So, I've avoided all sorts of things while TCC (or in the TWW), seemingly to no avail.
Alcohol...check.
Sushi (esp. tuna)...check.
Hot tubs...check.
Household chemicals...check.
Strenuous exercise...check.
Gasoline fumes/exhaust...check.
Pesticides...check.
And then things just start getting weird. I've minimized exposure to various chemicals in plastics, chemical sunscreens, and to artificial fragrances (which may or may not contain phthalates). And I have tried to avoid carrying my cell phone close to my body and generally decrease use...although HB has not helped at all with that.
Let me be clear...I'm pretty sure most of these things (in normal, small to moderate amounts) are nothing to panic over. But sadly, my TTC/IF brain has hijacked some of my common sense and, in the interest of keeping the peace, I've gone along with it.
What have you have avoided while TTC? Do you think this was a mostly-rational decision? Or a crazy TTC impulse?
