Doing anything different this month? Sharing suggestions!

Hi ladies

Ovulation is approaching at a snails pace and so I wanted to share with you some different things I’m going to try this month. Other than lots of BD!

I read in the below article that eating pineapple core before you ovulate and eating Brazil nuts during tww helps implantation. The comments on the article sounded positive so I thought I’d give it a go. Has anyone tried this? I wanted to share in case it helps anyone!

Also using clearblue digital opk for the first time this month too instead of IC. The guesswork and testing three times a day was just too much!

Is anyone else trying new things or upping their game this month?

@Peony2021 congrats! Did your lines get stronger?

@Indie29 congratulations to you too! Thanks for sharing what you've been doing this month.

Ladies I've given up on the POM pomegranate juice after having found out it's from concentrate so it doesn't have all the benefits that pomegranates have 😑 so I've purchased pure pomegranate seeds this cycle and will be snacking on them from 1 DPO (today).

We've DTD every 2 days this cycle since AF finished. The 2 cycles I got BFPs, the one pattern I can find is that we didn't DTD every day like we have a lot of other months. I'm thinking it's good to have a day break between to allow sperm to build up and also have sex ASAP when AF finishes to clear out week old sperm 😆 not saying this technique is best for everyone of course but it's more ideal when there's a chance there could be low sperm count.

I forgot to mention this month my husband has been taking wellman conception pills so I'm hoping the zinc, selenium etc in them help 🤞

Hey @cat8986 this all sounds so promising I hope all these tricks work out for you this month!! I'm still eating my Brazil nuts (now I'm scared if I stop it will all go wrong 😂). Will keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻 xx

Thanks so much @2020mission still testing every so often and have good lines, 5 weeks today! Had plenty of symptoms last week but now everything gone and of COURSE anxiety is kicking in! Hoping it's just coming and going 🤞🏻 I totally agree with you every other day worked much better for us too, seemed to give us time and the sperm time to recover!! Will keep everything crossed for you also 🤞🏻 xx

@glow92 my cycle didn’t lengthen, I was still 28/29 days, which meant my luteal phase was shorter.
Try not to be hard on yourself! It’s easy to get caught up with taking everything you think you need to, but it’s only through research and your own experience that you will find what works for you.

Thanks for your reply @cat8986
CD19 and still nothing, I only had a 25 day cycle last month which is why I'm so annoyed! 😞
