LOL</p> <p>We've only been trying for a month so far, but we're temping. We used temping to prevent pregnancy, so it just made sense to start doing it that way. I'll probably add OPKs if we still come up empty this month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-4191 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 14:21:16 +0000 ParkerHaus 4191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We charted (Sympto-thermal method- so temp, CM, and CP) for 1.5-2 years before starting to TTC- We charted to avoid pregnancy. I wanted to stop charting for a few monthes when we started to TTC, but my husband insisted we continue charting. "its not like we can unlearn what we know" was his rational. Our first cycle was just charting, this past cycle I added OPKs to the mix. So far so good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3670 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:32:36 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 3670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not trying, not preventing.<br /> and ... not thinking it would work with only 2 weeks of no pills (BC) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3652 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:18:18 +0000 TheFixIts 3652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, charting and OPKs to confirm ovulation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3542 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 16:12:33 +0000 Jody216 3542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with the see what happens plan, moved on to charting/temping, then clomid &amp; TI, Follistim injects &amp; TI, and now injects and IUI. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3541 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 15:57:57 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 3541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it "getting drunk and not using BC" : )</p> <p>I currently chart temps. I'm pretty much laying off of anything else.</p> <p>Past things: CBFM, HSG (did result in pg that cycle - although it's not a "technique"), legs in air, green tea... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3526 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 13:58:04 +0000 yourekindapretty 3526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@habesbabe - LOL. </p> <p>its month 2 that we're really trying. the first month we just watched the calendar checked my cervix (though i gotta admit i had no idea what i was feeling for) and just did it as much as we could. I was incredibly disappointed when I got my period (which ironically came 40 days - my longest ever wait- after my last period). this month we used cheap ovulation tests to time our sexy time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3457 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 01:33:54 +0000 Mrs McK 3457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charting, OPKs, and the month we got pregnant, Preseed. I got pregnant in month 10 and had a miscarriage, but we're going to keep trying through the end of the year before we make an IF appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3438 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 22:36:15 +0000 Sha 3438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have super irregular cycles so after going off the pill and having several months with no period, I took a course of provera to bring on a period. I also did acupunture/Chinese herbs/minor diet adjustments for about a month. We were just getting mentally prepared to move on to Clomid when all of a sudden I turned up preggo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3436 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 22:33:16 +0000 HabesBabe 3436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, we're just boning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3401 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 20:26:04 +0000 ohapostrophe 3401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cheap OPKs... although we got pregnant on the 2nd month of trying so we probably could have done without. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3393 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 19:56:50 +0000 Pepper 3393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Temping/Charting... even though I slack on this all the time now.<br /> Using OPKs and BDing around O time.<br /> Not trying/not preventing</p> <p>I got pregnant the first time with just temping/charting. We're trying with OPKs now, after I had an early MC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3391 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 19:48:47 +0000 tessabella76 3391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've just tried charting/temping. I think if it doesn't happen this cycle, I'll look into getting some OPK's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3349 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:54:22 +0000 leelee 3349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been charting and its been really helpful in helping me pinpoint my O date. I've also been using CBE Digital Ovulation Tests and love em! I know the Wondfo OPKs are much cheaper however I would probably drive myself crazy trying to figure out if it was a + or not by looking at the lines. You can't really make a mistake with digital ones, you either get a happy face (+) or don't (-). I buy them on Amazon so its much cheaper than buying it in stores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3270 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 14:12:03 +0000 ALittleP 3270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've just done good old fashioned timed intercourse, the Sperm Meets Egg Plan, two medicated IUIs. The successful one was just timed intercourse but that ended in a miscarriage. We've yet to get pregnant again :(</p> <p>We're tentatively scheduled for IVF in December. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3249 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 13:20:28 +0000 MaisyMay 3249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used charting to avoid pregnancy for 18 months, and then the first month we TTC, we got it. Now that we are TTC post MC, we're hoping that charting helps us be successful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3246 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 13:08:05 +0000 PBandBaseball 3246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far just temping. We'll do that for a few cycles and see what happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3244 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 13:06:28 +0000 tequiero21 3244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the one time we got pregnant naturally was during ovulation time after an hsg. </p> <p>tried temping/opks/fms - but none worked for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3242 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 13:03:38 +0000 mediagirl 3242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Temping and opk's. Honestly, the cheap opk's I bought weren't worth it. They never told me I was ovulating and they never told me I was pregnant (two different types of sticks). I also charted in Fertility Friend and that helped me narrow down when I "should" ovulate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ttc-methods-have-you-tried#post-3233 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 12:12:08 +0000 Mrs. Bee 3233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since we've had 4 pregnancies, we've tried:</p> <p>- not trying, not preventing<br /> - using the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor<br /> - Clomid + IUI<br /> - getting drunk and not using birth control (aka completely unplanned)<br /> - doing the baby dance around ovulation time</p> <p>What TTC methods have you tried, and which ones were successful? For us, all the above methods were successful except for the Clearblue Fertility Monitor, but the monitor let me know that I wasn't ovulating at all. </p>
