This month is my month! 🤞 On my 7th month TTC first time and determined to smash it (in every way? 🤪) this month!

Does anyone have conception tips please?

Raise legs after DTD? Does it make a difference? What worked for you?

I use clearblue ovulation tests (advanced) and will DTD basically everyday across the fertile period CD 11-18.

Thanks 🙏 🤞

I tried this raised legs thing and didn't work. When we finally got pregnant I was making sure we DTD when I felt my ovulation from increased cervical mucus.

I wouldn’t do it every day, I’d do every other day. I made sure I was on the bottom when I was fertile. And yes, I think putting a cushion under your bum for 30 mins or so helps.

Google ‘sperm meets egg’

in my case it worked every time I wanted to get pregnant

What worked for us two times was DTD at least every 36 hours from the moment my period finished enough to allow it until it was well into the next expected period (which obviously didn't come, as I say it worked twice!). First baby I was timing for fertile window then month 5 decided to not monitor and just DTD as early as possible. As it worked we did this for second baby and caught first month.

This is all really helpful thank you.

I'm eating healthily, not drinking etc for dry Jan, exercising and healthy weight.

Like some of the advice here I'd heard it's better to DTD every other day rather than every day as better for men's sperm health. But other part of me thinks just try as much as poss!

Good point about just going for it as soon as period over, why not I suppose! My ovulation does move so good to hedge bets and just go for it!
