Thanks so much for making this post! I have been lurking around bc my DH and I are going to start TTC when he gets back from his deployment in a few days.  This post had some great advice and now I finally know all the meanings to the abbreviations that I have been seeing.

Please don't prop your hips up in the air, stick a pillow under your butt, stand on your head, etc.  All of these activities are just begging for a UTI.  After sex, get up and pee.  All of the smart and strong sperm are already well on their way to the target.  Everything that's leaking out after sex is just the fluid and the dumb ones, go pee!

 

This was the most helpful! You hear the weidest things about TTC!   Thanks!

I find it funny that this is pointed out. There must have been a lot of questions regarding propping hips and standing on your head. haha

I also found this post very helpful.  We have been TTC for 7mths now and are on the 8th cycle waiting for O.  I am going to try the green tea and the pomegranate juice.  I am not really a tea drinker, but will try anything at this point because I don't think that I get the CM I am supposed to get when I am ovulating.  I have never seen the egg white mucus in either of the 7 cycles.  It wouldn't hurt to try anyway.  Thanks for the info, it takes away some of the stress of TTC when you are educated.

Thanks so much for all the information!!! My husband and I have been TTC for the past few months and I'm getting nervous because nothing is happening.

Very helpful.

I do have a question......I was at the amazon website looking for the books you all have recommended and I found What to Expect before your Expecting is that a better book to go with when your still trying to conceive? Also, who is the author of Taking Charge of your Fertility? Thanks

AshDahlia

All I can say is God bless the person who put this at the top of the TTGP posts for newbies to see it right away. Good thinkin'!

Toni Weschler is the author of TCOYF (https://www.amazon.com/Toni-Weschler/e/B000AP9EKM/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1). 

I personally have never read WTEBYE, but I have heard others recommend it on this board. Can't hurt to read it, I guess :-)

GhostMonkey:

Green tea helps to increase the amount of CM that you have.  Drink 1-2 cups from CD1-Ovulation.  Don?t drink green tea during the 2ww because it could cause uterine contractions which might impact implantation. 

Also make sure you are drinking the green tea at least 4 hours removed from taking your prenatal vitamin- it can block the absorption of folic acid.

 

Thanks, GM! I edited it :-)

So glad this post has made a re-appearance!!  I was around back in 2010 when it was referred to all the time and I found it super helpful as a newbie!  Thanks for keeping it current :-)

Since we're talking about books here, I just heard about a new book for TTC -- The Impatient Woman's Guide to Getting Pregnant (appropriate title, huh?): 

 https://www.amazon.com/Impatient-Womans-Guidea-Getting-Pregnant/dp/1451620705/ 

I Googled the title and found this Q&A with the author:

 https://www.impatientwoman.com/author.html 

 Looks like it has some good info I haven't seen elsewhere.
