Give me your best advice, Ladies!

So, back at CD 1 again and not happy.  Want to feel like I'm taking control this month so I'm going to drink lots of water, Red Raspberry leaf tea, going for acupuncture, vitamins, trying OPK's - stuff like that.  What other advice can you pass on that you feel has given you success?  I'm looking for things that I can just do or try in the next 2 weeks (so not things that would take a while to work).  Any advice you can pass on would be appreciated.  Anything you make DH do or take (aside from wearing boxers!).  I really have to bring down my stress levels and not worry and that is REALLY hard for me.  The due date for my miscarriage is fast approaching and I'm thinking about it too much.  Thanks.

I made dh take a multivitamin, fish oil, zinc and folic acid.

oh and the second time i DEFINITELY took expectorant (guaifenesin) because I had lots of mucus in the throat and I wanted to loosen it up. I went to get stuff just for that! I think it was Robitussin not sure.

You know what's funny about that? The last 2 times I got pregnant I had a cold right before conceiving. No joke. I got a cold last Halloween and then conceived in November. Unfortunately I MC in Jan. Then I got a real bad flu in March and now am 31 weeks pregnant. Which made it that I conceived right after my flu.

both times I took Nyquil and tons of it.

i can't say if that has any effect at all. But after reading the above post it made me wonder..

I am not sure if this works or if this is a coincidence but I have to say the two times I used it I got pregnant. Try taking cough syrup. Just get the pain ole Robitussin with guaifenesin. Don't get it with any other active ingredients. The guaifenesin is the ingredient to loosen mucus. We generally use it for chest congerstion but it also loosens our lower region's mucus wich in turn help aid the sperm to its final goal...your egg. I used it after a few months of trying back in '08 and the first time I used it, it worked. I got pregnant again this past spring without it but I lost the baby during the summer. I recently got pregnant again a couple months ago and low and behold I had decided to take the cough syrup that month. I think you are to take 2 tblsp 3 times per day. I think the bottle lasted about 3-4 days. You are to start the ritual right before you ovulate so everything gets prepped downstairs for the sperm to make its journey. Again, I can't say I got pregnant because of it but it sure does make me think.

Best of luck this cycle.
