OPK and sort-of charting. I hated charting and never saw any trends so I felt it actually frustrated me more. I think I conceived the month I stopped charting and only used the OPK.

Charting and sex. It worked pretty well for us. I don't ovulate every cycle, so it took us a few months, but when I finally did, we had timed things just right.
Charting, opks, pre-seed, and... lots of people will argue this, but not having a ton of sex until it was the right time. We did no sex for a week and then sex the day before and after ovulation.[/quote]
Charting for 6 months prior to pullin the goalie to figure out my cycles. Prenatals during that time period too. Then we pulled the goalie and went to a hot springs for the weekend before Valentine's Day, which happened to be my fertile window. Ironically, that was the only sex we had all month, due to family visiting and the flu! We are damn lucky.
Mucinex. I was charting, using opk's and having sex every day around the time I was fertile and after 7 months I still wasn't pregnant. My friend recommended Mucinex and I got pregnant the first month I tried it. I have recommended it to other people since and 2 of my friends have gotten pregnant right away after trying for awhile.

Just having sex a few times when I appeared to be ovulating. I had really whacked out cycles (40 days, the. 60+, etc) so I temped/charted and used OPKs when we started trying.

Getting pg the second time around was much easier, we didn't chart, didn't try to get pg. Just used no birth control, and we were so busy with LO#1 that we didn't even stress about it. I have no tips for you, since we still don't know when this pg was conceived. LO #1 was a surprise, after we were accepted to start an international adoption. Good luck to you!
#1 - OPKs (I O'd super late and never would have caught the egg without them) - 1st cycle off bc #2 - charting and OPKs- 3rd cycle off bc #3 - it just happened (though after charting for so long, I can't help but know when I O, even when I am not technically charting)
After trying for 9 months and not having any success with opks and charting, I went to see an RE. All of my tests came back normal. He did an HSG last month and everything looked fine. The Dr. mentioned that some women have increased fertility after it. I was 1 of them! I am now 5 months pregnant. We only had sex once that week and it was 2 days before ovulation.
I tried for a few year's on my own. I started temping,opk's month 13 I was like I am not temping anymore I was over it and frustrated I just used Opk's got a positive on cd 15 and 16 had sex on cd 15 and cd 17 and finally got pregnant.
Vitamin B6 supplement (my LP was way to short before adding this in). First month on it, BFP. Was our 9th month trying. Did it make the difference? I'll never know. But I will be using it next time!
