I'm Currently Feeling:  | Tanning.....
Is anyone tanning while TTC? I talked to my doctor about it and he said as long as I am doing it in moderation it should be ok.... Has anyone tanned and gotten pregnant? I have read some things on it and it says it doesn't affect fertility. It takes away some folic acid, but not too much for it really to matter since we are taking prenantals.
Any advice or imput?
Trying to look as good as I can to help enhance BDing!!!!!!!!!!! 
Oh and I am only tanning like every other day and only for 10 minutes. I do not use a bronzer, I use an accelerator.
I am just curious on who all has tanned and gone on to have a sucessful pregnancy. Thank you for your help ladies! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I'm kinda in the same boat. I have a monthly membership.. And it just renewed... I didn't find out till 3 days afterwards, and I just don't think sitting in the bed would be good. Plus 10 minutes won't affect me, I barely tan unless in for a bit. Hate to lose the money, but I just don't feel right about it. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I'm a fake tan girle too I'm afraid - went for a facial a little while back and the therapist said she could see evidence of premature wrinkles starting! ARGH! Scared me into ditching the sunbeds in favour of Fake Bake.... |
