What is your TTC routine?

[filiadeluna]

Do you have a "routine" every cycle?  If so, can you share with us?  I just started to officially TTC #2, and it took 9 months to TTC #1 (didn't happen until I gave up the routine though LOL).  Here is what I've decided to do this time:

Take:

1600mg Maca daily to help regulate/shorten my cycles (they tend to be as long as 35+ days otherwise)

prenatal vitamin

50mg B-6

Do:

BBT every morning (*attempt* to at least since I'm nursing and cosleeping with my 2-year-old)

cheapie OPKs until I get a "surge" and then ALSO use Clearblue Easy digital OPKs

check CM & CP daily & track that as well as other "cycle symptoms"

try to DTD at least every other day for a week on either side of ovulation if possible (like the "Sperm Meets Egg Plan")

Any other suggestions?  What do YOU do/plan on doing?  What seems to help a lot?

We don't really have a 'plan' per se, we were originally trying to DTD every other day, but our schedules are so busy it's been closer to every 3 to 4 days.  I'm taking my vitamins and trying to drink more water....if I don't get a BFP this cycle I will start taking Vitex next cycle.  I'm trying not to obsess or stress about it too much and just let it happen....although I'm totally obsessing about my chart right now, lol

Hi,

With my last pregnancy I got pregnant with the advise of an RE.  Usually I would do the BD EOD until ovulation and then everyday for 3 days after ovulation. But his method worked so here it is:

What I did:

Used the CB digital ovulation test ( the one's with the smiley face)

BD'ed the first day of the first smiley and the next day and that's it.

But he made me sure that Dh's sperm wasnt older than 5 days and younger than 3 days ( I hope that makes sense)

This got me pregnant that month, unfortunately I had a miscarriage, so this cycle is the first cycle after my m/c. So Im really hoping it's going to work this cycle.
