both take away the tabboo of going out for a cigarette so you get so used to doing it all the time.

Congratulations x

Hi I have lack of symptoms and due af tomorrow bookbinding good sign xx

Not bookbinding meant to read hoping 🤣
