for the Pregnant ladies...what did you do different?

[Mumita]

So what did you guys do different on the month that you got pregnant?

[louieforlaughs]

hey!
just found out i am pregnant! the first two months of trying i still felt the birth control was playing in the game. so i dont know if that counts as trying really. but this last month i just knew i was regular again. i had ewcm for four days only about a week after my period. i didn't experience it quite so much the first two months, so i knew that the birth control was still active.  ever since we decided to start trying i have been pretending that i am pregnant. taking my vitamins and making sure to eat right and not do things above my capabilities. asked for help when i needed it and stopped drinking my favorite tea in preparation to give it up completely.  so i just had the mentality that i was already there. also, we are quite an active couple and there was more than enough sperm swimming at all times throughout ewcm. but that is just us and it seems to have worked. at that point in time i was also looking into laying down vs. standing up after. i decided that i wouldn't worry this past month and would get up after anyway. and apparently it doesn't really matter if you lay down or not after.  so that was something interesting i learned. also, i did my best to not stress out over stuff. i figured it will happen when it happens and it will be wonderful. if this isn't the month then we will try again next month. i also thought i would take my temp (the regular way as they say that works too) next month if i was concerned. i was actually looking forward to making a chart for myself by the bed so i could have it on the wall and post my temp daily. and it was going to be a craft i was gonna do. (kinda made me want to work at it next month, wonder if that helped me psychologically?!)
i think the big thing is trying to have fun with it. i know its hard doing tww and its stressful!! but you have to have faith in your body, it will happen.
good luck and have fun!!!
p.s. i also told myself that if after a year i was still having problems i would go to the doctor. maybe knowing you have a year to play with will help you subconsciously?

Well I think I'm going to not do anything other than take my prenatals.  Last couple of months I've been taking Omega3 along with the prenatals AND i've been drinking green tea a lot.  I noticed that on my period this weekend I only bleed a lot if I took the Omega 3, if I didn't then I'd stop bleeding. So maybe that's doing something in there so i'll stop.  When I got pregnant last time I was only taking half of the regular dose of prenatals.
This month, nothing just prenatals and my regular cup of coffee in the morning. That's it.  Oh and I might take up my husband's suggestion on the quickie in the morning since he doesn't want me to do bbt or opk because he thinks its "weird"  I'd really like to get pregnant this month.  I want a summer baby :)

I hope you get pregnant this month i really do want you to have a summer baby too!! SSBD

I threw caution to the wind this time.  I put the RE on the back burner and didn't do blood work, u/s, trigger shots or OPKs.  I kept my O day in the back of my mind and was not going to stress if we didn't bd at the right time.  Time went by and I started having weird cramps, not AF cramps and I tested and BFP!

We only had sex right on the ovulation days and not for an entire week before.  The idea being a larger sperm count when it really counted.

Hey Mumita, just wanted to let you know I've read in quite a few places that pregnant women should not drink green tea at all.....maybe not a good thing when trying to conceive then either? Just food for though....hope you get your summer baby! :)
