I have Charted/Tempted, OPK's, Preseed, CM, Checked Cervix once (Couldn't believe I might be O'ing) Baby Aspirin, Folic Acid, & Prenatal's. I think that is all...

I temp/chart, OPK, CM, Pre-Seed, Prenatals, Baby Aspirin, Evening Primrose Oil and plan on using Robitussin this evening before BDing. I thought about trying grapefruit juice but I just hate it....not that desperate yet. And I've never gotten the hang of checking my cervix...just not good at it...can't find the darn thing half the time.  Oh, and we are BDing every other day this time. We usually do it every day around O time but the only time I got a BFP was when we did it every other day. So we'll see if it works...

I have charted, used OPK's and actually didn't BD as much. I think we're going to go to every other day next cycle...
Also as far as what I've taken internally... Rainbow Light prenatals, B-Complex, 1000mg fish oil other than that nothing.
I have had to take my FM pain meds more (rather the way I'm supposed to instead of the min.) My GP put me on fluid pills last month for bp, then switched it to a beta-blocker that is safe to take while pg *jic*
I bought baby asprin today! So today is day 1 for that... I figured it cannot hurt and it doesn't interact with my meds.
I love it when you write big  I can see it! My blind *** doesn't wear my glasses like I should hahahaha! Ok... TTC tuesday answers....

Well, first & foremost we're going to increase our BD-ing.... we've been really slack in that area, mostly because I've been really scared that I'll end up with another ectopic...(poor hubby, I know).
I'm going for an HSG next monday to check for blockage in my tubes. If that goes well, then I'm also going to use OPK's for the first time ever. I honestly have no idea when I ovulate (could be early in my cycle or really late) So I'm figuring on starting with a 20 day pack to get a good range....
I'm just going to start with that & see what happens!

Well, this cycle I took Geritol Complete, my high-dose folic acid, B-complex vitamin, Mucinex, and drank grapefruit juice (I hate it, but it worked!!!). We also used pre-seed, and I use OPK's and chart temp and CM. Once I move on to the nexty cycle, I plan on doing the same thing except using FertilAid instead of Geritol Complete. Anyone ever try FertilAid? I got some from another JM mommy.

Well for now just temping. I still haven't made up my mind whether we will sit out this next cycle or actively try. I am thinking as soon as soon as I actually m/c I will just ntnp until AF shows and then throw in all the good stuff from there. I am temping for now though. I keep hoping for a huge temp drop that'll signal something actually happening here.

Checking CM, stopped my allergy medicine so I would get CM, and dtd lots during the peak CM time.
Next month we will be charting and doing the every other day thing to see if that works better.

not sure what we're doing this cycle. We're just starting medical assistance this cycle. I have an ultrasound today... and depending on what we see, i might be starting clomid. I plan on using preseed this cycle though, i havn't been recently, but i remember that i got pregnant while using it.
