hi, just wondered if anyone has got any tips on what can help when your trying.
i am taking folic acid with vitamins (pregnacare) and omega 3....just wondering about what food to avoid really and any other tips.
PM me or reply on here...any tips are appreciated!!!
good luck everyone else who is trying!!

welllll...could give you a huge list

avoid too much low fat dairy - it can reduce chances - a small portion of full fat icecream a day could help
avoid factory made cakes and biscuits etc.

don't get too fat or too thin, avoid alcohol, cigarettes and stress

eat baby carrots to increase cervical mucous

of course the month you decide to pack all this in and just act normally will be the month you'll get your bfp

welcome and good luck

Relax and think positively

My OH took Zinc and Selenium too, to aid sperm mobility, don't know if it helped though, very best wishes!!

Just try to generally eat healthily, plenty of fresh fruit and veg and cut down on the alcohol and caffiene (all together if you're strong enough).

You're taking your folic acid tablets which is important.

Relax and have plenty of nookie
