I am pretty boring. I am still taking the prenatal vitamins because I figure it can't hurt. I bought pre-seed because I think our old stuff was not swimmer friendly  and I dug out the Clearblue fertility monitor that I bought 5 years ago.

This cycle I'm still using my CBEFM and opks. I'm also trying lemon water and Geritol, Preseed, folic acid, and I have Vitamin D but haven't started it yet (I'm still debating). I'm having DH try a men's multivitamin, extra Zinc, Selenium, and L-Arginine.

I am doing... well just the basics. I am taking prescription prenatals, extra folic acid, using OPK's around O time and that is it ladies. I'm tired of "trying" so this cycle is for fun!

I had this big ole list on CD1, but now it's been whittled down a little
Geritol
Extra B6? 12? Whatever it is for LP, I don't want to get up and check...
Extra folic acid
The fertility blend pills from Whole Foods
Green tea once a day
Raspberry leaf tea most days
160 mg soy CD 5-9
Pre' (but not Pre-seed)
OPKs
Temping (will start around CD 15 or so)
CBEFM
Hopefully BDing every day for about 5 days when it counts
I ditched the lemons, honey, and cinnamon. They were driving me crazy.

I am boring. Even if we are not pregnant this cycle (on 5DPO), next cycle I will be doing:
~Prenatals
~Folic Acid (with B6 and B12 in the same pill)
~OPK's from day 11
~BDing a few times in the fertile window
~Baby asprin, progesterone, and possibly a blood thinner after "O"
That is all. I feel like I am not going gung-ho for some reason. I did not like soy, so I am pretty sure I am not using it again. It worries me, for some reason. But hopefully we will either get a BFP this weekend...or at least the doc will figure out what he wants to do with me. I am sorta in limbo right now.

I'm currently taking prenatals, folic acid, and lemon water. My cycle is almost over and next month is the cycle we actually start TTC and I read that taking evening primrose oil from AF until O increases EWCM so I'll be taking that since I have it in the house. Since we are trying a boy sway, we will only be BDing on O day and the day after (well I have a high sex drive so I'll probably just have to use protection before that LOL, that's too many days!).

OK, so I started talking about this thread with my husband and basically saying something along the lines of what Shortcake just said to him. The I got a modified Monty Python Holy Grail line stuck in my head.
"Perhaps if they used a small wooden badger"
So, now I am picturing them sending in a small wooden badger to help with the TTC and it's making me laugh.
