whats your TTC advice?

[nikkifam5]

Id love to hear it? Hopefully this is our month. I am taking vitamines, going to BD every other day, use pre seed and test for ovulation...any foods that help with fertility or CM..anymore advice?

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is the best thing you can do food wise for fertility.  For CM, drinking lots of water, avoid caffeine as much as possible and take Robutussin (the plain kind) for 3-4 days before  you expect to O.

I also suggest charting your temps.  You can use the opks to determine when you are fertile, but confirming that you did O is helpful.  You can gear up to O and not actually O.  Or O later than you thought so you stop BDing too soon.  Plus, knowing when  you O tells you how long your LP is & having a too short LP doesn't help with TTC.

I've heard temping is tricky and if you move in the slightest you can be off in temp... also have you heard grapefruit juice helps?

And I LOVE coffee...its so funny how the older we get even by a year , how much our body. Changes... with all 3 kids I blinked and was pregnant. Within the first month of trying. Drank coffee, smoked ciggaretts ( not ever while pregnant just to clear that up )..ate pretty well..and boom pregnant..now I don't smoke, take vitamines, eat well..and I've been TTC for 13 months!

Ohhh Thank you! ofcourse x

You ought to TTC for 7 years and become obsesed, emotionally drained, upset at the sight of a BUMP, kids happy families etc... having just one child is a blessing! xxx

I actually have 3 children..and though I am very blessed, I do feel everyone is entitled to as many children as they desire and it hurts the same as any woman who may or may not have children. And even though its only been 13 months I too am sick at the thought that all my friends are pregnant, I'm very sad when I see a bump, I cry every month when af shows up...and having 2 miscarriages is also devistating... no matter how long you have been TTC or if you have children or don't, it feel its just as upseting and frustrating for all of us on here.. hopfully we all get our BFP very soon!

You've been trying for 7 years and dont know what TTC means? I'm not trying to be rude. I just find it strange.

Having 3 Children is 3 times the blessing, I am sad for anyone TTC of course I am...I have had miscarrage too..not ever knowing what that BUMP feels like hurts more than a knife through the heart..I fully understand your pain of TTC...but can you understand mine at never being able to...have that feeling that you have been blessed with  and sucessful with and having 3 lovely children..

what I meant was you have been blessed. not that you or anyone doesn't deserve more than one child..Like when you see a BUMP and you know how much that hurts..and knowing that 13months is also a long time to live in hope..and to cry after every period. I get the same upset feeling when people have Children and feel they dont understand the pain and heatache of not having one!

 

! I am not aiming to come across nasty not at all...

p.s I really hope you do get a fourth blessing!
