Getting healthier for TTC

[TheFimbleFowl]

90% sure I’m starting my second miscarriage in a row this weekend.

I can’t control this, but I can control what I do next. Started googling, and instantly overwhelmed with all the information out there, so I wondered whether we could have a thread on what we can do to increase our chances.

So far I’ve got:

• TTC pregnacare
• cut right back on alcohol and caffeine
• healthier diet: cut back meat in particular?
• exercise and drink water and more sleep

Anything else? Can anyone recommend any miracle supplements or herbs which are worth a go?

I’ll also be seeing my dr but right now, this very minute, I need a plan I can implement myself to get me through this!

I used Agnus castus (vitex) ttc which I feel helped as my progesterone levels were a bit low. Stopped when pregnant tho

Also tried high concentration of evening primrose oil TIL ovulation which was also good to get pregnant unfortunately ended in miscarriage that time

I also found exercise and losing a bit of weight really very helpful in ttc and giving up alcohol - I think some hormones reside in fat so even losing a little weight if you're a bit over, or gaining is just as important I understand if you're a bit under weight

Good luck and hope you're wrong about miscarriage

Thanks flumpybear. That’s exaclty what I need right now - I’m pretty certain this one is on its way out so just need to feel I’m doing something which could make a difference next time.

I’m 37 now so I imagine this is partly just down to the age of my eggs but I could certainly do with shifting a stone, and if this isn’t going to motivate me nothing will!
