Tell me your tips.....
....on getting pregnant!
Did you lie with your legs above your head afterwards?
Is it important not to bathe/shower for a period of time afterwards?
What should I be doing to make sure the sperm is getting to where it needs to be?!!

I had a lot of trouble Lou. I used to jump right up after and go clean up. One thing I started doing was rolling on to my side and just relaxing for a bit. Because Mr. Lil was a runner his sperm were not so just letting gravity and nature have a few minutes may have helped contribute to me getting knocked up.

Do it on the 13th of 14th day after the first day your period starts.
I did every tip imaginable.....the time I can't remember what we did, I got pregnant.

I've been following tips on when to do it, and not moving around too much afterwards...but I've also tried not to stress too much about it either (with mixed results!) I'm just trying all the right things at the beginning, rather than just assuming it'll happen without making a concerted effort and then being worried when I'm still not preggers in a year's time.
It's funny how you know all about the birds and bees until it suddenly becomes relevant to you, and then you realise that you have no idea about the actual mechanics of it! For example, I learned today that my egg will only stay viable for a maximum of 24 hours after it is released before it dissolves, whereas his sperm can live in me for about 4 days! No wonder timing is so crucial!

You should be making sure you are consuming enough folic acid which helps develop the baby's brain and Mr. Lil was told orange juice could help the swimmers do their job.

Like Lil, I was a "side roller." And for the week before and up to ovulation, every other day--in some cases, EVERY day reduces the quality/quantity of the sperm.
I found in my last pregnancy that the electronic fertility monitors were 2350982395820% better than the "regular" kind, if you're interested in that kind of thing. I also charted basal body temperatures for months to get a sense of my "pattern."

Been taking a vitamin and folic acid supplement especially designed for conception/pregnancy/breast feeding since November Lil.
And I've just found out about vit C too...thankfully Fussy loves OJ!

LMFAO!
But Fussy keeps telling me I won't get pregnant until the sperm is allowed to get past the tonsils!
Thanks honey.....to be honest I have no idea what's going on right now....if my period is late because my cycles are still setlling down after the pill, I have no idea when I might have ovulated this month, so we probably weren't even doing it at the right time!
Nevermind, time will tell.

Well....whatever it was I did, seems to have done the trick.
As I said on the other thread, VERY early days, but the test was positive!
I'm going to do another one first thing in the morning just to be sure.
