Pregnancy Info HOME

Well I'm not pregnant yet, but DH and I are going to start trying this summer. I've been doing a lot of research recently to find out how to increase our chances of multiples and here's what I've gathered so far.
(I posted this to another question earlier this week, so I'll just copy and paste that here)

--- Take 50-100 mg of Clomid on CD 3-7
* Taking early in cycle (1-5 or 2-6) produces more eggs (higher chance of twins) but possibly not mature (leading to m/c)
* Taking late in cycle (5-9) produces less, more mature eggs thus decreasing chances of m/c
* CD 3-7 should give best of both
--- Take Mucinex 600mg from CD 6 to end of O (NOT 100% SURE WHEN TO TAKE IT YET) This is to prevent your CM from drying as that is a side effect of Clomid
--- Take baby asprin from O to BFP/BFN (AGAIN NOT SURE ABOUT EXACT DAYS TO TAKE) It will thin your blood slightly and improve circulation to the uterus and hopefully help with implantation. Do not take after you get your BFP.
--- Use Progesterone suppositories from 3 dpo to BFN or continue to 10-12 wks pg if BFP. I have a history of m/c and clomid is sometimes known to thin the lining of your uterus making it easier to m/c. I don't know if this has a negative effect on someone who doesn't need it, so do your research. I'm getting mine at mexmeds4you.com (same place I'll order my clomid)
* Take one AM and one PM
* Start with 100mg (up to 200mg if needed)
* Lay down an 30 mins to and hour after insertion as they can leak out
* Can cause a delayed period (+ 3-4 days)
* Can cause heavier, more painful periods
--- Use Preseed during BD (I recently read it increases your chances for a boy because it changes your PH but I'm not sure I believe that one)
--- Drink milk/eat dairy. Some say there's a link and it couldn't hurt anyway since you will most likely be healthier.
--- - Take B vitamin Folic Acid supplements (in addition to Prenatals I believe. Not sure about dosage)
--- Take Evening Primrose oil (stop after Oing as it can lead to m/c. Again, not sure about dosage)
--- Drink Red Raspberry Leaf tea *The sooner you start the better. I'm not sure on when to drink yet...I think everyday? early-pregnancy-tests.com sells a fertility tea that contains Red Raspberry Leaf along with many other herbs that are beneficial when ttc
--- AF to O: Take baths in Epsom salt (not sure why - I think the magnesium you absorb through your skin from the bath helps with implantation and m/c prevention - but I read it on one of the forums and I take Epsom salt baths anyway to relax. Walmart carries some with the bubble bath that has Eucalyptus and Spearmint Oil and it's heavenly!)
--- Try early-pregnancy-tests.com They only sell TTC related products and seem to offer everything (although you may want to shop around to find a cheaper price on some things)
--- PLEASE RESEARCH overstimulation symptoms if you're not being monitored. AND research all the things I just told you for yourself! I'm offering the info I've found in my months of looking, but I can't guarantee it's completely accurate or safe. It's what I will be doing and I have to be responsible for myself, but I don't want to tell you something that might put you in harms way. It's always better to be safe :)
HTH ladies! Load of baby dust to all of us TTC multiples!!
