Anyone NOT using 'special help'??
| Sun, 10-05-2008 - 5:01pm |
So after reading a bunch of posts lately, I think I've realized I might be the ONLY one here that's not using some 'special stuff'.... i.e. Presee, Instead Cups, B6, Biotin, etc....
Call me crazy, I'm just using digital opk's, testing like a fool around 'O time' and BD'ing as much as DH and I can stand it (that sounds awful... really, love my DH!!!!). Am I the only one??? Am I really missing out on something here??? This is cycle #4, although I'll argue that our timing hasn't been excellent in a few of our previous cycles.... HELP! Isn't this supposed to all be 'so easy'?????

Hi there. I too didnt use anything. I never took my temps, I never charted, but I did use PreSeed but my DH didnt even finish the nite we used it so that was a waste. Anyway the only thing that I did use faithfully was my CBEFM. It was my 7th cycle but the 1st cycle trying the monitor and it worked. I got my BFP on Friday so you should try that for sure if you can afford it. It is expensive but worth it!!!!!
BABY DUST TO YOU!!!

I am only using b6, and that is becuase i am still breastfeeding my 2nd child. Breastfeeding makes it difficult to conceive, as it shortens the luteal phase. my LP was 8 days!! WAYYY to short. impossible to conceive but taking b6 has lengthened it to 12 days. So mine is not a just-in-case-it-might-work kind of help, it is absolutely nec'ry, LOL!!!
i am fortunate that i have lots of EWCM, and don't need any special product for that.
i don't really use OPKs regularly. if i find any for cheap, i might test with them, but just for fun. i didnt get any this month, i am just going by my fertility signs (CM, etc)
Since you are TTC #1, i assume there is no problem with your LP, but obviously i have no idea how your CM is, HAHAHA! but i am sure that you'd know if you need any of the special helps, ;-) i actually think OPKS are the LEAST useful helps that people could add to their repertoire !! Charting is the best.
GL!!!!! Dont worry, i am sure it will happen soon- conceiving my first actually WAS easy, but #2 and #3 are harder.... stupid breastfeeding, LOL!!!

I don't use anything extra. The best recipe with or without charting is to BD every other day during your fertile time. Every other day allows for more
Good luck, and *~*~Baby dust!~*~*

I'm not really using anything other than BBT and charting. I am, right now,on BCP again for one cycle because I hit a snag and went over 130 days without O, but before that I hardly even used OPKs. I just BD like crazy with DH our first two cycles timing was perfect and nothing happened, but
