Okay ladies, last cycle ended in diappointment (again!) but I am determined this this going to be my month! 9th time's a charm, right?! I'm looking for suggestions. I am willing to try anything and everything this month. Tell me if I'm leaving anything out:
-charting my temp. and bding everyday when I see the shift (and before...and after...what the heck)
-taking robitussin for several days before ovulation and during
-loading my husband up with 1000 mg. of vitamin C everyday
-laying around for 30 minutes after intercourse
Anything else?!
Thanks everyone.

Folic Acid! at LEAST 400-800 micograms (mcg) a day. It's good to get your body stocked up on it before TTC. You can read more about it and other important things to consider in my post "Considering your health while TTC? You should!"

Hi CHJH,
Wow, seems like your doing good so far!! :D And just wondering what you do right after you bd....do you prop your bum on a pillow so that your tilted up? They say that helps the little guys swim down to where they need to go!! :D Other than that...try and relax!! I know, I know...it's so darn hard. Have you ever thought of just taking a month off....not taking any temps or anything at all....it will help clear both your minds and stuff and may ultimately help in ttc.
Well, hope this helped and good luck to you!!

What about also taking Evening Primrose Oil from day 1 of AF up to OV, but not after OV, after OV, you should change to Flax seed oil. EPO creates more CM and also creates a more fertile environment for sperm to survive. I also am taking Green Tea, 1 cup a day. Google these three items, and you will find out more about they're use. This month is the first month I'm trying them including everything you mentioned above as well, except my husband and started b-ding about 3 days prior to my LH surge but it was just every other day until I was done ovualting. It takes 36 - 48 hours for a man's sperm to be at its best.....
Best of luck to you....
