I feel stupid asking but I can't really find anything online. Is it ok to get bikini waxes while TTC? It's the only thing I'm doing differently from when I had my lo. I figured maybe the waxing was affecting blood flow or I don't know. Just trying to figure out why. I told h I'm not getting waxed until KU or until we throw in the towel.
I don't really know, but it seems unlikely that it would have any effect.
That said, i have found that if there is anything i am are worrying about, its best to just not do that habit, eat that item etc -- assuming of course there are no negative health benefits or other affects.
Me (42) w/ partner for 16+ years
TTC #1: 11/2012 - 9/2013; 6/2014 - present
Follistim + TI (3x): All BFNs
Follistim + IUI (1x): BFN
IVF #1: 17 retrieved,15 fertilized, Day 3: 15, Day 5/6: 3 biopsied
I wouldn't think it would matter, but I'm with @dolphin012 if you're worried, I'd give it up.
I'm wracking my brain too to try to find a reason why things aren't working for us like they did last time. But the main thing I can come up with is that my stress is higher and my sleep is lower and I can't find too much to do about those things. I keep telling myself that it took my mom 2 years to get pregnant with my brother after she had no trouble getting pregnant with me. I think sometimes it just takes time and there may not be a reason. I like to console myself by saying that we just have to keep waiting until it's the right kiddo that will be conceived--just exactly the one God has picked out for our family. It doesn't always help (like today) but sometimes it does.
I totally agree about the wracking your brain to figure out why each time didn't work. I spend so much time during the TWW worrying about every little thing, like if it's okay to eat certain things, drink certain teas, etc. I do agree that if it's not absolutely necessary and you're worried about it, it's probably better to just cut it out of your life for now.

m/c @ 7w (4/22/14), m/c @ 6w (11/19/14) 11/15: Letrozole, Ovidrel, TI = BFP!!! Beta #1(14dpo)=349, Beta #2(18dpo)=2,805 12/17/15: Got to see the heartbeat (105bpm)! 1/25/16: NT scan = normal (HB=163bpm) EDD: 8/10/16 8/8/16: Baby boy born @ 12:25am, 8lbs, 20.5 inches 5/18/17: BFP!!!

I agree with all others, I don't THINK it would be an issue, but personally, I never want to do anything that I could look back at and regret if I get a BFN. That's just me... And I think it's normal to wrack your brain about why it's not happening. We all do it...
