What did everyone do when trying for a baby? Is there certain tables to take? Or like certain things you can do to help

You might want to get this over to the TTC boards as more people will be in the same boat/wondering the same things

Sex every 2-3 days throughout the cycle, don't bother with timed sex. It took us 2 years to get a BFP. I took an array of supplements: proceive, folate, ubiquinol, omega 3, vit d and vit c - this is on the advice of fertility clinic. I got my BFP naturally - the month we conceived I basically stopped being so rigid about it and relaxed.

Unprotected sex always catches me out 😂

In all seriousness though...Use the ovulation sticks the cheap amazon ones, when it’s getting nearly positive have sex then have sex when you get the blazing positive too for 2 days x

Have sex, don’t use contraception. Take folic acid. And the cheap ones are fine, not vastly inflated pregnacare stuff.

Basically anything else is a money making scheme.

Lots and lots of sex. And folic acid.

Iheartbed · 13/04/2021 18:04

Sex every 2 - 3 days between day 8 and 20 of your cycle. Folic acid.

Fit beige carpets throughout your home and book an all inclusive holiday ....gave up after many years of trying and did the above, now beige carpets are slowly turning a shade of whatever is on little fingers.....
In all seriousness, apart from doing the obvious, try not to let it rule your life although I know that is easier said than done. Best of luck.

Don't stress about being stressed if doesn't work right away. No evidence that being 'relaxed' helps. Made me want to punch people when struggling to conceive. Just relax? That's what I did for the first year...

I kinda gave up.

It was the month after a loss , that took 14 months to even conceive, I didn't bother with smep or opks just thought it would take another 14 month to get another positive result.

I was shocked when I found out I had gotten pregnant again.
