Craziest advice - to use egg white (which should act like cm)
Craziest thing to get BFP - mmmm Having a lap (I think) or staying with my legs against the wall for a whole hour praying like the the end of the world was happening that night lol

I also heard to use real egg whites as lube. GROSS

I don't know what I've done that is really crazy...I guess laying in bed with my legs up after BDing and reading a book. Or maybe dressing in a fishnet bodysuit

THIS exactly!!! I am about to have cards printed out that say "my infertility issues will not magically disappear if we quite trying....thanks anyway" so I can just hand them out as needed.

What is the craziest thing you have tried to get that BFP? Made DH fly home in the middle a business trip to BD (he had to turn around and fly right back)

I think we have a winner for the craziest and an amazing husband! This is making me cry here at work thinking about how amazing it is that he was willing to do that.

Nothing crazy here, but we're in early days.

"If you stop trying then it will happen."

Laying in bed too afraid to get up and praying for the sperm to get to the eggie.

As far as craziest thing I've heard - well, we hadn't told anyone that we were trying until a couple days ago when DH told his family so we haven't gotten any crazy advice yet.

What is the craziest advice you've heard about TTCing? This has nothing to do with conception, but I think all of the POAS addicts are insane masochists that like to torture themselves needlessly. I don't hold it against you though. I still like you.

What is the craziest thing you have tried to get that BFP? I don't recall doing anything crazy. I have moments of crazy, but TTC is not an area that makes me lose it. I supposed getting obsessed over details would be the worst thing that I did.

Craziest advice? I'm going to have to go with the egg whites thing too...not to mention I'm deathly allergic to eggs!!! I'm' going to go ahead and NOT try this!

Craziest thing to get a BFP? hmm, I've only tried to get pregnant 3 times so...ask me again in a couple of months!

Craziest advice -- douching with vinegar and baking soda. I'm fairly certain it would bubble up like one of those kid volcano sets.

Craziest thing(s) done -- using avocado oil instead of lube (it makes everything green and icky), using a turkey baster to force semen inside when I had huge ovaries and couldn't BD but didn't want to waste an egg, burning orange candles and rubbing bergamot oil all over me (apparently they both increase fertility)
