[colorado_g]

I am open to any new advices of what to do to increase chances:)))

For example I am drinking grapefruit juice eery morning, 1000mg calcium a day, fertilAid 3xa day, temperature chart and I just ordered fertility monitor.


I am sending a lot of baby dust to ALL ttc

Have fun babydancing

I bought an ANSWER OPK of 20 twenty tests.  I am going to not do BD for the first three days after my period.  Then, for the next 18 day BD every other day.  Then, I will prolly add in another day if I get an positive test on day that we weren't supposed to BD.

hmm.. I think I explained that right.

What is grapefruit juice help with? the calcium? and what is  fertility montior?

[colorado_g]

Sb told me that the juice help your mucos and that calcium is good for fertility. The monitor is simillar to OPK , but it is not for one time use.

God luck on baby dancing

the best little swimmers are 1 - 2 weeks old. so dont bed from when you have your period until 3 days before ovulation is due. then bed every 2nd day as sperm lasts 78 hours inside you. if you do it every day your partners sperm has not had a great chance to re build so it is slow and not as many swimmers in it. this worked for me 3 times without much trying once i got my ovulation day down pat. good luck!!!

i read today that peas and soy are the worst foods to consume when your trying to conceive they have been proven so strong that in some country's they are being used as contraceptives in pill form crazy hu?

DH is taking vitamins as well, 40% of fertility issues are because of the man. He is just taking a high poetency vitamin that had the highest values of the vitamins i found out when researching it.
I take my prenatal plus 2-3 more mg folic acid (canada recommends up to 5mg folic acid) I will be using opk when we get the ok to ttc again, and bum up after sex (everyother day during fertile time according to ovualtion predictor clender)

I ordered FertilityBlend for women and men and we'll started taking that after/if my AF shows.  I'm gonna chart BBT and CM as well.  Do have a question....Is a regular thermometer okay? or do I need to get a special one?

[colorado_g]

thanks for all sugestion and good luck to all

[evthing4reason]

I think you need a special one, but i don't chart so i don't know.

Hi yaya2kk,

Yes, you need a Basal Body temperature thermometer.  You can get them in the thermometer section of a drug store.  I bought mine at Walgreen's for $12 or so a couple years back.
This kind of thermometer will measure your temperature like 98.65 F instead of 98.7.  They are very precise.  I have a digital one that I like very much, and it has pink on it!  Just for ttc methinks.  :)

[yaya2kk]

Thanks, I'm 2 days late, but if AF does come then I'm off to the store to buy one!
