I am taking everything you have said to heart. I know the same things don't work for everyone, but this is the best reason to get healthy! Just because I'm not overweight doesn't mean I'm healthy, and my food choices suck! I am going to start the couch to 5k (again!) and add more fruits/veggies to my diet to start, see how that goes. I have been seeing a chiropractor for 3 months and while I haven't gotten pregnant, my body feels amazing without pain!</p> <p>@SweetMamaM: I am especially intrigued by this book and immediately bought it. I think it will be good for my life to slow down. I'm always "busy" with unimportant things! </p> <p>You ladies are the best! Thanks again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-your-chances-of-getting-pregnant#post-713650 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 20:47:10 +0000 Ash 713650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cycles went crazy after our miscarriage so after a few months of not getting pregnant, I started going back to my chiropractor and I got pregnant that next cycle. </p> <p>@mrscastro swears by acupuncture since she got her bfp and I've heard a few success stories from it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-your-chances-of-getting-pregnant#post-713580 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 19:53:04 +0000 delight 713580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a combination of things helped me to get and stay pregnant. Vitamin B complex, preseed, and bum up/cycling legs for 20 mins after BD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-your-chances-of-getting-pregnant#post-713508 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 18:58:41 +0000 sumer08 713508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After about 8-9 cycles of TTC, I started daily 30 minute walks, since I read that walking can boost fertility and improve reproductive health. In addition, I cut all caffeine out of my diet and started drinking a cup of apple juice every morning (I read that it can also help with fertility...I forget the specific source though). I also started on a high quality whole food organic prenatal, and within 2 cycles of making these changes, we were pregnant :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-your-chances-of-getting-pregnant#post-713455 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 18:15:43 +0000 SweetMamaM 713455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was doing acupuncture and that alone wasn't working, mainly because we made the assumption that my hormones were out of whack. Following a trip to the doctor and multiple blood tests I found out that my hormones were normal but my C-reactive protein (inflammation marker) was high. At that point I was reading a lot here on chiropractors and I have always had some lower back pain so I decided to investigate.<br /> Turns out I sprained my pelvis about nine years ago and have been walking round lopsided for years. My acupuncturist, yoga instructor and chiro now are all working together to realign me, reduce my inflammation.<br /> If you have a Kindle, I'd recommend Rushing Women's Syndrome by Dr Libby Weaver. I was reading it and having so many "aha" moments - no wonder that five months down the track we're still not pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-your-chances-of-getting-pregnant#post-713227 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 15:12:32 +0000 ladybee 713227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used pressed every cycle. I read online that a warm uterus will get pregnant so I drank lots of hot green tea and used a heating pad on my lower tummy and back after O till 11dpo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-your-chances-of-getting-pregnant#post-712923 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 10:55:51 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 712923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think traditional Chinese medicine, and getting an HSG may have helped me. HSG sucks though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-your-chances-of-getting-pregnant#post-712542 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 21:18:06 +0000 Dandelion 712542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a hard time concieving ds and after I had him I lost 40 lbs...not in effort to ttc just to be healthy. Dd ended jp being an oops cause my body was healthier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-your-chances-of-getting-pregnant#post-712514 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 20:51:34 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 712514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely don't think it can hurt to eat better and exercise. Both times I've gotten a BFP, I started eating better and exercising more and lost a little weight beforehand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-your-chances-of-getting-pregnant#post-712512 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 20:50:16 +0000 Bao 712512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did all sorts of things, but who knows if they helped or not. Ate pineapple, took a baby aspirin the first half of my cycle, lots of rest in general, butt up on pillow after BD, and I used pre-seed which I think helped the most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-your-chances-of-getting-pregnant#post-712507 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 20:46:40 +0000 Emsmems 712507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you make any changes that you think helped you get pregnant? I have heard about accupuncture, chiropractors, etc... I'm interested in things you stopped/started doing (eating certain things, exercising, etc) that you think helped you conceived. </p> <p>I am moving into month 4 of ttc and I'm looking at making some changes to just be generally healthier (eating better, exercising, etc). Any advice is appreciated!! </p>
