A bit of fun, a bit of ‘I’ll give anything a go’. What have you tried while ttc and has it worked?

When ttc my first we tried bbt tracking, legs in the air, stopping alcohol and caffeine completely, stopping intense exercise, cutting out refined sugar. None of that seemed to work.

When we finally conceived we had recently started using preseed lube and maca root powder. We’d also both just recovered from an awful cold / virus.

Not sure any of these things made a difference but I like to feel I’m doing everything I can!

Just read on another post about grapefruit juice so I’m going to give that a go too.

Well... a bit TMI but at some point when, erm, DTD so often was difficult, we started using sterile cup and syringes to, well, finish the job. I guess it's the classic "turkey baster" method 🙈

Well first two times I conceived without a clue (both MMC)

planning for first proper try this month with a fertility lube, have been taking a prenatal (and dp) with Coq10 also.
Will see how we get on 😁

I heard pomegranate juice?!

First DC we used maca root too! Took 4 months.

2nd pregnancy, did nothing different. Took 5 months.

3rd pregnancy, I wasn't falling despite doing ALL of the things (supplements, vitamins, legs in air, SMEP, ferti-lily etc.). Ended up using clomid and got my bfp on the 2nd try. Took 15 months.

I had just changed my diet to gluten and cow milk free, and had started eating 1 or 2 Brazil nuts every day for selenium. This was all to help my thyroid, but I got pregnant a few weeks after change of diet, so maybe it helped?

I also did castor oil packs after my period and up to ovulation every 3 days or so.
