Due to a scheduling screw-up at the RE we are forced to wait until 1/7 for our treatment consult. Since I got AF yesterday we won't be able to do treatment this cycle. I figure we might as well try everything we can in a last ditch effort to get pregnant on our own.
Any tips for stuff we can do that doesn't involve prescriptions or appointments? I'm going to pick up Robitussion (no letters after the name, take 3x a day for the entire week leading up to ovulation), but what other "old wives tales" are there?
I figure it doesn't hurt, but I'm certainly not holding out any hope.
Thanks!

Considering the high FSH mention in your siggy I would suggest trying wheatgrass.
Have you looked in to acupuncture?

Preseed or egg whites
Green tea before ovulation, but hours before or after your PNV
Pineapple 1-5 days after ovulation
Do you chart, so you know about when you ovulate? I'm assuming so.
Use OPKs, and have sex the day of the first positive and every day thereafter until O is confirmed, plus the day after.
I can say for certain that having sex days 9-11-13-15 would not have worked for me. I never ovulated until CD21 even with clomid.
Otherwise, I think everybody said everything I'd heard.
