Re: The month you got pregnant....was anything different?
I used mucinex to loosen up CM - I didn't really notice a difference but DH definitely did (tmi, sorry). I never really got a lot of visible CM, so thought it might help. Don't know if it was the trick (it was only 2nd month of trying) to getting the BFP but ya never know!

Re: The month you got pregnant....did you do anything different?
i stopped doing basal temping, i stopped using mucinex and preseed, and i was ontop (TMI sorry) all times during ovulation time...
and i dont drink coffee, and i dont recommend it but i drank coffee the first half of that month... i think i ate more poorly that month and i drank a little less (i only have 2-3 glasses of wine a week normaly on the weekend but i even didnt do that.)
go figure! it was my 11th cycle.
good luck!

Re: The month you got pregnant....did you do anything different?
YES, I did nothing. No temps, no charts no holding my legs up like a nut. I drank Cold Corona at 2 in the afternoon and had a blast with my DH. It was the first month of NOTHING. I didnt even know when I was to ovulate, because I kept track of nothing. Who knew I had to blow it all off for something to work.

Re: The month you got pregnant....did you do anything different?
more relaxed and just didnt think about it as much. But as you can see if my husband touches me i get preggo. hence why baby number 2 is on the way and DS is only going to be 14.5 months old.

Re: The month you got pregnant....did you do anything different?
Only thing we did differently was BD in the AM instead of before bed.

Re: The month you got pregnant....did you do anything different?
I bought the CBEFM the month prior. I used that and had LESS SEX! Only right before ovulation and the two days that the monitor told me that I was ovulating. I highly recommend getting it. It's the best money I've ever spent!  Good luck!

Re: The month you got pregnant....did you do anything different?
i did EVERYTHING different that month so i don't know what worked - one thing or a combination.
i started taking b-complex vitamins to lengthen my LP a month and a half before i got PG.
i used pre-seed for the first time that cycle.
i used robitussin from 10DPO until about 15DPO (i have pretty much no CM). never did that before either.
i also used OPKs for the first time that month.
i had basically just been "winging it" before then, so i took control that month and it worked

Re: The month you got pregnant....did you do anything different?
yes, we relaxed a lot!!
the frst 3 months of trying i was using the ovulation preditors and we would BD 24-48 hrs after the + but i wasnt getting the BFP.
The month that I got the BFP I stopped using the OPK's. We BD'd every other day for the ENTIRE month  and I got my BFP. So I didnt even know at the time when exactly I was ovulating.
Good luck

Re: The month you got pregnant....did you do anything different?
I used robitussen & we stopped stressing about it. We actually only did it once that month & just hit it right.

Robitussin from 7dpo to 19 dpo...worked like a charm both times...
Sorry to crash, but I am probably going to O in a few days, and I am taking the Robitussen now...should I be taking it after,too, or just after?

Re: The month you got pregnant....did you do anything different?
This is my 2nd pregnancy, and for both, I swear it was the PRE-SEED!!! First time around, we tried for 14 months, which included Clomid and IUI a few times. Nothing. Second month of Pre-seed, we got pg the old-fashioned way.
This time around, it was the second month of Pre-seed again, and I don't even know when I ovulated because my temp chart seemed totally wacky. Actually I had completely written the month off because my temps were so messed up, and whaddya know, BFP!

i took it for a few days after... since the sperm can live for up to 5 days in an optimal environment, i wanted to make sure my CM was as thin as i could get it for as long as possible... once i was sure i had O'd (about 3 days after my positive OPK) i stopped taking the robitussin
