Taking Charge of Your Fertility - Trying to Conceive

KissTheRain · 11-04-2009, 09:46 AM

by Toni Weschler. I LOVE this book. I just bought it yesterday and have DEVOURED at least a third of it. It's sooo interesting even to those not TTC! Absolutely amazing!

I also bought an official BBT thermomter! Its pink! I

it!

Excellent book. I learned quite a bit of interesting facts from it.

For example, it finally made sense why both times I got pregnant I was taking decongestants.

Hmmm I've heard of that working. You have to take it without anithistimines in it though right? Hmmm

I better go stock up!

Yup Mucinex is better than Robitussum. Regular Mucinex though not DM.

Antibiotics/Amoxicyllin work the best though (not sure why)

says it in the book.

That page burned into my memory.

I read that too but don't you have to have a prescription for that? What do I do go to the Dr and say, "Excuse me Doctor, but I want my cervical mucus to be more sperm friendly. Do you think you could prescribe me an anitbiotic?"

I guess you just better stock up on it when you get sick.

Mucinex is fine though and PLENTY of water because it does no good to loosen up your mucus if you don't produce enough.

I swear as much as I know about TTCing it better not take me more than six months when J gets back.

or else I will totally shove my foot into my mouth.

hehehe...I've been learning a lot too. Its very interesting. But I think it's gonna take us a while. I don't know why, just a gut feeling. Plus my cycle decided to go whacko this month. Just had my IUD taken out so that's probably why. I hope you get preggs fast when he gets back

I will when I will. I just need to learn to relax and not obsess over it. But I can't help it. It's like all that's on my mind!

Ya never know.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

I think it'll take us around 3-4 months, gut feeling. I'm going to try and get in shape, eat right, all those things before he gets back.

Yeah I'm working on getting my body healthy while I wait. I usually have a few drinks with DH every night but I've pruned it down to not heavily drinking on the weekend in 2 weeks and only a total of maybe 3 beers in the last two weeks. I've been trying to eat right...but the kids' Halloween candy is [I]sooooo[I] tempting! So I try to limit to about 2 pieces per day...it'll be gone soon! My biggest problem is caffine and exercise. I LOVE caffine and have to have at least 2 cups every morning and then throughout the day. I HATE exercise. I love my Wii fit but I just haven't been getting on it. Maybe I will today...
