Tips on helping those beans stick :)

[gills26]

Just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on what you should/shouldn't do/eat/drink to help those beans stick just after OV. For example, I read today that caffiene before OV is fine, but after OV should be avoided (if drunk excessively it prevents implantation). Things like that.

Anyone?

Thanks!

i had a 1/4 cup of coffee that I poured sitting here and just dumped it and made myself so decaf tea!!!

Interesting, i didnt know the bit about caffeine. I guess no alcohol, drugs, no smoking as it restricts the blood flow and would inhibit implantation....not sure about foods though. Dont forget the folic acid!

dont take anthing containing paracetamol.

limit caffine/ drink decaf tea/coffee

just generally eat and drink healthily, avoid alcohol and cigarettes.

sorry i cant be more help hunny x

is there where the baby asprin helps?

Pineapple juice and especially pineapple core is supposed to help I read.. enough just not too much.
Keeping your body temperature as normal as possible too - no hot baths and no hot water bottles as if you over heat it can affect the goings on.

I shall now be taking my own advice! and the one about caffine as I used to drink alot of coke.

Progesterone supplements. My sister in law just couldnt stop having miscarriges and then she went on progestrone and 9 months later her DS was here.

Aside from that im not sure. I concieved my DS while I was on narcotic medication after a back surgery, I drank up to 3 24oz coffee's a day and I smoked.

Mind you, I was told that I would never have children so I wasn't trying to get pregnant because I had never been able to have anything more than a chemical. I dont know what made DS stick but he did. I wish I did know because I could use that info now.

Oh, I have heard prenatal vitamins help.

I read in a few places that if you were taking evening primrose oil or Robitussin to increase your CM, you should stop taking them as soon as you ovulate. Start up again only after AF comes back.

Also, back when I was much younger and stupid enough to be searching for natural abortion methods, here are a few things off the top of my head used for that: excessive parsleys/cilantro, excessive pineapple juice, black cohosh.

I'm not sure about castor oil on the body (e.g. for massage or oil cleansing method), but as it's historically been used on women's feet to start up labour, I probably wouldn't use castor oil on the body either, just in case.

here here! i've been knocking back lemsip cold and flu all week as i have a stinking cold. This is the second cycle in a row where i've been ill when i'm potentially due to implant. very frustrating.

I read something interesting about making sure your body has enough protein and carbs, i.e. you're eating properly, as some of the chemicals released by your body when you eat sporadically, like skipping meals can actually inhibit implantation. So it's very important to eat regular meals as well as healthy meals. Unfortunately I've leant the book it was from to someone else so I can't quote it, but I'm pretty sure that was the gist of it.

I am sure that one can of coke is fine! I have cut mine down too as I am now drinking diet and hate the stuff so would rather not drink any at all!!

Eek, be careful about Diet drinks...my OH has banned me from all diet drinks as they contain aspartame which is apparently linked to MC. I know that everything seems to be linked to something, but actually you're better off with the sugar in a full fat coke, than the chemicals in Diet. It's not great, sorry! But then if you hate it anyway...maybe this is good news!
