Random TTC Poll

So DH pulled the goalie last cycle and when we did we agreed that in no way did we want it to be like our first time TTC, stressful and constantly thinking about it.  So we decided to just see what happens, my issue is that the first time we TTC, I gave up everything because I might be pregnant and after three years of no caffeine, alcohol, etc we finally got pregnant.  This time I am trying to at least be responsible, but I really don't want to think about it constantly or stress, so question is what changes did you make while TTC, if any?  Thanks for the input and as @jesselayne8 said Happy Friday!

TTC#1 May 2009- July 2010 on our own with no luck

Started with RE in August 2010, dx with unexplained IF and then finally our 3rd IUI cycle using Follistim and Trigger resulted in our wonderful little man.  Born 12/2/11

TTC#2 Never really prevented, but were careful early on as Dr. reccomended

Surprise BFP 12/16/13, started progesterone immediately as first numbers came back low, but betas were good.  Progesterone wasnt enough. Natural MC 12/24/13.

Back with RE as of January 2014...

5/27/14- Chemical Pregnancy :(

April 2015 IVF#1

5/13/15- BFP, please stick LO!

Oh and I'm a major Harry Potter Nerd :)

Re: Random TTC Poll

  • I did not make any changes while TTC. I still took my prenatal vitamins since I was BF'ing Alex up until we started trying again. But I also still drink coffee every day while pregnant and even the occasional glass of wine. 

    Good luck to you guys, I hope you will be pregnant soon!

    I took prenatals. That was about the only thing I did differently from normal life. I tracked my periods so I knew when I was late and would test early. I spent a lot of money on hpt's. I usually didn't drink during the last 2 weeks before my period, but I actually did drink the night I got my bfp with DS. We had the absolute worst timing (or so I thought) and we had decided to TTA so we could take a trip to Jamaica. Oops! I would say that DS turned out fine but we all know that's not true :) jk his issues were obviously not related. Just go with the flow, because I would hate to see you stressed constantly. That's no life to live.

  • thanks ladies! i appreciate the support as always, because i really do feel like its crazy to change all these things when the chances of us getting ku with fertility are probably slim to none anyway and if we do then i'll modify once we know. so here goes my crazy type A self trying to be cool and just go with the flow! @-T- very glad to hear little man came through surgery and that the rest of the time in the hospital goes quickly!,,

  • I didn't give up alcohol until my medicated cycles and even then I drank during AF. I am not a big coffee drinker but I did continue to enjoy my diet coke. I did cut back on exercise. I was running 30-40 miles a week prior to TTC DD so I switched to yoga, cycling, and shorter runs (3 miles instead of 6-7).
