The month you successfully got your BFP, what did you do/not do…..

[AlwaysSeekingComfort]

Hey Ladies

Always happy to see loads of BFP’s!

Just thought this thread may help us lot who are TTC.

Basically what I am trying to ask is, the month you got your BFP, what did you do/not do? I.e. did you use OPK, and if so did you only DTD on static smileys or did you DTD everyday on flashing and static? Did you not get a static at all that cycle, only flashing and still got a BFP? Did you not use an OPK at all and went by CM/EWCM? Did you only do it once that month but were lucky to catch that egg? Anyway you get my drift 😂

Any stories I’m sure would help!

Thanks 💐

DS1: took Clomid. Thought it hadn't worked as negative progesterone at CD21. Had Christmas sex (at my parents' house the night after the Strictly final, if you need exact details) on what must have been CD28ish. Proceeded to get drunk over New Year, planning to take a break from Clomid to focus on weight loss. Seems that egg was a late bloomer or something!

DS2: assumed nothing would work as my cycles were still wildly erratic, but wasn't using contraception as we planned to go back to fertility clinic after a year. Anniversary weekend around CD26, DTD a couple of times in an otherwise sparse month.

I use ovulation sticks for a while first time but gave up when I realised how mad my (PCOS) cycles were and it broke my heart never getting positive ones. Never used and fancy goop lube or anything as there's no evidence for them.

All such encouraging fab stories!

Keep them coming ladies 🙌🏼

Didn't pee for about 20 mins after
Kept bum and legs raised
Didn't drink alcohol at all
Used conceive plus lube

Did it once the whole month, barely tracked as I was so busy and got very drunk quite a few times. Every other month I was convinced I’d conceived, the month I actually conceived I was like nah no way am I pregnant after that. I think relaxing helped as I had been so stressed about it all.
