We got our BFP on our second attempt. The first attempt I tried 0+12 with lime and did not get pregnant. Since I am almost 36, I decided to go for a cutoff the second time around. My CM remained at 4.5 most of the time. DH was around 8. No douche this attempt. Used Replens every other day from AF to O. Missionary position with no big O. Took Prenatal with no Potassium, Folic Acid, Calcium/Mag combo, Cranberry ,Vitamin D. Reduced sodium and potassium. I took acidophilus each morning-powder form. I also took baby aspirin until attempt and I took a Sudafed the night before. Drank an incredible amount of Crystal Light and stuck to the IG girl diet. I kept mostly on the diet in between the last attempt, but I got sloppy this time and stopped at about 5DPO. No caffeine for me. Dh had one cup coffee per day. DH stayed away from bananas and took licorice root and cranberry.
Timing wise.. a bit hard to tell. We DTD at 6am and I had a faint + on my OPK by noon and tested real + at 7pm that evening. Next morning it was – and previous evening it was -. Even after 6 months of tracking, I had a hard time pinpointing my O. I think I was 0 to -2 with my cutoff (hoping for the latter.) Suspected O date was 7/8 or 7/9. Husband abstained for 10 days and we DTD once.
Forget which moon, but it was the wrong one for TTC. I always O’d during the “wrong moon.” We both took plenty of showers. DH took hot one before we DTD.
We have 1 little boy. No jump and Dump. Husband wears boxer briefs.
I placed little girl outfit under bed with wooden spoon.
I am very much hoping that my diet and PH helped if my timing was off.
Anyone have any thoughts?
