It took me almost a year to conceive, and finally after my C-section delivery last year I can tell u that patience is the most important thing. Don't rush your body, eat healthy and just let nature do its work. Your little one will come at the perfect time.
Actually even I am planning to start trying from next month! I have been reading so much online about folic acid and ovulation days. Do we really need to stop drinking tea and coffee completely, or is cutting down enough?
Beta, don't take stress, that is the biggest enemy. Try eating warm, homemade food and maybe a spoon of pure ghee with warm milk at night. But do show a good doctor once to see if everything is fine, okay?
Oh god, I remember how anxious I was when trying, I used to test 5 days before my period was even due! My advice is to try keeping busy because thinking about it 24/7 just increases cortisol which makes it harder. Sending u lots of positive vibes, hope u get your good news soon.
I totally understand how stressful this waiting game can be, every month feels like a year. Just hold your husband's hand and stay positive, dear. Your beautiful dream of motherhood will come true very soon, my prayers are with you.
We also got married recently and are hoping to start our family soon, so I completely understand your feelings. I feel a bit shy discussing this with everyone, but tracking my cycle on an app has been quite helpful. Let's hope for the best for both of us!
Tracking ovulation is key, u can use those simple strips from the pharmacy to find your fertile days. Also both husband and wife should do basic blood tests like thyroid and Hb. My husband is a doctor and he always says keeping stress low is 50% of the work.
Honestly, please go to a good gynac first for a basic checkup. In my case, we kept trying on our own and delayed it, only to find out there were minor blocks later. It is always better to get scans done first so u don't waste precious time.
Amma always told me to eat soaked almonds and organic ragi daily for strength. But along with these home habits, we made sure to consult our doctor for tracking egg growth. A balanced approach of elders' wisdom and medicine worked beautifully for me.
I am currently 5 months pregnant and remember we tried for almost 8 months before this. I wanted to ask, did any of u try those special leg up the wall exercises after intimacy? I did that the month I got pregnant, but not sure if it was just a coincidence or it actually helped.
If you are planning to conceive, start checking hospital packages and basic fertility tests first because some labs charge a lot. Getting a good health insurance before getting pregnant is also a smart move so you don't feel the pinch later. Start planning your savings from now only.
With my PCOS, I thought conceiving would be impossible but healthy diet changes and mild walking helped a lot. Please don't lose hope, but do keep a check on your cycle length. Try to consult a doc early just to get some gentle guidance instead of trying blindly.
