I am gearing up to begin TTC the end of September. I was just looking for tips and advice on natural ways of conceiving faster... Teas, exercises, herbs, positions, timing??? Has anyone had success with fertility/ovulation predictor kits???
I have 1 son already he will be 4 soon. He was born Via emergency c-section... I am planning a VBAC. I have lost about 15 lbs...And begun working with a nutritionist to get my borderline glucose levels lower...(border line type 2 diabetic)...So I am not eating a lot of refined carbs or refined sugars! I have not had soda or caffeine (except naturally occurring caffeine) in over a month and a half! I am avoiding high fructose corn syrup, and Trans fat like the plague. And walking! My nutritionist is also a midwife...and has assured me that the reason I had my last cesarean should not be a problem for future births. I have also done extensive research into VBAC, as well as labor and birth as I am now studying to be a doula… (So please no comments about my choice of birth!) I have also been charting my BBT's for a few months and plan to continue to do so through conception, though it has been difficult to pin point ovulation!
Just looking for some tips, hints or advice!? Thanks

I have an ovulation calendar and that's really all I needed. I used it with my first and got pregnant in less than 5 months, then I used it with my current pregnancy. We talked about it and decided to get pregnant, it took a month. I don't think it was sheer luck, we followed what the calendar said and sure enough... it was very accurate. Other than that, I did nothing else. I could pass the calendar over to you if you'd like.. just let me know :o)

Here's another option that I read about on a fertility site. You may want to check it out since you are looking at ovulation calculators.
"An ovulation calculator is any method used to determine or predict when ovulation will occur. By charting physical symptoms, ovulation can be calculated. Over-the-counter ovulation prediction kits are available and these can detect hormone surges in the urine stream, hormones that are released before ovulation occurs. However, sometimes paying attention to other factors—like cervical fluid—is a more accurate predictor of ovulation."

I use OPK's and they have been really helpful. I also started tracking my temperature this month, and it matched up perfectly with my posiitve ovulation test (temp went up the day after the positve). I use www.fertilityfriend.com to keep track of both. You can see sample charts from other users. Good luck.
