Any other tips I've missed?

[Frandler]

Hi all,

I'm on cycle 4 of TTC baby#1. I've had no faint positives or anything like that. Definitely fully aware each month before AF that it hasn't worked this cycle.

I know it's still very early days, but I want to make every month count even if it takes a long while. I've been taking Vit D and Folic acid, tracking my ovulation (CB digital advanced), drinking pomegranate juice, eating pineapples, using Concieve Plus lube... I think that's it.

Are there any other tips that people swear by? I could dabble in the whole BBT thing but I'm going to be honest, it really confuses me haha!

My mother’s advice to a neighbour of mine (and she said it worked) was to drink cherry brandy and have sex on top of the wardrobe. I think what she really meant was relax and enjoy being with your partner. However my mother swore that’s how I was conceived.

@mdh2020 🤣 I like that one. I don't know if anyone else is the same, but every other time we dtd it's great, but when I'm ovulating there's that added pressure and tension.

I've stopped drinking full stop (not a massive drinker anyway) to increase chances but maybe a couple of drinks here and there would help cut the tension!

It took 14 months this time and the one change was less sex, we had sex the Sunday and I ovulated the Wednesday. So going by that, all the 'rules' mean nothing.

@PutOnAHappyFace that's really useful to know. I might try for less this month and just time it well.

Try sex every other day and lay in bed with legs up for an hour... worked for me

I ttc over 40. Cut out tea /coffee /pop. Lots of veg especially greens. Folic acid. Dh took vitamin c tablets..
Moved house and forgot all about ttc. Got a bfp after a quickie doggy style on the front room floor!
