Strange considering we'd only tried one cycle at that point.</p> <p>From CD1 to my first +OPK, I took 1500mg of Evening Primrose Oil orally in addition to B6. I finally got prime CM for BD.</p> <p>Once I got the LH surge, I switched to Flaxseed Oil since it's advised not to take EPO after OV when TTC. We got a BFP on CD28 of our third cycle TTC (first cycle with EPO).</p> <p>We are now on cycle 2 of TTC with #2 and I've begun taking EPO in a lower dose in addition to B6. I'm sure if I kicked my heavy caffeine habit, I'd be better off, but my sleepless 9mo has determined otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-tried-when-ttc#post-2379323 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 13:23:14 +0000 mrsrain 2379323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maca root (capsules) helped to regulate my irregular/long cycle! We also used preseed, and I charted my cycle (but I did that for years before actively ttc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-tried-when-ttc#post-2379285 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 11:43:44 +0000 Keybee 2379285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cutting back on sugar and exercising more </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-tried-when-ttc#post-2379192 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 07:24:56 +0000 Truth Bombs 2379192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing we used to "help" TTC #1 was preseed. #2 was unplanned so we didn't use anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-tried-when-ttc#post-2379166 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 03:12:16 +0000 hellobeeboston 2379166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my first I tried soy isoflavones. It was supposed to be like an herbal Clomid. Took it when I got my period. I doubt it did anything. I used it for 3 months, and did happen to get pregnant that 3rd month (after trying for about 6 months prior), but I think it had to work for other reasons. Who knows! Didn't use for pregnancy 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-tried-when-ttc#post-2379162 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 01:41:00 +0000 mrschickpea 2379162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took vitamin d and b12 because I was low/deficient and it can affect fertility in some cases. I took b complex just after O to lengthen LP at the beginning but it can mess with your cycles. CoQ10 is also a good one for TTC! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-tried-when-ttc#post-2379161 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 01:34:39 +0000 littleblessings 2379161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>like the title says: what have you tried when TTC? I've heard of b complex. I want to know what else there is. </p>
