What we did to get pregnant in the first cycle: i see a lot of you post in here and ask questions about how to get pregnant fast or how to find out when the best time is to try for pregnancy. My fiancée and I (i’m the dad) received a positive pregnancy test after our first cycle (after not trying for 1 year) we spent the last year researching ways to better our chances of pregnancy and this is what we did: step 1: download the PreMom & Pregmate apps to help track your period. these apps are good at predicting when you will ovulate. the longer you track your periods, the better. -you simply cannot just ask someone when you’ll ovulate and expect them to give you the right answer. it depends on how long your cycle is and can vary monthly. this is why it is crucial to test LH step 2: purchase LH testing strips. test twice a day starting after the end of your period. the LH strips test urine and will help you determine when you will ovulate. you can also take a picture of them inside the app and track your progress leading up to ovulation. - we purchased the Pregmate Ovulation strips from Amazon step 3: purchase and start taking prenatals everyday ASAP, even if you aren’t trying right away. -We bought the “Eu Natural Healthy Conception for Her” on Amazon. take it twice daily (these will help regulate your period, if needed, and help your body get ready for pregnancy) they have some for men too if you would like your partner to take them as well. (regardless of where you get your sperm: donor, partner, etc. it’s important to make sure the sperm is heathy and fertile) Kayla’s period started 01/04/2024 and ended 01/08/2024. One app estimated ovulation on 01/18/24 while the other one estimated 01/20/2024. Using these dates, we used NI (natural insemination) on 01/16, 01/18 & 01/19 to make sure we’d hit either ovulation day. Kayla took the prenatals daily as well as Mucinex Extra Strength (daily the week of ovulation) to help thin the mucus inside the vagina to help the sperm swim. after doing the LH strips, she was actually going to ovulate on 01/18/24. so we had perfect timing with insemination right before and after her ovulation. - you will ovulate 12-24hrs after you receive a positive LH test which means the test line is equal or darker than the control line. this is why it is crucial to test urine atleast twice a day so you don’t miss your most fertile window. - your most fertile window is roughly 3 days prior to ovulation until 1 day after ovulation after sex, kayla laid down for atleast 20minutes to try and minimize the amount of sperm that comes out. we also used PreSeed for Lube - it is best to orgasm after insemination to help the sperm swim up, but if you don’t, doing kegels are also beneficial she started feeling symptoms around 5/6dpo. her first positive test was 01/29/24 i am not a doctor or professional, these are all my opinion and what worked for us. i hope this helps any of you have questions or who don’t know where to start. baby dust to all ❤️
