What did you give up???

With TTC?

As I sip my daily cup of coffee I was wondering if maybe I should give it up. Should I be taking some supplements? Should I be eating different stuff?
Less of this, more of that?

Any tips! What did you give up or start?

Re: What did you give up???

I started pre-natals 2 months ago. I was a HUGE coffe drinker, so I cut down to half-caff, instead of high-octaine. I was also a social smoker, as soon as the BDing began I stopped, I figure it just isn't worth the risk.

Me 5! I have switched to prenatals instead of regular multi-vitamins & I take tylenol instead of motrin after O time because I heard motrin may impact implantation. Everything else will wait until I get the BFP.

Re: What did you give up???

Only my daily allergy meds. I only take them when I really need them now.

Otherwise I am not changing a thing until I see the BFP. It is just too much stress anyway. Take it from someone who has been tcc for 10 months. You can't give up your life for TTC. you never know how long it could take. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I don't give up anything. I'll watch the alcohol if I think there is a possibility. Once I get the BFP, everything stops.

9 months is long enough without caffeine or wine or seafood or fresh mozzarella pizza.... Chat Icon

Re: What did you give up???

Initially I gave up coffee and wine. However, 8 months later I realized that was a studid move which made me crazier. Now I enjoy my morning coffee and occassional wine. No need to give up anything until I have that BFP.

Re: What did you give up???

I gave up nothing. I wasn't an over user of anything really so I was okay.

DH did ask me to stop drinking alcohol the week before I got my BFP. It was actually quite funny because if I would have paid attention to it more, I would have had a better "last drink". Not knowing my last drink was a jello shot!
Oh well - its all worth it

Re: What did you give up???

I started cutting out caffine about a month ago. I used to drink about 105oz of coke a dayChat Icon I'm down to 1 20ox cup of coffe each morning 1/2 reg and 1/2 decaf. I am now starting to cut back on smoking...I know I know, but 1 addiction at a time! I have started eating healthier, but that wasn't a huge challenge. I have been taking prenatals, calcium citrate, folic acid, and omega 3 for over year now and it really helps. I think that's it.....
