I dint receive any replies form you for htis.Was the question too wierd or absurd??
Sorry to bauther you,but u know how it feels right,WHEN ONE KEEPS TRYING and doesnt't want to do anything wrong this month.

Karishma replied. Dear Snowy,

I agree with Archie and wannanparents. You have to stay calm so that you do not allow stress to be a barrier.

It took 2 full years for me to conceive our first baby, although we both were very healthy. We did all fertility check tests.. everything turned out good, tried OPK and timed intercourse and did all that are possible. Nothing worked. Just 2 months before I conceived, we shifted our jobs and so we were happy and never thought about conception. Immediately I conceived, and it was a total surprise for us as we had intercourse just one day in that month, as we had relatives at home, the whole month ;-)

So Please stay calm and do not keep thinking about it. I know it is a bit difficult, as I myself have experienced that. We were constantly presurrised by relatives and so we were always thinking about it.. Once We just forgot about that..,that's when it really happened.. So Please stay calm..

Hope it helps..

Luv,
Karishma Archie replied. Dear Snowly,
Deep apologizes for not responding your earlier message. You sound really upset on me! Hope you can forgive me.

Dear, you don't have to take any precaution.
You can however, eat healthy, stay out of any addictions.
Try to eat diet that is rich in folic acid, iron. If needed take folic acid suppliment -ask your Dr. to prescribe.

In fact there is lot one can do or do nothing unless you know you are pregnant. It's normal part of life and no special care is needed before knowing you are pregnant. You will be tired after for 8 months ahead to worry on different concerns and to be careful while doing or eating anything.

You should enjoy life and most importantly don't think on ovulation or stuff a lot. Keep calm that's most important.

Thank you Wannabeparents to support me.

Good luck
Archei wannabparents replied. Hi,
Just hang in there. I don't think there is any restriction after ur ovulation. I know how u feel. I was like u when I started trying, but for the past couple of months I am jsut doing whatever I feel like. In the sense going out or eating whatever I want. I guess there is no special tips, one thing I would like to tell u is stay as calm as possible. Archie used to add this line in her advice to all. Staying calm helps to hit success soon....If u r stressing yourself, ur hormones will delay the process. Hope this helps. I was looking for an answer to ur previous question, then thought I will give my opinion on this.
