It's nice being able to talk to other women in similar situations. This whole process is so new to me. I'm excited and anxious all at the same time. Do you know of any natural, herbal supplements I can take to increase my chances? I currently take prenatal vitamins and maca root pills. I do maca root 1 month on, 1 week off. I also exercise 4-5 days a week, eat extremely healthy, and try not to stress too much. My main frustration is that I don't produce much EWCM. Could that be an issue in fertility?
My hubby and I have been TTC for the past 6 months...and hardcore for the past 2. I started taking prenatal vitamins about 3 months ago and I started doing OPK test strips for about 5 days ago. I just received a positive OPK, so I should start ovulating soon. Fingers crossed that I am/get pregnant soon. I am wondering if there are any women on here who is TTC for the first time over the age of 35. I'm trying really hard to not let statistics bum me out. I'm healthy and fit; but I have had issues with my estrogen levels in the past and possible issues from endometriosis. I took an AMH test 3 months ago and my egg supply is satisfactory for my age, so the doctors think i should be okay to conceive. However, if I don't get pregnant within the next 3 months, I must return for more tests. I would love to chit chat with others in a similar situation.
Welcome Tye, you've come to the right place honey. We are a great place for support through this journey. It sounds like you're doing everything right! Don't worry about your age until the doc says to be worried. Everything sounds good. There shouldn't be any reason you can't conceive soon. I just turned 34 in November so i'm feeling the pressure too but trying not to focus on it. I have hope that 2014 is all of our year's!!!
Yes, this is all very exciting and can produce much anxiety too but keep up your healthy eating and exercise. Those are huge while trying to conceive. You are doing pretty much everything right! I've never tried the maca root before. Good luck with it! Here's my list:
Grapefruit juice its good for something, I just don't remember what
FertiliTea taken during my BFP cycle from beginning of cycle up until O
Guaifenesin taken several days leading up to O and then stop once O is confirmed helps with cervical mucus, especially if on clomid as that med tends to dry you up
FertileCM a pill that helps create fertile cervical mucus; taken during my BFP cycle up until O
FertilAid helps with fertility; not supposed to take it while taking fertility meds so only took this one day
Standard in every cycle now
Prenatal
Folic acid
Baby aspirin
This current cycle, i've also tried a new thing - Royal Jelly & Pollen in Honey. It's so gross but my friend swears this was what got her preggers so i'm trying it. I'm desperate at this point. He, he...
Also, you don't HAVE to produce EWCM, as long as you're getting some of the watery stuff, that could work too. If not producing that, try the stuff i listed above. maybe just the cough medicine stuff - guaifenesin. It really works!
I didn't know all this was related to ovulation when I was younger didn't even know you ovulated thought you could have intercourse anytime of the month and fall pregnant lol if only that was the case would make life easier =D
Thank you for this! Best wishes for you and a happy and healthy baby! By the way...anything you did different, suggestions, etc...PLEASE POST!!
