I hate to admit it, but I've used pH strips.
-
This: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moxibustion
Per my acupuncturist's recommendation. It was pretty much the final straw of "all out" TTC.
-
@spaniellove: What do pH strips do when ttc?
-
Pre-seed and Soft cups.
-
@mrs. 64: Supposedly they tell you if your CM is too acidic and killing off the sperm before they get to do their job.
-
Pineapple during tww... Conceived 3 times and never after eating pineapple lol
-
@Mrs.Someone: yup, did that.
@Honeydew: those too!
@spaniellove: I read that a baking soda douche could help with acidity. Didn't do it, but thought about it!I check CM by checking with a mirror. I have spent a lot of time looking at my nether region.
-
Spazing out when dh wouldn't put out (after working 24hrs straight during o).
-
@Happygal: I once tried adding a little bit of baking soda with preseed. It sounds insane but that was the cycle that worked, so...
-
@Ash: ditto. Poor guys.
-
@spaniellove: did the pH strip show things were off? Now you've got me curious!
Speaking of preseed, I read about using actual eggwhites instead-more natural, mimics your own body... I wish HB had a red faced, embarrassed emoticon that I could use here.....
-
Royal jelly and pineapple core. Neither worked!!!
-
Cutting out carbs. To me, that is INSANITY.
-
I bought a turkey baster. I never used it. Lol.
-
So far I haven't done anything that "crazy"... but honestly I'd try almost anything if I thought it would help.
-
Laid on my back with my legs up for over an hour after DTD!
-
Haha does IUI/IVF count?
The craziest is probably secret preseed (without telling DH) because I thought he would think I was crazy. Or maybe paying $10 to an internet psychic?
-
I take vaginal temps for charting bc mouth temps were literally all over the place by 2 degrees almost - really, in my whole life, never thought i'd be sticking a thermometer up there voluntarily.
-
@chibee: I temp vaginally, too. I actually like it better... there's no guessing about whether it's in far enough, or what to do if I accidentally get air inside my mouth, etc.
-
I can't even count all the things I did- legs in the air, preseed, pineapple, pineapple pills, baby aspirin. And in the end it was good old ivf that did the trick. Oh and I spent hundreds on acupuncture
-
I paid for DH to come along with me on a business trip because it was taking place during prime TTC days. He figured out my motivation by day two of the trip.
