Our tips on TTC....

Writing this post to throw out a few tips on TTC....I'm lurking over from 1st trimester. My DH and I were TTC for only about 2 months and I went crazy....I started researching online, found the bump, and read about FF. The next month I started to temp, take Vitex and b6 from the first day of my period till about 4 days after ovulation, use pre-seed and eat pineapple at ovulation and days afterwards. Much to our surprise I got pregnant. A friend of mine was on the exact cycle of mine. Her and her DH had been trying to conceive for 9 months. They were just at the doctors office last week were they ordered bloodwork and sperm analysis for next month. Once I told her I was pregnant, I gave her all the information on what I took. They tried everything I did last month and she's due for her AF on April 15. She just sent me a picture last night with positive pregnancy tests!!! She was 11 DPO and tested early. I just wanted to give any piece of information to all those TTC because I've been in your shoes and know what your going through...wishing everyone best of luck!!!!

My heart is as open as the sky.
Read about it on the blog
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

Ugh I completely missed that.
Okay, fair enough. but if you lurked over here and were active on here at all, then you would know that everything you mentioned are things that get discussed here regularly and that most of us do in some combination.
Here's the thing - all of those tips are in the Newbie post at the top of the page. So it sounds kind of smug to come on and tell us these things that we've already read.
TTC #1 since March 2011
1 medicated TI cycle & 4 clomid IUIs = all BFNs
DS1 born 2/14
TTC #2 since December 2014
May 2015 unassisted BFP ended in m/c at 7wks
April 2016 FET #1 = BFN
June 2016 FET #2 = c/p
August 2016 FET #3 = BFP!
DS2 born 4/17
Whatever would we do without this wisdom?!
EDD 07/29/2017
Yet you still thought this was a good idea....

Well intentioned? Yes, sort of. Wise? Absolutely not. The intention is a little appreciated, but that is overwhelmed by the fact that you are lording it over us all like you have some miraculous knowledge that is based in only a small amount of experience. Sure, I like it when gals post what worked for them in their BFP posts. That said, there is no sure-fire way to get pregnant, and some things that people think helped them, in reality, may or may not have. Also, all of our bodies are unique. This golden information you've given us is not so golden or new for that matter. Much of it is already on here.
Also, I don't want something to complain about, so please think twice next time before you give me your pride smack in my face to complain about. I wish you nothing but the best, H&H 9 months and the joys of motherhood. Now, please go back to first trimester and enjoy yourself there, but if your intentions are really what you purported them to be, you'll apologize first.
Yeah... because you gave us a bunch of information that we had NEVER heard before. Good god.
