Besides opks and charting, what other things do you do to help you conceive?

I buy preseed and Instead soft cups every month. I have also started taking Robitussin. I keep forgetting to take it though. And I try to bd a lot. LOL.

I tried taking Mucinex early on this cycle but started it too early because I didnt have any idea of when I would O. Anyway, I ended up stopping it so that I wasnt taking it all month.

Anyway if this cycle doesn't work out, I think on top of charting temps I want to try Soy Isoflavones and see if it helps me O a little sooner to avoid a 40+ or 50+ day cycle. I havent been Oing I dont think up until this one and then this time it was not until CD37. Also I'll stick to the OPK's this time and not give up on them (again I started them too early in the cycle and gave up and didnt buy more). Lastly I'll get some preseed because I figure it just can't hurt, I don't seem to get much EWCM. This cycle was the first time I have ever personally seen it! I got one glob and was over the moon.. lol

Any other suggestions? I'm more than open to trying new things!

I've been trying the different vitamins and whatnot... B6 because my LP was shorter than I'd like, just started EPO to help alleviate the PMS symptoms that I seem to have ALL month which so far this cycle I'm in the clear

And just looked into starting the Maca root to maybe help regulate my cycle... and might see if DH will be willing to take it since it's supposed to help their fertility and libido as well! Wouldn't that be nice if his libido could match mine!!!!

This month I started taking evening primrose oil and drinking at least 2 cups of green tea a day. Only a couple more days and I can stop both of them until next cycle. I took guaifenesin (sp?) for a cycle right after I m/c but didn't take it again. Next cycle I'm going to do guaifenesin and green tea and the cycle after that I'm going back to evening primrose oil and green tea. This cycle I'm also paying attention to when and if I get ewcm.

I take 100 mg of B6 every day because I've had short LP's in the past. I've been taking prenatal's, we sometimes use Preseed. We hadn't used it the past 2 cycles because I had so much ewcm, but we've started using it again this cycle. I try to time everything properly too.

Other than that... there's not much else I'm doing.
