I'm trying the clear blue advanced opk's this month that monitor estrogen and LH. I'm hoping it works better for me. I also do the green tea for CM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-aids-have-you-triedused#post-1836459 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 08:46:22 +0000 alohaorchid 1836459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Opk's, preseed, vitamins, accupuncture, chinese herbs, fertilitea, green tea, charting, yoga, baby aspirin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-aids-have-you-triedused#post-1835643 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 17:11:47 +0000 mrsjyw 1835643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alphagam84: ttc / sperm friendly lubricant </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-aids-have-you-triedused#post-1835638 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 17:06:32 +0000 alphagam84 1835638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is preseed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-aids-have-you-triedused#post-1835612 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 16:48:20 +0000 cascademom 1835612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dolphin: Glad to hear!

I'm definitely going to drink more of it during my fertile period. Thanks for the tip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-aids-have-you-triedused#post-1834967 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 13:09:17 +0000 cascademom 1834967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: It helps to increase cervical mucus. I always seem to have more of it when I'm drinking green tea during my fertile period. For me, it provides another front of lubrication since we generally avoid outside stuff during the fertile period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-aids-have-you-triedused#post-1834836 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 12:39:47 +0000 Alivoo01 1834836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did OPKs, pre-natals, green teat, and pre-seed. It was nice to see when I O-ed, but I was stressing myself out with that so I quit with everything except for the green tea and got my BFP the following month! </p> <p>I have no idea when I O now since my cycles aren't regular now, so I think I'm just going to aim to DTD every other day for awhile. Going to pick up some green tea soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-aids-have-you-triedused#post-1834826 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 12:36:56 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1834826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We liked conceive plus a lot better than pre-seed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-aids-have-you-triedused#post-1834825 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 12:36:18 +0000 hellobeeboston 1834825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: @mrsjyw: thanks!!

It was a mess!</p> <p>The second month I bought pre-seed. It's the best lube I've ever used and we got our BFP!

I was going to acupuncture. I was using preseed or conceive plus. Sweetie and I were using menstrual cups post BD and/or when sex wasn't going to happen he gave me a "sample". I charted BBT, used the CBE Advanced opks. I was doing a fertility yoga series. And the circle and bloom guided meditations.</p> <p>And taking two prescription pain meds around ovulation and during menses so that I could mostly cope with the menstrual pain and keep TTC rather than giving up in misery and getting a new Mirena. Took 7 cycles, and I really hope this sticks, I don't wanna do all of that again anytime soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-aids-have-you-triedused#post-1834625 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 11:15:34 +0000 Freckles 1834625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-seed and OPKs.

Mucinex helps with CM? Also had some lying around, so I'm just trying it this cycle!
