Trying to Get Pregnant

What are you doing different this cycle?

Hey Girls! Anyone trying anything new this cycle? I am! I started taking EPO, green tea extract, and pomegranate extract, plus I started temping. I am also going to try to use pre-seed more often, only tried it once or twice so far.  The questions should be, what am i NOT trying, lol!?! 

What about you?

Re: What are you doing different this cycle?

  • We arent using condoms or bcp.

     Its our first cycle

  • Sheesh! Sounds like you have your bases covered! GL!

    Green tea and pom juice...but I might sneak some pre-seed in there where I can.

  • This cycle we started using pre-seed (externally) and I didn't chart...not b/c I didn't want to but b/c we were out of town for a week and I knew that I wouldn't be disciplined enough to set my alarm on vacation.

    If this isn't our cycle, I'm pulling out all the stops next cycle (POM, pineapple core, EPO, pre-seed etc.). I'm thinking we may also try to have sex in the morning more often than at night and sex EOD. 

     

  • I am taking EPO. And going to be using Pre-seed. Also going to make DH do ED or at least EOD since he hasn't been completely on board when it matters. Also I have Pre-seed that we are going to use as well.

    I do not like tea and I can't have juices so what is the extract?

  • This is our 1st cycle charting, so that's obviously helpful. I'm also doing metformin 2x daily, EPO, pom, mucinex, and vitamin E. I started the month off doing green tea, but I got advice from a couple of girls whose RE's said it could actually be a hinderance in TTC. So as of today, I'm skipping that.
  • This cycle I tried:

    - Pom juice

    - Green tea

    - Pre-seed

    - Sex EOD

    - Yoga to relax

  • Thanks to charting it's been determined that I have a short LP.  This cycle I'm taking 50mg of B6 along with my PNV to try to lengthen my LP. 

    I'm going to be out of town from CD 11 - CD 21 and I usually O on CD 23, so needless to say DH will be getting lots of loving when I get home!

  • I started to chart this cycle and I'm going to lurk the grocery stores to see if I can find some POM and pineapple cores.

    Because of the great "Snow"vember of 2015, my medicated cycle was cancelled.  However, we were blessed with our little rainbow baby due on 8/14/15!  Baby J had other plans and decided to make his grand ole entrance on 7/4/2015!

    Surprise!  Our little girl entered this world on 12/8/2016 after her eviction notice was long past due.  Our little turkey baby turned into a snow baby!

  • I'm getting KTFU - that's what I'm doing differently. Wink

    Hopefully just more sex since I'm pretty sure that's our biggest issue.

    I found it at the drugstore, it's an herbal supplement and it just says "pomegranate" on it! Sounds like it could be a good option for you!
