What NOT to do?

[mrsmummy2]

Hi ladies. Just wondering if theres anything you purposely don't do when ttc?
Ive heard limiting/stopping coffee/caffeinated things helps. Curious if theres anything else i should try not to do?

I dont eat or drink cold foods. Now, I'm not 100% sure if this really even helps but I have heard in the Western world this is what they do. Its supposed to help keep your uterus warm? I drink room temp. water and no shakes, ice cream etc. But I didn't follow this when I got pregnant with my 3 girls and I got pregnant right away. But since it's taking a lot longer this time i am willing try about anything.
I also stopped eating peanut butter and peanuts. Something about it depleting calcium levels thus reducing fertility. That one makes me sad!

Ooh thats a new one! Hadnt heard of a warm uterus may give that a go! I dont eat peanuts on a regular basis or like peanut butter so dont need to worry about that one

I didn't know the NSAIDS painkillers affect fertility.
Until my doctor prescribed me strong NSAIDS. So I'm completely stopping those.
And take folic acid as a daily routine. (I always forget)
Also stop alcohol
And finally get back down to a healthy weight.
