I will seriously drag for the rest of the day if I don't have my one cup. I figure once I do get pregnant, I will cut it out and deal with it then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-different-when-you-are-ttc#post-1705291 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 13:03:32 +0000 pui 1705291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I avoided drinking during the TWW and my DH and I didn't use the IL's hot tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-different-when-you-are-ttc#post-1705267 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 12:55:08 +0000 septca 1705267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take a PNV and I don't take Advil during the TWW. That's about it. </p> <p>I definitely drink more and try to have sushi during the TWW because I always feel like it *could* be the last time (for a while).</p> <p>ETA: Starting this morning, I cut back to one cup of fully leaded coffee in the mornings. :crying: That's all I drank for years, but after DD was born my caffeine intake skyrocketed. This morning I decided I should get it back on track - more :crying: - so I had one cup at home and the a cup of decaf at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-different-when-you-are-ttc#post-1705200 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 12:22:40 +0000 Smurfette 1705200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-different-when-you-are-ttc#post-1705194 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 12:19:35 +0000 sumer08 1705194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made quite a few changes. It took 11 months for us to get pregnant with baby # 1, so I was all about making changes for the better to help give us any chance (I figured it couldn't hurt anyways!). I started prenatal vitamins, cut out caffeine, drank more water, and made sure I walked/jogged almost daily. I also tried to eat better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-different-when-you-are-ttc#post-1679801 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 01:40:21 +0000 sandy 1679801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do anything differently when TTC - ate and drank whatever I wanted. I did make sure to take prenatals and started drinking more water and also added green tea </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-different-when-you-are-ttc#post-1679748 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 00:39:12 +0000 simplyfelicity 1679748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went off Zoloft and starting taking prenatal vitamins but that is it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-different-when-you-are-ttc#post-1678373 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 13:14:42 +0000 Raindrop 1678373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried eating better...

For right now I will keep on playing! :-)</p> <p>@kiddosc: Oh for sure! You dont want to stop everything in your life for something that may take months/years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-different-when-you-are-ttc#post-1677893 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:59:12 +0000 LAZB 1677893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I don't change much when TTC. I would avoid playing volleyball after getting a BFP though. I am on a kickball team (very little athleticism involved) and thought I could play for a little while, but it made me too nervous that a ball could hit me or someone would run into me, so I stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-different-when-you-are-ttc#post-1677882 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:57:16 +0000 kiddosc 1677882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't change a whole lot. I watched what I ate in an effort to lose a little weight and maybe control some minor insulin resistance. But I still drank, still ate foods that are taboo in pregnancy, still worked out and participated in activities. You never know how long TTC will take. If it takes a while I think it's only made harder by the fact that you've placed so many restrictions on yourself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-different-when-you-are-ttc#post-1677849 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:50:15 +0000 snowjewelz 1677849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really change anything. In fact I was on vacation when I got my BFP and was drinking way more than normal lol! </p> <p>I would consult your OB regarding sports. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-different-when-you-are-ttc#post-1677837 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:48:37 +0000 MrsBrewer 1677837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm new to this game here.....hahahah and I might have some silly/stupid questions! But that's okay right?</p> <p>What did you change lifestyle wise when you were TTC? Did you change the food you ate (ex. did you avoid foods that you are supposed to avoid in pregnancy), no alcohol, etc?</p> <p>I definitely haven't done any of those. But I'm wondering if I should start thinking about it? I play on a sand volleyball league every Tuesday night also, and I was wondering if I would happen to get a :bfp: should I continue to play? Just play conservatively maybe? So many unknowns! hahaha </p>
