Ok..New Plan for Try # 6!

Ok. I have to try some new things here. Let me know what you guys think:
New Strategy #1- I need to calm down. Everyone in my life has been telling me this and every time they do, I want to kick them in the shin. But maybe they are right. I am going to take yoga this month, breath deeply and all of that crap, take walks to become one with nature, yadda yadda yadda.
New Strategy #2- The one chick (veronica I think was her name) who got pregnant, like, immediately? Yes her. She drank Raspberry Leaf tea everyday sweetened with Agave Nectar. I'm doing it. Whatever she did, I am doing.
New Strategy #3- Cutting back on coffee. I don't drink much anyway but think I will replace it with above strategy. Obviously I have had too much today.
New Strategy #4- We always have had sex everyday right after my period is over and then I get burned out too soon. I think we are going to just try EOD this month until AF or BFP
New Strategy #5- Temping. Today is cycle day 1. I am going to get a thermometer at lunch time. I should have gotten one yesterday but I was still holding out hope that my BFN was a fluke and really I was one of the rare women that test negative and really it is positive. That was not the case.
There you go! My new plan! Yayyyy!!!

Fertility Friend is awesome! You should try their website out. you can get there by clicking anyone of our tickers (with the snail).
GL! I hope your stay is short and sweet.
This made me laugh.
I had the same thoughts when I read that post! I hope that your new plan works and you are able to relax a bit. GL!
TTC #2
Yep, I totally thought the same thing. Now...if I were Raspberry Leaf tea and Agave Nectar, where would I be? I mean, is the tea just a regular old box of raspberry tea or do I have to pick the leaves myself?? I'm guessing the agave nectar is in the ethnic isle at the grocery store?
Seriously! I mean the raspberry leaf tea seems like it should be common enough to find somewhere, but "sweetened with agave nectar"...what does that even mean??? lol
Try the organic aisle at the grocery store or whole foods. It's a low glycemic index sweetener made from agave. Pretty tasty stuff!

You might not want the 12-pack though
Agave Nectar is the new big thing for sweeteners and it can be found in the baking aisle near he sugar on the top stuff. It looks kinda like honey. Supposed to be better for you than sugar with out the artificial sweetener stuff in everything else that is not sugar.
Good luck with your new plan. I would make sure you get a Basel Thermometer that measure to the 100th. So people the change is within the same degree and knowing the 100th of a the degree you can see it. Fertility Friend is amazing to track the temps and for you first 30 days you get VIP so you can have multiple tools to use. Good Luck!
Best of luck to you! Temping is the way to go for sure. Maybe you haven't gotten pregnant simply because you missed your fertile days? It will also confirm if you are ovulating or not.
We are starting Cycle 6 as well. I am doing acupunture already, but I was told to add meditation. Anxiety is a problem for me and TTC has made it worse. I am hoping it helps.
Best of luck to you!

ahhh, good to know. Thanks for the heads up. I'm hoping that I won't need it, obviously, but if AF shows next week I might give it a try.
I am on cycle 5 and I started a new plan this time similar to yours. I tried to chill out as much as possible, because I am convinced that stress is probably the biggest factor (unless there is something medically wrong that I am unaware of). And, I have been drinking POM like it is going out of style (an expensive habit to say the least). During ovulation I drank a POM Green Tea drink that tasted like crap but I figured WTH! Plus, I did the pineapple core this time around. AF is supposed to be here on the 4th...so we'll see. But, I had some light cramping and an unexplained headache on Monday, so I am hoping!
Good luck!
