First time, I charted and got pregnant the second month of charting. I didn't stop drinking alcohol or coffee. No special positions, no special lube, just good old-fashioned BDing.
The second time around, we were just kind of messing around with trying. The timing was kind of right and I jokingly suggested to DH that I probably got pregnant. I think some cocktails were involved- I don't know, we were on vacation.
If you have regular cycles and you're charting, it will probably happen for you soon so long as you're charting correctly.

On my first pg (ended in mc) I was taking BComplex and had started getting into exercising.
2nd pg I was getting back into exercising. I had been temping through both TTC journeys, too but I was doing that for like 8 months so I wouldn't say it was "different".

I was going to a fertility center, so the month we conceived we upped the dose of clomid from 50 mg to 100 mg and did an IUI.

no change really, and I really didn't think we'd timed it right to have a shot (I was out of town before and after the week we must have conceived). also, it was the only month we were trying where I DIDN'T stay lying down afterwards with my hips propped up--I went to the bathroom right away.

It took us a few months and I had just found out I had an inverted uterus. I'd read its best to lay on your tummy after instead of keeping your hips elevated. So I tried that. We also relaxed and just had fun
Other things we did that I think might have helped: Pre-Seed, I had a little bit of honey daily. I noticed that the honey helped with CM.

Had decided to stop thinking about it after almost 3 years. I was getting biweekly massages, seeing a chiropractor and following Paleo diet. We got pregnant on a night that I had two bottles of wine

It took us 5 months to conceive after I went off the pill. I really paid attention to CM the month we finally got a BFP.

Idk if it made a difference or not but the month we got our bfp (this month) we had used the sperm meets egg plan for bd'ing. It was our 8th cycle trying and it made me wonder if all of the other months we had just stopped bd'ing after O too soon. Who knows though, maybe this month was just when it was supposed to happen for us!

@CharityAnne: Thanks so much for posting this - i just downloaded the sperm meets the egg E-book after reading your post and I'm def going to try it this month! How many cycles were you trying before your BFP?

I never had much luck with having or finding(?) the EWCM. I found PreSeed to be nice. Not sure if that helped, but we used it. I also did find CM to be much more EW-like when I started taking EPO. Again, not sure it did the trick, but it didn't hurt!
