What are you doing to help TTC?

Question

What are you doing to help ttc? special diet? exercise? acupuncture? smoothies? vitamins? suppliments? etc

Answer

I try to eat clean, do yoga, drink plenty of water, take prenatal vitamins. And recently I began the Mucinex method to help me get pregnant.

Answer

I’m getting some mucinex. Also take prenatal vitamins and OPK.

Answer

I eat healthy eliminating wheat and dairy, reducing sugar, soy and food sensitivities. Nothing processed. (Lots of meal planning). I try to incorporate lots of avocado, pumpkin seeds, flax, coconut oil, high protein, leafy greens. 
64 oz of water or caffeine free tea. Usually one is a decaf green to balance estrogen and the other is a mix of nettle, peppermint, and raspberry leaf. 
I take a prenatal, fish oil, multi B, castor oil, coQ10, NAC and magnesium citrate. I also take CBD oil twice a day. 
I use a castor oil pack on days 6 to ovulation. I’m going to try mucinex, preseed and softcups together this cycle. 
I go to therapy once a month, yoga once a week, workout twice a week and acupuncture one a week. I also see a naturopath to help with food sensitivities and supplements for TTC. I meditate daily. My b levels, iron levels, progesterone, estradiol levels and thyroid panel are within relatively normal range. My HSG and ultrasound were clear. 
I’ve tried pineapple cores, pomegranate juice, baby aspirin, moon cycling, not trying, trying daily, trying every other day. Evening primrose oil, aswangandha, Chinese herbs and myoinositol. I’ve also tried the fertilaid CM, ovulation and tea packs. None of these things worked. 
I ovulate every month between day 11-14, my cycles are always 25-28 days. Periods normal. No sign of PCOS or endometriosis. My husband is healthier than me, taking supplements and his semen analysis was normal. 
Still not pregnant after one year. My OBGYN said to come back when I want a referral for IVF but if I want to find the root of the problem and avoid the use of synthetic hormones and the stress and cost of IVF. 
My job is stressful but OPKS show I’ve ovulated every month and my cycle has stayed the same. I’ve tried “trying really hard” and I’ve tried “forgetting” about TTC and having sex when we want and trying not to stress. I’m sorry I can’t be much help.

Answer

I eat a balanced diet, I try to limit my caffine intake and I drink lots of water. Yoga and meditation can work wonders since for some women TTC is a very stressful time and the stress does not help. Believe me. I take prenatal vitamins but its not necessary. It is however necessary to make sure you get at least 400mcg of folic acid a day, this prevents neural tube defects during the closing of the tube at 4 weeks. Exercise is great for the body whether you are trying for babe or not so I always vouch for physical activity :)

Answer

I eat healthy, drink loads of water,
Prenatal vitamins, since I keep getting bfns I’ve started borage Oil, evening Primrose Oil, I take my bbt. Just started using my Ava bracelet. I plan to use ovulation test next cycle.
