still TTC your first baby? want some glastonbury luck?

I am just converting to organic and about to detox the Zita way.

I've got the DH on brazil nuts because they are high in selenium (can't spell that) which helps his little swimmers. He also has a mens health supplement.

Not heard about sage organic but I will look into it. More than happy to share advice. My friend gets us some lovely organic tea I will find out the name for you.

Like you I am a light weight - 5 glasses of wine with glasses of water in between and I was taken to bed by DH in disgrace. I apparently passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Not to talk work to much but a brides dress who is getting married on Saturday was stolen and we have just found out that our designer will be able to make her a replacement, I am so happy I would have hated having to tell her that her dress was stolen.

Babybrat you have made my day with the news on tea! Was a bit worried about that. Will have to go and make myself a cup now.
Also what vits are you taking? Have you heard of sage organic? really good preggy vits which I am taking and they do a herbal supplement too which you take alongside. Have a 'healthy man' range too. Google them. They are mail order. Just if you are interested. Am a great believer in the power of organic!
Don't you love all this advice swapping?! x

You are alright with tea as the caffine level is lower, I think it is something daft like 10 cups before you are over your caffine limit.

Treenie, I live by Zita's book, I chatted to DH about the 100 day thing and it took me all my time to convince him to cut down on the beer, he just gives it up the week before I ovulate. (not sure that makes to much of a difference)

My DH's brother gets upto all sorts there is nothing he hasn't done and he only has to smile at a girl and she is pregnant.

Hey Fi don't forget to wish hard and keep us posted you never know, it worked for pirategirl.

me please

Nomore I'm taking vits and essential fatty acid supplement and eating only organic food - dh doing the same. No booze - apart from my one slip up at the weekend, which actually was prob about 4 glasses of wine - am just such a lightweight!
Eating as much fruit and veg as poss too and lots of nuts and seeds. Caffine is the one thing I can't cut out - need about four cups of tea a day or I go mad.
Am not actually trying until after next af which means another two weeks or so to wait, but trying to get ready.
Also thinking of trying an ayruvadic fertility herb called Shatavari (google it, I think I have the spelling right) which you can get from health stores. Meant to be very good according to the woman in Planet Organic.
Also started swimming every morning to get my fitness levels up and got to yoga once a week. Can't wait to go to preggy yoga. Looks so lovely when I see the class who have bumps. Nice and relaxing and very good for pelvic floor!

Another thing on temping - read somewhere that temping can be out by up to 36hrs so really not as helpful as I'd thought, caused me to panic that my lp was 9/10 days.

Hi fi think you can manage 3 turns for me, pretty please???? . Putting my name down on list, before you get too dizzy .

nomore i'm doing pretty much everything you mentioned except for the legs in the air bit. DH has the tendency to tickle me when i try and i collapse in a heap ! would be interested to know if there's anymore tricks out there...

I'm ok, off work today - had bad cystitis this am, but feeling better now.
Have never tried ov sticks, I did take my temps for about 3 months to try and pinpoint ov, but it caused me to get too stressed so I stopped. I am another one who likes to be in control, but that was too much for me.
What else are you doing in your ttc efforts? I've tried grapefruit juice (pink, not so nasty) vit b6, evening primrose oil, temping, bd every night for 2 weeks, legs in air for 20 mins after bd(though according to some this is a myth), probably more that I've forgotten too...any q's on any of this I'd be happy to help.

just wanted to send you all good luck as the thread caught my eye.

I conceived dd1 after 3 yrs, when we camped at a campsite very near the actual Glasotonbury Tor.

It realy has magical properties, and I woud reccomend it. We went to the goddess spring, i meanthe Chalice Well and I wished and wished for my baby. I was fertile that weekend, and hadnt ever known we were going for a trip to Glastonbury.

The we walked up the Tor, my ex dh did it bare foot, to connect with the land!

one month later my period was late.

I'm excited too! My childbearing days are over, but I love a baby thread! Anyway, as an expert in the wonderful world of under fives, you might need me one day! Remember the name!

Ah Ok. Was all a panic cause I really like them! How you doing anyway?

no, I was teasing you as you asked when to take the ov sticks and I had an image of you trying to swallow them along with your morning cuppa!!

Nomore you are right - no point in worrying. It would have got us in the mood had we no been so off our faces that fell straight into bed and off to sleep!

On the old thread you said not to use OV sticks - why not? do you not like them? Interested to hear your opionion

You can run, but you can't hide, my sweet, I recognised ya thread title a mile off!

Have you ever thought about how many people get pg when pissed without even trying?
Bet it got you in the mood though? wedding and all... (worked for dh and me - getting in the mood that is, no bfp unfortunately)

Like the new thread btw!!

Thanks Fi!! Just think if one of gets pregnant this month you an take all of the glory

Treenie - I'm such a worrier that I reckon I may avoid the Zita West book - DH is never going to give up alcohol completely so it will just make me worry more. But you think one big night out won't make that much difference? Or do you think you need to wait over 100 days before TTC to flush out the bad sperm?

BB - sorry to hear about your theft! People are awful aren't they - hope it all goes well with the insurance company!

Babybratt that is so aweful! What a horrible thing to happen. But you know what, even if the police don't get them karma will. Strong believer in that - what goes around comes around.
But poor you, you must be so shaken up.
