going all out this cycle.

[joysiloo]

I'm tired of bfns. In addition to my usual repetoire of opks, clomid and metformin, this month I'm adding in preseed and softcups. Anyone else going all out this month?

[mysecrets]

I'm taking herbal supplements, trying green tea, mucinex i tried before and I'm alway using opk's other than that, that about it. I'm pretty much tried what I'm able to do at this point. I going to give myself until September 2009 if nothing happens I think I'm going to give up completely.

LOL I am totally NOT going all out. After 14 months of temping, and OPKs, and clomid, femara, injectables, IUI's, and progesterone, I am taking the au naturale approach. No OPK's, a little temping just until I get my spike, no lying in bed with my hips raised...NADA!!

I figure that when I do everything right, I don't get squat, so I am going to try doing everything wrong! :ROFL:

I think that sounds like a great plan though! I've never tried the softcups. Good luck! I hope all this extra effort results in a blazing BFP!! :)

[Graceless]

I know a couple people that have had great success with the softcups. :D

Last cycle was a complete relaxed "Just let it happen" cycle, no temps and only BDing when we felt like it. I know I tend to over-obsess and I was trying *not* to since I have other things to worry about right now (...the wedding. :roll:) Plus it was our first TTC cycle, and absolutely the earliest I could get pregnant with the wedding coming up, and now that I think about it was still almost too early (I would have been 11 weeks at the wedding) so actually I am happy to be here in June. :D Plus I obviously wasn't expecting much with our BD timing.

This cycle I think we are going to try a little harder. I plan to temp. again, as well as chart CM and CP. I don't plan on doing supplements or any OPKs or devices though. I'm going to focus on just really knowing my cycle as well as I can. We are going to try to time our BD better, but we probably won't have a marathon.

Just to throw in another twist - if I don't get preggy this cycle I will be back on BCPs for a month.

How come?

[BLP]

I am going to continue to use opk's. I have some preseed that I ordered for last cycle but didn't get to use. Maybe I should get some of those softcups.

I'm going all out!

The 1st 6 cycles, we only used OPKs....then I got my BFP. (lost on 6/22/07)

This time...oh boy, let me tell you, we're gonna (heehee I mean I'm gonna) try mucinex, vit B6 and green tea.

Hope it works

I was just going to ask this.

Good Luck Joy!!

I've been thinking of getting soft cups too. They are a little rubber cup that fits over the cervix, so in theory you bd then put in the cup and it holds the sperm up at the cervix giving them a boost.

This is my 4th month TTC, and i'm temping,charting cm and cp, and i'm using softcups. My cycles are really long, so id even know if i'm Oing or not :(
I'm so tired of BFN's, this month if refuse to get a BFN. Hopefully this is gonna be all of our month!!!

Chrissie have you ever try Clomid? If not I think you should give it a try it could help you O.

Great idea Kim!!!! My sister wasn't even trying to get preg. and has 2 DD, I've actually been trying, opk, couting CD, some temping and I have no BFP to show for it.
