Baby Making 101

Alright, so DH and I are on month 4 of trying to make a baby. I want to know the best advice you have, either from your own experience or possibly even the awful old wives tales you've been told, to get KTFU. :) What worked for you? We aren't to the point of being worried about it, but it's truly one of the only things on my mind these days so I wanted to see what you ladies had to say about it. Oh, and if your suggestion is, "Have lots of sex" I've got that one down, thanks... :)

Also, this board could use a little action... pun intended.

  • Get the ovulation tests! If you see a smiley, screw! That's all I got ;) also, don't have sex every day.  I've heard every three days is ideal, and is what we did.

  • I charted my temps and used sperm friendly lubricant (pre seed). With M it took me 6 months to get pregnant and this last time (eventhough I miscarried) it took me 3 months. Also don't have sex everyday, but every other or every 2 days. I say just

  • Chart, use opk's. H knows when I'm in my fertile window because I bug him about sex more often. Last night he said, "You only want my semen." He was kidding, of course, and he is happy to oblige my whims whenever. But it was still funny.

  • My advice, relax!  I know that is easier said than done but it is what worked for me.  A nice vacation (weekend away) might help a bit.  When I was consumed by the thought of getting KTFU I was always upset when AF showed. That would carry
