Hi,

Anyone get bfp when they relaxed more, exercised as normal, ate what they wanted, generally healthy-treats too obviously and laid off all the pregnancy vitamins and minerals etc? Just taking folic acid now.

I went way over the top over the last 3 months and feel I just need to calm down and be normal.

TIA.

Yeah this is me. Started TTC a year ago got obsessed did all the things took all the ovulation tests vitamins no alcohol healthy eating. I did get pregnant after 8 months which ended in a miscarriage at 8 weeks. Thought f it will just see what happens stopped everything went on holiday drank everyday and got pregnant I’m now 14 weeks everything perfect. Just my experience people like to shout on here and get triggered at others who say that taking things easy is nonsense and doesn’t make a difference but it worked for me. I think some people are more sensitive to stress and hormonal fluctuations cortisol levels etc.

Me. Got pregnant Easter weekend drinking too much wine and eating too much chocolate.

Generally stayed healthy and took up running but stopped taking pregnancare etc.

All 3 of my pregnancies were when I was least expecting it and for some weird reason when we’d had gaps in having sex for example our last born was conceived on Valentine’s Day when we hadn’t had sex for over a month due to illness.

Me!! Went on holiday and just stopped obsessing over OPKs and sex was becoming more of a chore. Had sex 3 times the week before we got back from holiday. Got my BFP after we got back. Now almost 31 weeks

Me. I stressed and worried and it didn't happen. Then my cat who had been ill for ages miraculously got better and I was so relieved I forgot about focussing on ttc. And it was that month.

First time we werent even trying when i got pregnant with DD. Then DS was conceived the first time we DTD after deciding we were going to try for another child. Neither of us exercising or trying to eat healthy etc.

We were young both times tho so maybe that had something to do with it.

My sister was trying for well over a year before she conceived her first.
