I truly want to be pregnant... so help the best you can.

Okay, I'm finished with AF.. and I should be ovulating anywhere between the 6th-13th of August. How many different ways are their to help get pregnant? Besides OPK's. I want to try without those because DH said, were not wasting money on something like that unless their pregnancy tests. Which I guess I could agree. They could be a waste of money if we have to keep buying them everymonth. Anyways, I know theres ways of checking CM for ovulation and taking temps. Are their more? And when/how do I start temping? Please, anything you can do will be very appreciated. I want to be come pregnant in August! It's not a special month.. We've been at this for 4 months already. Just need to get it right soon. I know it can take up to a year in some cases.... I just found out that, DH's uncles gf is 3 weeks pregnant... I want to be right behind them!!! ANYTHING WILL HELP ME RIGHT NOW.

The book krissy suggested is definitely what will give you the best information.

To check CM--- when you have EWCM (egg white cervical mucous) you are in your ovulation phase of the cycle. You can have all different textures and colors of CM but it MUST resemble egg whites to be considered fertile CM.

So on the days you have EWCM, it's time to BD. I got pregnant with my youngest using this method very quickly. The reasons I'm not pregnant after 5 months of trying is because I developed PCOS and I don't have CM production anymore (probably because I'm not ovulating). Otherwise that would be MY personal method of choice!

Some natural things you can do while TTC:
1). Take prenatal vitamin
2). Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day and ditch any caffeine
3). Eat avocodos (one a week)
4). Stretch and exercise
5). Make a doctor appointment (if you haven't already)

There's probably more. Just be healthy and HAVE FUN!

i highly recommend the book "taking charge of your fertility."  it goes into detail all of the things you are questioning....it helped me a load!  also, you may want to try out raspberry leaf tea.  i had my husband take extra vit.C to bulk up his sperm count.  be sure to have sex every other day and then every day right around ovulation time.  as soon as you seen the super slippery/stretching cm, time to go at it!!  i know the opks are expensive, but they were really helpful to me.  you can buy them online for much cheaper...i didn't, but next time i plan to!  good luck!! :-)  l
