Any tips?!

[winkle2]

Hello lovely pregnant ladies :)

I'm TTC at the moment, what would you advise me to do to get PG? List your best tips here!

I am not pg but have been twice... for me, daily sex for a few days after my mid-cycle date worked- so if cycle is 28 days, shagging on days 15-18 for eg. When we happens to do it more on days 12 -15, nothing.

I also did the daft legs in air for 5 mins after sex thing- not sexy, and possibly pointless, but harmless at least!!

TTC now though so will watch with interest for other tips!

Lots of sex, but don't make it all about conception - sex just for the sake of procreation can become boring and a chore rather than fun! If you or DP don't feel like it then don't feel pressure to do it just because you might miss this month's chance.

Expect it to take time, if it happens quickly that's a bonus.

Expect to feel sheer terror and some uncertainty when you DO get the BFP - one wee changes your whole universe!

Clear Blue Fertility Moniter. I found it really took the pressure off - way less stressful than charting/OPKs.

Stopped having sex every day (in the window of opportunity!) and went for every other day and it worked!!

My last 2 cycles have been 32 days so (according to calc) I'm fertile between Weds 18th to Sun 22nd. We DTD on 17th, 19th and will do it tomorrow.

Thanks for the tips so far! All gratefully received :) I've been having out on the TTC board but haven't seen any threads that offer real life tips!

That should say 'hanging out'!

Definitely what the others said, lots of sex, every other day throughout the month, not just in the (ahem) window of opportunity!

We were ttc for 2 years but for most of that time just werent having sex enough, I got pregnant within 2 months of us upping our game (but that could be coincidence of course)

Preseed!

We were trying for 9 months unsuccessfully and decided to stop temping, ovulation sticks and focusing sex on the 'special' days. Instead we just had fun/kinky sex every other day. I laid on my back (after every time) with my legs in the air for at least 30 mins - occasionally bicycling or doing headstands for comic effect.

I also had 3 tsps of manuka honey per day and we used preseed.

All these things we did for just one month and got bfp - so i can't say which aspect it was.

We went on holiday, had a few drinks to chill out, shagged A LOT and I stayed laying down for a while after. I dunno if it made any difference but we had a lovely time

Apparently the vitabotics pregnabcy&conception vitamins are good as they're the only ones with vit d in them

We used cheapie ovulation sticks

Also went on holiday and shagged a lot without thinking of dates!
