I'm 37 and entering my 11th month TTC.

DC2 took 24 months to conceive, so it is not unfamiliar territory.

With DC2, I fell pregnant after a Hycosy and a few months of Clomid.

This time, however, we've decided not to pursue medical assistance. So, I was hoping for some recommendations... What helped you fall pregnant after a long period of TTC? Even if it seems silly, I feel like trying new things each month helps me feel more in control

Double dose of Methylfolate and 400-600 grams of Ubiquinol. Clean eating and no alcohol. Good Luck!

You know what... I've never given clean eating a proper go. I have a crazy sweet tooth and love caffeine...

@babybornwere u very strict about it? How long did it take?

@tealpanda49it took me a while however it was more because I was still breastfeeding my toddler a lot so was able to fall pregnant but had 3 miscarriages before finally falling pregnant with my daughter. I’m one that must have to stop feeding in order to sustain a pregnancy.
Clean eating is hard for the first few weeks but if you buy berries, bananas, dark chocolate in substitute it helps with the sweet tooth and you do get used to it.

Forgot to add, I had my daughter at 41 and will try and have another one in the next 12 months 🙈😀

@BabyBornWow, love this for you, and best of luck when you TTC again.

Ok, I'm really going to try to limit my sugar. I've just polished off a Mars bar... but tomorrow is another day ! It will all be worth it if it works :)

If definitely works. Get some low sugar recipes ready. Sugar disrupts hormones and causes inflammation amongst other things.
But the book It Starts With An Egg, I’m sure this book helped me get pregnant must quicker than I would have.
