What are you doing to help w/ TTC?

Curious to see what other people are doing...are you using OPKs, checking CM, charting temps, taking supplements, anything else?

Hmmm, I hadn't heard that! I don't eat a lot of whole grains because I try to limit the starchy foods I eat (they make me sluggish)...wonder if I should increase them?

I read that on this site. This is all sooo new to me.
I read whole grain foods (like whole grain pasta) will help increase fertiltity. Well, even if it is not true, whole grains are better that white so how bad can it be!Chat Icon

Right now I am trying to lose weight since those excess pounds can affect fertility. I am on a low carb diet.

When I started TTC I made the decision to eat better. So that I could lose weight or at least maintain my weight.

I added more water to my diet. Walk more.

Take prenatals (prima care 1).

I chart my CM, use OPKs and Saliva Fertility scope.

Re: What are you doing to help w/ TTC?

Well I'm a book nerd, so I read up on everything.....

I take EPO (evening primrose Oil) from CD1 until I "O", helps with CM

Check my CM & CP

Use OPKs

Take pre-natals & DHA

On Low Carb diet, I get really bad migraines if I eat too many carbs.

And from CD11 til 1DPO, I take mucinex

I'm a pill popper.......

And most importatntly I PRAY, Alot

Re: What are you doing to help w/ TTC?

This is our fitst month, I'm taking it easy at first just to see how things go. I've been on prenatals for 2 months and have been checking my CM. If we don't get pregnant in a few months I'll probably try the OPKs

Re: What are you doing to help w/ TTC?

We just started using OPK last month. I'm getting really familiar with my body, so I'm getting to the point where I can almost predict when I'm about to O.
