I almost hate to admit this here, but all my pregnancies have been first tries.
#1 @33, my son Joshua
#2 @35, my son Kevin
#3 @38, miscarriage, very high nuchal number & normal chromosomes
Currently trying for #4 @38 and I'm feeling familiar symptoms. Hoping for a BFP next week...
For me, genetics are on my side, but I think some of the key things are dietary
- I take fish oil every day and have for years and years
- I eat butter, olive, and other natural & healthy oils
- I avoid trans fats like the plague
- I limit soda, never have done the diet thing
- I don't drink or eat non-fat dairy (I have since read that that it inhibits fertility)
Before TTC #1, I also went through a long series of acupuncture to get my migraines under control. It worked thankfully. I'm sure it didn't hurt getting pregnant either.
