Hello ladies!!! I am BRAND new to this forum, I'm kind of in limbo right now between NTNP and TTC.... I've been waiting months for him to be ready!! Most of my adult life I have wanted to be a mother above all else! I find myself finally in a stable, healthy relationship and I am more than excited to begin this!! Here's to 2012 ladies! Just wondering if there was anything you did differently when you all began TTC (foods, meds, caffeine, supplements)?? I try to read up a much as I can about everything so I've read the usual stuff but wondering if maybe you all ha any new secrets?

Thank you!!

:wave: Hi JennaLynn! Welcome to B&B

Ok, this is going to sound weird, and I haven't repeated the experiment because I only noticed it last cycle, but around my fertile time I was eating lots of yams (only because we bought lots and didn't want them to go bad, so we had a yam week ) and I saw that I had A LOT of EWCM and for many more days than typically. So being curious, as this never happened before I googled it up and apparently yams increase EWCM and fertility overall! So. I'm going to repeat that experiment again except I don't know about this cycle, as we're going off on holidays for those weeks but if we don't get lucky this cycle, I'll do it again next cycle and if the same thing happens, I'll let you and everyone else know. Good luck and !!!

Wow lol I've never heard of that!! I van definitely learn to like some yams for results like that, thanks for the info

I like them roasted in the oven - cut them up in pieces (you can leave skin on, it's totally fine, just wash them well) sprinkle some cinnamon, cumin and black pepper on them and a bit of olive oil and bake.....mmmmm so yummy!
