Ok girls well you probably saw I got a BFP today so I wanted to tell you what I did.

I came off the pill Dec 13th 2007, up until about a month ago I was just using the OPK and bd'ing on m fertile day which was day 16-18. I bought a book 'the fertility diet' which gave me tips on supplement to take. Its really hard to continuously make sure your eating the right things, I always start on the right road and forget a week or s later. Same with vitamins so I bought a pill pot 'mon, tues, wed ' so that I could put all my pills in it on a sunday and not forget to take them. The pills I have been taking are;

1) Pregnacare
2) A, C, E and Zinc combination from Holland and Barrett
3) Blue green algae
4) Bee pollen
5) Evening Primrose oil up to ovulation
6) Vitamin B6

I bought a BBT but it was my first month so cant say it helped much except i did notice my temps were high up to testing

I made sure we bd'd a lot the weekend running up to ov (MON) and actually didnt bd at all after I got a plus on the ov stick as o/h was completely drained so I really hoped for the best. I tried this different tactic as before id been bd'ing a lot as soon as id got my smiley face which i think was to late.

I wore orange knickers for 5 days around ov

I bought a fertility spell at the beginning of the month,

I bought a cbfm which I was due to start using when af arrives so possibly as its sods law as soon as I spend some money it happens - but I am very pleased.

I also booked a holiday which now I cant go on for next June!

Finally I started a 2ww thread on BE which I think was the real change!

I cant say I really got any more symptoms than I usually get when I symptom spot so its so hard to know when something is different but here goes;

1) The first thing I noticed was my boobs - very sore and fuller and perky and o/h says they are weighty/heavy
2) When I went for my usual curry Chkn Tikka Masala I asked them to make it hotter as I fancies something spicy
3) Had a little indigestion yesterday morning which I never get
4) Had a little constipation
5) Been feeling hot and very thirsty and really fancied fruit juices
6) Felt sick last night but put it down to my chilli not digesting too well

I am so please its happened as even Wed I got a BFN and I didnt get implantation so was sure we hadnt done it. It just shows that early bird serial testers do not need to worry coz it will show when it wants too

Thanks for all your support, kind word and tips girls.. i am sure that being on this site has made it happen for us.

Love and sprinkles of baby dust to you all

Was the blue/green algae to make you more alkaline? I've been taking green phion this month for that reason and its so disgusting and smells like a pond-but if it might help I'll continue!!
I'm a bit down today as I was donated to last night and the night before and expected to ov by this morning( I get pains) and haven't yet so thought we'd gone too early but you've given me hope now.
Hope you have a smashing pregnancy!!

What does evening prmirose to ov do for you?

Hi Claire EPO is supposed to make you wet if you take it up to the day you ov which helps the swimmers. You are not meant to take it after ov though until the end of your cycle

Hjanea I think blue green algae is an antioxidant which is good for fertility, it was in my book so I got some, blue capsuels but no smell

Hi hun thanks for the imform is good to know,learnt alot from it.

GeorgieD - was it Selenium with ACE and Zinc as I have been looking for a similar one for ages and can't find any without Selenium in.

Hi yes it was its in a green packet and my book says selenium was ok too

Thanks. I am already taking everything else. Hubby is taking Vit C, Zinc and Selenium cus apparently that helps the swimmers!! Did you use Pregnacare Conception or just Pregnacare? We are 5th Month TTC now and my PMA is starting to fade a little! Just got a CBFM though so we'll see what happens!!
