What did you do different the month you fell pregnant?

[brightwhite]

Or what had you changed in the weeks leading up to conceiving?

DC is 4 and we conceived first try.

TTC number 2 for a year now and feel I've tried EVERYTHING.

Vitamins, diet, conceive plus, opk's, prayers!

DH has had a sperm count and all is well above average. I had an internal scan and all looks normal apart from a small fibroid. I have been referred to the fertility clinic.

Desperately trying in the meantime though as it could take 6 months to be seen.

We chilled out and stopped stressing. Went down the route of ‘if it happens it happens’. I found the stress levels dropped and we stopped having sex to conceive and just had sex then we fell pregnant.

Good luck

Stopped testing and tracking for ovulation, had sex when we felt like it, tried not to think about conceiving at all and just relaxed.

Took Clomid orally as opposed to having a great big needle stuck in my backside

Good luck, I hope it happens for you soon.

Went on holiday and relaxed

I had a hot oil massage!
But probably more importantly, temperature tracking to pinpoint fertile times

Got drunk.

Thank you all, looks like I need to chill out!

Easier said than done

For me, it was the first month (after 7 months TTC) I used OPKs and monitored CM and realised that I had been mistiming my ovulation every other month. That might have not had anything to do with why I conceived that month though, it’s mostly just luck isn’t it.

Both times just after a holiday and no real 'trying'

Used a clear blue opk and dtd twice on the day I got the static smiley (we didn't do it at any other time during that fertile window for various reasons). It was either to do with that or relief that we'd exchanged on our new house the previous day 😆. Found out I was pregnant 12 days after moving in.

We'd been trying to move for a good couple of years, and ttc for 11 months so do wonder if the knowledge we were finally moving meant my body decided the time was right.

Nothing.We could only have sex 8 days a month as dh worked away mon to fri

SMEP

Err nothing .. wasn't 'trying', DH much keener than me .

Reflexology and progesterone

I also stopped tracking a month or so prior and just stopped thinking about it!! Deffo easier said than done and I was so sceptical about it, best of luck. X

Legs up against the wall every single time for at least 10 minutes after sex.

Stopped tracking ovulation, temps etc and thought we’d try to relax before going to the GP to start the ball rolling after TTC for almost 18m. This might be TMI but I also stopped laying with my legs up after DTD and went straight to the loo afterwards. Kept up the vits etc and I had lost about a stone in weight before getting lucky. Not sure which bit helped though!

Changed jobs.
I was very very stressed, so much so I’d be almost shaking coming home.

I later found out that fat read is very bad for fertility.

Oh and lost weight

After 2.5 years of infertility my husband was sent to South Africa for 2 weeks. Scheduled to leave the day before I ovulated that month.

We had so much fun saying goodbye 😜 and after 2+ years had ruled out that month.

In the middle weekend I had a Eurovision party and got smashed!

The day he flew home my period hadn't arrived so I tested. Was shocked to finally see 2 pink lines. I FaceTimed him straight away lol.

A bit different because I had IVF, but around the time of my fourth transfer (I also had four unsuccessful IUIs) I got lots of sleep. I made a point of going to bed at a decent hour, aiming to get at least eight hours, preferably nine. Apart from that, I didn’t try the things I’d attempted before, mainly pineapple!

I forgot to mention that the transfer where I got more sleep was the one which resulted in my daughter!

We gave up. Had been trying for 3 years and we accepted defeat, went away for the weekend, got drunk and ate loads of bad food.

After ttc for 2.5 years, failed IVF (the round took nearly 3 months due to complications and should have been done in 6 weeks) unexplained infertility. Due to start another round of IVF stressed to hell as we knew what we had to go through! Hoping to god that we don't have to do it again! Had the most unromantic, high pressure let's have sex as I'm ovulating sex.
Fell pregnant!
All this relax and you will conceive is crap in my opinion.
Hope you have your baby soon xxx

Ditched OPK and tracked temperature instead. Most importantly paid attention to cervical mucus. Conceived that month after over a year of trying, and then same again for two subsequent pregnancies.
