Stopped all supplements and vitamins and like so many other ladies on here got crazy drunk at the staff Christmas party and that was it! Got a BFP @ 8DPO and she’s now 4 and sleeping in her car seat lol.

Strawberrymoonx · 19/10/2023 18:29

We did the sperm meets egg plan and that was first month we got a BFB after trying for months!

Mama09876 · 19/10/2023 18:48

Reoccurring theme on here 😂 seems getting pissed is the way to do it 😂

i was having Brazil nuts and pomegranate juice and I did the seed cycling. Only DTD twice in fertile window.

I always got my LH surge on the same day of the week, even if my cycles were 4 or 5 weeks long. This was unfortunately the day that DH and I used to go into the office (wfh otherwise). I always wanted to dtd that day but he always insisted we didn’t have time in the morning then was too tired in the evening and said it would be fine to dtd the following morning. The cycle I got a BFP I managed to seduce DH the evening of my lh surge 😂

We also stopped using lube, I didn’t realise this could slow sperm down.

Had sex five nights in a row on month 1 during fertile window. Bingo!

BethDuttonsTwin · 19/10/2023 20:57

i stayed lying down for ages with my legs up against the wall rather than immediately getting up and walking around. I know some might say it would make no difference but I did get pregnant with dd and we had been trying for a year before that with no luck.

Went on holiday

Used a moon cup to keep the liquids where they were supposed to be.

Nextexitisthelast · 19/10/2023 21:01

Stopped trying and drank two bottles of wine the night of. Also had sex way before I ovulated

MollyMarples · 19/10/2023 21:05

Stopped taking supplements, stopped using lube, stopped tracking ovulation and bbt and stopped trying! Had sex once that month

Longtobe2023 · 19/10/2023 22:18

I’m creasing how the theme seems to be having a tipple 🥂 it must be when we’re at our most relaxed lol

Cakeorchocolate · 19/10/2023 22:21

Nope.

Chanhedforthis · 19/10/2023 22:23

Yes, ditched the FLO app!

Was tracking periods, mucus, symptoms for months and wasn't getting anywhere.

Fell pregnant when i didn't bother with it. When i looked back we had sex at least a week after our 'ovulation' day.

mrsed1987 · 19/10/2023 22:25

Interestingly I got pregnant first time of monitoring my ovulation properly, as in testing every day! The 3 months before that I was only half heartedly doing it. Must have got the timing spot it!

MissAmbrosia · 19/10/2023 22:27

Went on holiday, visited some thermal springs and drank shedloads of Limoncello. DH swears the thermal waters and the bottle of Barolo had a positive clearing effect on his "tubes". My little Limoncello baby is nearly 20.

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 19/10/2023 22:27

Couldn't have a massage 😫

Matildahoney · 19/10/2023 22:36

Stopped tracking as we were so busy decorating DPs house and moving him into mine, so pretty relaxed about it that month, had lots of spontaneous sex while we were doing it, l ovulated early that month too, I'm 29 weeks today!

FrenchandSaunders · 20/10/2023 10:54

So the common theme is get pissed and have sex rarely 😀
Complete opposite of what the experts recommend!

TillyTrifle · 20/10/2023 10:58

Drank a glass of grapefruit juice every morning. I could see visible differences to the amount of cervical mucus I got around ovulation and got pregnant doing this both times. I’m not stupid enough to think its a cure for anyone with actual fertility issues but I’m always surprised it isn’t mentioned more as a possible aid because as I say, I could see immediate physical differences to my body which may well have aided me in getting pregnant that time. Definitely worth a try!

Mumaway · 20/10/2023 10:59

Most of a bottle of brandy and a fat cigar.

lucysnowe2 · 20/10/2023 11:02

Soy isoflavones 🤷‍♀️

FlyingHighFlyingLow · 20/10/2023 11:06

I wasn't supposed to be able to get pregnant naturally. Weren't preventing, but weren't expecting anything, was more because you need to be having unprotected sex for a while to get fertility treatment so figured we'd get the ball rolling as approaching mid-30s.

Month one - lots of sex, trip abroad, drinking, relaxed. No pregnancy.

Month two - I got unwell after flight back, then a couple of days after I recovered DH came down with it, as he was recovering found out a family member was going to pass imminently, long distance trips to visit around hectic full-time work schedule. Had sex maybe twice whole month between everything going on, neither at what was supposed to be a particularly fertile time. Somehow got pregnant! 34 weeks now!

jellytots18 · 20/10/2023 11:17

Stayed horizontal in bed after. Normally I would get up straight away and go for a wee (sorry if tmi 🫣)

We had been casually "not trying but not not trying" for about 5 months and that was the month it stuck. Could have been a coincidence but that was the only different thing I did xx
