FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

These are what my friends have suggested so I could get pregnant:


- Fertility drugs do not start right away. It takes around 8-9 months before a foliicle which is immature becomes ripe for ovulation.

- After 2 days of abstinenece, sperm quality and its quantity improves. However, after 10 days, the count and quality diminishes.

- Don't stress yourself too much of getting pregnant. It's a factor for not getting pregnant at all. That's why I'm not pressured (but I am at times, LOL!)
- Grapejuice is good for those wanting to get pregnant


Everyone is welcome to add more! :D

HEALTHY = FERTILE ??? NO

There's this myth saying that if you're physically fit and healthy, chances are your fertility is perfect. But this is not true. My OB told me that regardless of how fit and healthy a woman may be, her eggs will surely decline with age. Being healthy will give you a healthy pregnancy, but it's no way related to fertility. Whew!

I will take note of this. My sister has some fertility issues and has been trying to conceive for the longest time.

I still believe that eating little and maintaining the right blood sugar levels will avoid too much adrenalin. Adrenalins block progesterone. The more adrenalin present, the less chances of getting pregnant may occur.

These might also help in boosting fertility

Choose brown wholefoods for the zinc found in them. 80% of Zincs in refined foods are removed.

Drink lots of water to get rid of toxins. :)

If you are religious, I have read on the internet that there are places where devout Catholics go for a pilgrimage or something. Personally, I doubt if it works. :confused:

Really? Where?? Come on, share it please!!! :)

Re: FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

After having sex better not to stand immediately so you can be sure that the sperm could reach your egg.

Re: FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

Well... Africans have fertility statues. Catholics have St. Clare and St. Anne...

I have more trust on the Indians... KAMA SUTRA! :p

Re: FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

How come I don't get pregnant albeit trying that almost everyday? LOL :D

Re: FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

Can't help but agree. As you all know hubby and I are both trying for our 2nd baby. It's difficult coz I have PCOS. So I really have to watch my diet and take my meds regularly so as to put RED light to my PCOS and a GREEN one for our second baby!! :)

Re: FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

Oooooh! LOL Perhaps you have to do it even more? or lesser? Well, they say the sperm quality is better or more (I cannot really remember) if you spend a day or two without. :p

Re: FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

Well, I have read on the internet that some positions in Kama Sutra are really good to have a baby... that is, it makes the sperm like able to flow inside properly or somethin' :p

Re: FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

Ooooh... is that true? Then perhaps frequency is the reason why I got pregnant! LOL :p

Re: FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

I guess another tip is that to be least expecting it so as not to jinx it.

Re: FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

Sometimes that is true! When the least you expect it, that's when it happens

Re: FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

You got it! Let's just give our best, expect less. That way we enjoy the ride! ;)

Re: FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

Mmmm... Excuse me... If I may ask... is there a pun somewhere in "enjoy the ride!"? :p

Re: FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

Well it could work both ways - on a literal and figurative meaning. ;)

Re: FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

Way to go Abana! That made me laugh. And I could so relate to the former interpretation. :p

Re: FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

Tsk Tsk Tsk! No wonder people are getting pregnant on this site! LOL

Re: FACTS/TIPS (or MYTHS) if you wanna be a mum!
 

Enjoy the ride indeed!!! :D
