This is going to be a group effort. I need everyone's help. I think everyone one posting to this message board is sooooo fantastic and smart. I think we should all post some of their ways to help getting PG. Until a magic pill is invented then we must rely on each other's help and knowledge. I know if Dancing naked in the rain singing the Barney song helped TTC then I would do it. That doesn't work does it? I heard about Robitussin but I don't know exactly what that does and how much to take. Also Green Tea. I don't have to bathe in it do I? So come on ladies. Put on your thinking caps and post your silly, crazy, sensible, serious and fun ideas to TTC and BDing. Don't forget about the DH. What do you have them do to help with the baby making process? What about positions? I always wonder what is the best to conceive. Hanging from the ceiling has been really hard to do. I keep passing out. LOL. Anyways. I hope this helps everyone think of some new fun ways to add some excitement to the seriousness of BDing. I know I could use some spice in my life. Take this and run ladies. Thanks

Robitussin is good to thin out CM to make it more sperm friendly, helps to get the sperm up there. You start taking it about 5 days before you O, take the dosage on the label. You have to get the plain Robi, not the one that has letters after it. Missionary or from behind are suppose to be the best positions for deeper penetration. On top is not very good to BD because the sperm can leak out. Lay on your back for about 10 minutes or so afterwards with a pillow under your hips to prop it up, so possibly the sperm can get to were it needs to go faster. These are some of the tips I'm trying right now. Good luck!

- Don't pee for at least 30 min after BD.

- Have an orgasm before BDing - the muscle spasms will help pull the swimmers to where they need to be. And the added lubrication helps, as well.....

I don't remember what the tea does but a couple other things:

V-8 Splash has vitamins that increase CM - drink between the end of AF and O - a couple of glasses a day...

DH should drink his coffee before BD - helps his swimmers

I have also heard that his count will be higher in the morning...

I just read somewhere that the green tea helps with fertility, I'm not exactly sure how I really didn't get a clear answer. I know it said that if you drink coffee it decreases your chances of conceiving and if you drink green tea it increases you chances. I'm not exactly sure how true this is but this is what I read. I don't realy agree, I drink coffee and have never had a problem.
