And in the end it was good old ivf that did the trick. Oh and I spent hundreds on acupuncture </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-youve-tried-in-the-name-of-ttc#post-1281309 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 02:49:36 +0000 mrskoloa 1281309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chibee: I temp vaginally, too.

Or maybe paying $10 to an internet psychic? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-youve-tried-in-the-name-of-ttc#post-1274406 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 15:49:40 +0000 shopaholic 1274406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Laid on my back with my legs up for over an hour after DTD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-youve-tried-in-the-name-of-ttc#post-1274399 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 15:47:55 +0000 pui 1274399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far I haven't done anything that "crazy"... but honestly I'd try almost anything if I thought it would help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craziest-thing-youve-tried-in-the-name-of-ttc#post-1272960 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 04:06:09 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1272960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a turkey baster.
