Fun stuff to make a baby

Apart from the obvious does anyone have any ideas of positive stuff I could plan in for next month which might help?
Went for an Indian head massage this month thinking would be good as relaxing but was during the 2ww and the therapist seemed to be a bit vague about whether it was a good idea or not...
Anyway, and ideas that aren't too serious would be appreciated!

How do you mean? Stuff that will help you get pregnant or fun stuff to take your mind off TTC? If former, just lots of sex, healthy diet, take a few exercise classes/vitamins etc. If the latter, start a new hobby, do crafts, socialise/shop or read/plan an elaborate Christmas/New Year party/go skydiving or get a puppy! And have lots of sex.

Practitioners will always be very vague about treating you when there is a chance you might be pregnant. It s highly unlikely that something like a massage will cause the loss of a pregnancy, but they have to say so to cover their own backs.

I agree about taking up a new hobby, or maybe set yourself a target to read a few new books every month.

If you are looking for something that will guarantee you get pregnant, I'm sorry to say there is no such thing!

If its stuff for you, treat yourself! Go shopping (it's incredibly dull when you do get pregnant!), facials are lovely, go out and drink, eat stinky cheese :)

If its the two of you, I recommend getting massage oil! It's sensual to have massages together, the skin to skin contact can stimulate you to fancy a bit of sex but we always did massage with an agreement that sex might be a bonus rather than assumed! :)

Some good ideas there! I see posting very early meant I didn't really make sense!

I partly meant if I go for a massage or facial when's the best time both for TTC and to be safe, do you think?

Also any ideas that might relax me I was after and definitely some good ideas there. Will show DH and tell him he's on DD duty by order of MN while I go shopping etc ;)

A facial should be fine any time but I'd go for massage before the tww to be on the safe side.
