hmmm i think my oh was snoozing when they handed out dancing genes!! is the zita west book good then? the whole sperm thing is just so confusing isn't it? IF i ov atall this month then i think it would've been last thursday - had ewcm wednesday thursday (loads on thursday) and we did it Tues, wednesday, thurs and fri! But because we hadnt done it for the whole month () i am thinking that most of the sperm would've been a bit dazed and probably a bit worse for wear having been cooped out in there for all that time. not sure if this is true or not - but i remember when oh had his sperm test done we couldn't do it for the couple of days before hand to make sure they were ok!
How was your weekend? hope you caught that eggy chick.

Oh the Zita West book is just fantastic! I have just finished it - there's so much useful stuff in there. I don't really go in for the Chinese Medicine stuff, but there could be something in it.Apart from that it's got loads about how to assess your own fertility, how to improve it through diet, what supplemetns are useful, what problems can occur and just about everything else! (It's called Guide to Getting Pregnant). I just like its really positive approach, that most couples can conceive naturally if they just start focussing more on their diet, stress levels and so on, and that even small changes can have a positive effect!

I am going to make a few small changes which should result in the whole family being healthier! Gonna stop using sweetners (aspartame converts to formaldehyde in your body), chewing gum (same), drink still mineral water instead of fizzy (has much more minerals), buy my fruit and veg at the market rather than the supermarket (fresher, more antioxidants, less chemicals), cut out alcohol altogether from 5 days before ovulation, buy fewer ready-processed foods and only wholemeal bread.

The idea is that if your body is healthier, it works more efficiently, so your hormones become more balanced and that increases your fertility. Even if it doesn't work I'm gonna feel great



Tried out the Preseed last night. TBH I couldnt' tell any difference, so may be I'll save it for those days when i feel a bit dry/tender but we should be bding. Quite relieved in a way that it didn't produce stunning effects, as I would probably end up addicted to the darned stuff!

sounds like a really good idea hun!!! I hope it works!!!

I read a book very similar when we were trying for ds. It was called a natural guide to infertility. It was fantastic. said in there about sweetners - and said to have butter rather than marg. basically anything classed as "low fat" was bad because of all the additives they put in there to try and make it taste the same! also said not to use micro wave and to eat mainly fresh stuff. Easier said than done - but we stuck to what was feesible. We got pg the month after - whether the book had anything to do with it i will never know. Sometimes having something else to focus on helps I guess!
I am definitiely addicted to preseed- have had to leave it in the cupboard downstairs now as it is so expensive i am not wasting it on bding towards the end of the month!!! LOL!!

Yeah I tried the switch to butter too, but I don't like the taste much so switched back. I'm not going to make any changes that I don't actually like - can't see the point! I'm quite a healthy person anyway - eat lots of fruit and fibre, never smoked, never had a weight problem, (lucky genes I think!) and i don't have a sweet tooth, which helps! You're right in that it does give you something else to think about! but actually walking round the supermarket the other day I though, god there is sooooo much crap in here! I have to be extra vigilant because all the ingredients are in bulgarian and it's easy to feel too lazy to try to work them out

wishing4ababy

oh my god. I don't envy you that. I did weight watchers in the year leading up to our wedding and it used to drive me insane working the points out on everything that i was picking up!
i hope all these changes that we make are going to give us our BFP's and soon!!!!!!!!!

magicvw

Course they will Wishing!! to you, me and everyone else hoping this month!

That's another advantage of buying fresh produce too i suppose- no ingredientes to interpret!

wishing4ababy

with all this confusion and everyone being fed up around i think we could do with it couldn't we? everyone seems to be having a rubbish/confusing/plain ole crappy time of it at the moment.

I hope the changes help you I'm trying to make some changes too but I really have to try to get very committed I've been doing very good with dance exercises every night It's helping in toning which is awesome, but I gotta work on actually losing the weight instead of toning it BFP's are surely on the way for us
