I know I didn't post much but I lurked ALOT and learned a ton from this board. I credit this board with helping me make this happen! This is TTC # 2 and it was HARD! My DS1 was concieved on the 2nd try...I just had no idea what people have to go through until now. It took us 10 months of well timed BDs PLUS a few months of not preventing and sort of timed ok BD's. So, I was SHOCKED to see this today at 12 dpo. In fact, I had my referral all ready to go to the RE. Funny that they actually called today of all days to make the appt!
So, I always enjoyed reading this part of BFP posts...what we did different:
1. I have an LP of 10-11 days so I took B-Complex from CD 10-today. Not sure if it helped but it's the first month I've taken it.
2. I O'ed earlier this month than ever for me - CD 17. Usually it's CD 19-23. We BD only on O-2, and O.
3. Drank Green Tea and lots of water - but that was no different than other months.
Also, just so you guys know, I got negatives on Wondfo's from 9 dpo - through today (never got a positive). It wasn't the bad batch either. Something just felt like I should try the FRER this morning so I did and 2 lines. I confirmed with a digi, also positive. I'm not sure why the Wonfo's didn't pick it up as I thought they would.
Cautiously going to lurk on 1st Tri but thank you for all the information over these months! FX for lots of BFP's soon!

Wow!...I do not think she said that people have control over those things. She wrote what they did differently. Some people like myself with a shorter LP might read this and give it a try just to see. You really need to chill.
Congrats! Thanks for sharing.
I agree--I like reading the "what we did differently" posts too. Anything that can give us something else to think we have control over it, right?
Well to me, her taking B complex pills is what she did differently!
