@thejollytrolleydolly I’ll keep everything crossed for your little unicorn! At least, in some ways, having made the decision to leave it to luck frees you from the obsessing over any little thing that might give you an edge. (Though with ttc, there’s always something to obsess over, amirite 🤣)
@triedoftrying123 I think I might need one of those pill boxes my granny used to use to keep me right with all of that! 🤣 I’m going to do a bit of research today and see what I think might be best for me. What does the R-alpha acid and N-acetyl do? I don’t recall coming across them in my copious reading.
I definitely do need to shed a few lbs 🙈 diet wise I’m trying to focus on non-UPF, plenty of nuts and seeds (seed cycling), more green veggies, less sugar. Exercise wise I just completed the Caroline Girvan beginners programme and think I’m going to do that again but with increased weights before moving on. I’d like to get back into a bit of yoga. I’ve dabbled with fertility yoga in the past. I’ve lost 2-3 inches off my waist in the last 6 weeks so it does seem to be working, just need to keep it up!
What about the OHs? My husband isn’t currently taking any supplements but I’m trying to convince him it might be a good idea. I’m also making him cut right down on the coffee to 1 cup a day and drink Rooibos tea instead as I’ve read it’s good for sperm! He’s not a happy camper but I can’t be the only one making changes 🤣 and I’ve told him he needs to eat lots of nuts and tomatoes too.
We haven’t had any testing done, we conceived within 6 months last time, which was great given I was 36, and just outside that timeframe in terms of trying this time. I think we’ll give it another few cycles before we look into that as I’d really rather not if we don’t have to.
