Hi me and DH have two DC 6 years apart tried TTC again when youngest was about 4 or 5 I was 36/37 and it took five years of trying all kinds of temping and stick peeing but AF came every month. Thankfully now I'm 12 weeks pregnant with scan on Monday.
I'll go through what I did.
I used pre mom app.
I temped for 12 months then stopped.
I changed ovulation testing kit to wandfo from one step, or what ever they're called.
I phoned that fertility helpline number and spoke to Diane the fertility nurse and she is lovely. She deserves proper recognition that lady!
My dh started taking zinc and selenium, was on that for about a year.
Gave up caffeine and did three months keto.
Got DH to stop blaming me for it. Made him understand that it's impossible for one of us to be having fertility problems, it's a couple's problem regardless of who's bits are playing up. WE have fertility problems. Not I or you.
About 5 months before BFP
I drunk wheat grass powder daily. Gave up after one pouch was finished.
Started listening to binaural beats for miracle pregnancy on YouTube.
Did meditations on YouTube for inviting baby to the womb.
Did something out of my comfort zone and different one day when kids were at school which ended up with me being searched by the police! Actually that was an awful experience I wouldn't recommend it but I felt like it changed my path somewhat.
3 months before BFP
Wrote my intentions to become pregnant on two bits of paper and kept them in my pillow case at night and each day kept one in my pocket.
Took serripeptase but stopped because my hair was falling out on it.
About 1-2 months before BFP
I took vitamin b, zinc, vitamin c, , vitamin d vitamin e, folic acid and fish oil all from separate pots.
Then thanks to Christmas and Covid we had a real skint time and I ate a stupid amount of Savoy cabbage. I mean it was with EVERY meal because one of them is only 42p in Tesco. I also had quite a bit of boiled bacon and lots of stews but the cabbage was just on overkill. Oldest dd has said she will leave home if she sees it on her plate again.
Just before I found out I was laying on the sofa and the blanket felt like a pregnant belly so I allowed myself to indulge in the feeling.
One night in bed I saw a blue flash when my eyes were closed.
A few days later I woke up with an upset tummy that reminded me of my first pregnancy. Also I had told DH if I'm not "Up the duff" this month, I'm giving up and I really meant it. I mumsnetted about giving up TTC.
Finally I tested at one day late and got BFP.
The night before last I dreamt of a news paper headline saying "Two Boys" as clear as anything.
I'm now wondering if it means anything.
I just thought I'd put this so if there's anything anybody wants to try that they haven't already, they can coz TTC is bloody horrible.
Good luck
