Spinoff - What did you "do" the month you got a BFP?

Did you chart? temp? Use an ovulation prediction test? BD everyday? every other? Etc.

Thanks ladies thought it would be helpful..just looking to maximize the chances. Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Spinoff - What did you "do" the month you got a BFP?

I used the Ovulation Sticks from babyhopes.com. I think they worked great.

I also tried to drink green tea at least once a day starting around CD8. I also took Robitussin.

Also - not to give TMI but - in the previous months I was on top - this was the first month that we were missionary. I would also put my hips in the air when I was done.

Hope that helps a little. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

ETA: We only BD'd on the day we got the surge - then we missed the next day. we did it one more time but I think we missed it with that shot.

As soon as AF ended , we BD everyday. After BD I didn't move for about 10 minutes. I went to babycenter.com and another site that told me what should be the most fertile days but to cover all bases we just did it every day- contrary to what I've read here my understanding is there is no reason not to BD everyday unless there are known sperm issues.

I wasn't sure when to expect AF again because I just came off BCP.

I tested about 30days after my last AF and got the BFP.

I was prepared to be more agressive and planned on ordering ovulation tests and more pregnancy tests but waited until Af came-......

I used OPK's- the digital kind so its really easy to tell when you are getting your surge. I also cut out coffee and started drinking green tea. After ovulation, I drank ruby red grapefruit juice which is supposed to help with implantation. We BD'd just about every other day- but made sure to BD on ovulation day! (We didnt BD the day I got a positive OPK, but had BD'd like 2 days before, and then BD'd again on ovualation day).

I drank too much and forgot to use protection! No missionary, no preseed, nothing. Just FUN.

I was temping to keep track of my cycle, but stopped temping mid cycle due and Dh and I were not careful at this time...
I started temping again and noticed my temps were staying high, so I took a test yesterday and today. I was not truly charting, and didn't plan on trying until next month. We got very lucky...but I am still waiting for the doctor to confirm it.

We did not do anything different, I guess we just timed it right. We were not trying, but we were away for a weekend and just BD alot - multiple times a day.
Good luck & Chat Icon Chat Icon

temped and charted, did OPK's, drank green tea and grapefruit juice from AF-O, did the "missionary" position most of the time, elevated hips after BDing, for 30 min-2 hours, and it all worked for usChat Icon

we BD from CD 8 until two nights before i O'd every other night, however, we didnt BD the day before or the day of my O b/c i had a yeast infection (sorry if TMI) but i guess DH spermies were hanging around from the two to three nights before

I have been charting for over a year (we used protection). This was our first month actively trying and we were successful. I really got to know my cycle - it took quite awhile after the BC pill to become regular.
