TTC, what advice would you give?

Question

for those TTC or who have successfully conceived, what's the first piece of advice you'd give to anyone who is TTC?
mine would be not to trust apps to predict ovulation and use OPKs. I used 3 apps and recently started using OPKs and not one correctly predicts my ovulation.
what would your advice be?

Answer

Don't worry too much about pregnancy symptoms or you will drive yourself crazy! 
Most pregnancy symptoms are also PMS symptoms as well.

Answer

Opks and bbt tracking. EOD sex during fertile week for healthiest sperm. Don't use non sperm friendly lube during FW.

Answer

Don't get consumed with TTC. Enjoy it! It will happen when it happens.
I always took pregnancy tests with the thought of them being negative, saves disappointment if it is and it's just absolutely amazing when it's a positive!

Answer

1. After your period ends have sex every other day, every day in your fertile window as estimated by GLOW
2. Start using OPKs around CD 10/11 (clearblue digital with smiley or no smiley) and make sure to BD for a few days after you get your positive OPK
3. take prenatal vitamins for 3-6 months before TTC (won't make you more fertile, but will prepare your body when you do get pregnant)
4. Do not use any lubes when having intercourse, preseed is OK but just know that the research out on it being sperm friendly was done by the preseed company so may be biased
5. Keep your self very busy during the 2ww as not to drive yourself crazy 
6. Eat a well balanced diet, stay away from sugary, over processed foods 
7. Relax! Stress can actually cause you to not get pregnant!
