Any tips on things to aid conception?

We are trying to conceive baby #2 and are now on our second cycle. When we fell pregnant with our first it was a total surprise and wasn't planned at all so have no idea of things to be doing that will 'help' with
Chances of conceiving?

Last month I did the OPK testing with clearblue and DTD on the day I had a solid smiley face plus the day after. (I never got the flashing faces prior to the surge of the solid face) but negative pregnancy tests this month for me. I also take pregnacare vitamins.

Any further tips to help would be fab! Thanks so much

Watching with interest! I was about to start an identical thread.

I’ve been TTC since December 2021 with a mmc last summer at 9 weeks.

Give the Sperm Meets Egg Plan a go. Instructions are on Google. Worked for us first month we tried this x

Tried that this month (period in two days and I am testing negative). I will keep going with it though!

@sukiwh I also got the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor again first month we tried this. It's expensive but has lots of good reviews on Amazon x

@Tryingtoconceivenumber2 I've just had a read of this and will definitely give it a try this month! I too just need AF to come in 2 days but like you have had a BFN test aswell for this month.

Ahh so we’re in the same boat! Fingers crossed if you’re testing again this cycle. I would say to anyone - you’re not out until AF comes. With myself though, I just know I’m out. No hope this month!

I‘ve just looked this up now - pricey but honestly willing to try anything! Just beginning referral for help now, but feel like continuing to try everything possible can’t hurt.

I used easy@home ovulation strips and premom app. Also used preseed, both times I’ve used preseed I’ve conceived that cycle.

MrsSB2023 · 02/04/2023 22:37

@Twoinapod i can’t work out how to use the instrument the Preseed comes with? 🙈😂 are you meant to pierce the top of the plastic prod thing? Sorry if I sound thick

If you're tracking ovulation and taking vitamins, the only other things I did with DS were using conceive plus lube and taking tissue salts during the TWW to help with implantation. It took three cycles, but still preparing for #2. Good luck! X

Is it disrespectful to your neighbours to let your yappy dog in garden late nights/early mornings - wakes me and rest of household up - not sure where yappy dog resides - but now getting really annoyed- am I just over reacting or would you be annoyed too

TTCJJB · 03/04/2023 22:42

On the cycle where I got my BFP, I ovulated on day 13 (tracked using clearblue) - We had sex on day 11, 12 and 13. I stayed laid down with legs slightly elevated, when I got up I put in a menstrual cup each time which I left in until the morning.

7&8 days after ovulation I had ovulation type pain on my right, same ovary I ovulated from. Then BFP 10 days after ovulation.

Could well have been coincidence but happy to share if it might help someone. Good luck.

Twoinapod · 04/04/2023 09:23

@MrsSB2023 i just put how much they recommend into one of the tubes and then inserted that into the vagina as it says in instructions. Sorry I’m not sure what you mean by prod thing.

Spending time outdoors in natural daylight is proven to help fertility.
