I'm really nervous because I am very convinced we are pregnant this month so I am avoiding:
Strenuous activity as much as possible (a little nervous even about rocking our friends 20 pound 7 month old to sleep for her nap which I know is ridiculous).
Caffeine, alcohol or any stimulants or NSAIDS (for what is worth I did drink a bit during the TWW with our son. I didn't know I wa pregnant.
Chemicals and processed foods (I try to avoid this anyway but especially now).
What do you avoid?

The only thing I really avoided was caffeine but I was already doing that because I didn't want to have to give it up cold turkey when I did get pregnant. I cut way back on alcohol but I still did have wine during the TWW. Fx this is your month mama!

I avoided alcohol, advil, and caffeine.
I less focused on what I wanted to avoid and instead on what I wanted to add.

Nothing...I'm a drink till it's pink kind of gal.
I would have drove myself nuts. We tried for a year and a half with losses in between until I got my BFP with LO.

I didn't avoid anything... I read somewhere the baby doesn't attach to the uterus till at least 4 weeks so stuff you drink/eat won't get sent through?

@bushelandapeck: thank you!!! I'm so excited o find out what you are having!
@snowjewelz: baby attaches during implantation at around 6-10DPO but you don't share with baby until the placenta is formed. I'm more just thinking about things that might disrupt implantation.
@2PeasinaPod: I hear that! Most months I am pretty blasé but since I have a weird feeling this month I am upping the ante. Otherwise I am usually pretty casual too.

Nothing! Both times I got pregnant, I drank a bottle of wine (spread over multiple days, I'm not a complete lush 
) during the TWW!

Only alcohol. I drink caffeine in moderation (even when pregnant and bf within the recommended limits) so I watch that a little more closely.

Just Advil. It's not worth the depriavtion around other stuff (give me all the wine, sushi, and caffeine because I might have to limit soon!!!!).

@septca: @Littlebit: Right there with you ladies!!
I only stop strenuous activity bc I'm paranoid about straining or disrupting.

@septca: this exactly (with sushi and alcohol)!!
I avoid Advil, and have given up coffee during the TWW. I try to limit caffeine consumption in general now, our MC really scared me.

I avoid all medicines. (But I do that most all the time anyways.) Otherwise nothing else!

Nothing.
I love my morning coffee and Ithought there was a "safe" limit. I avoided caffeine with dd and I don't think I had to.

@MrsMccarthy: I avoid it all, granted my TWW are caused by IUI so I don't want to know it didn't work due to me, but if not I try to be good too!!!!

But yeah - nothing. Drink til it's pink.

alcohol, advil, and I've been limiting my caffeine to one can a day. But I'm also a worrier.
