What sort of diet where you on with BFP?

I don't think it matters too much. I was on an absolute crap diet of junk when I got my BFP with Daniel and this time around I was eating healthy

I ate normally  (but I normally eat pretty healthily anyway), and started taking folic acid

Cut down on caffeine though (2 cups per day max) and pretty much stopped drinking completely. I never had more than 1-2 standard drinks per week, if that, when we were TTC.

Got my BFP pretty much within the 1st month of trying...

Coming from an animal production perspective, where there is lots of emphasis on getting cows/sheep pregnant at the right time, they say what is important is that they are NOT losing weight. Ideally, you want them to be gaining weight, but I'm not advocating you rush out and gain weight! Within reason, the actual weight is less important than the change.

Now, I know we are very different from cows and sheep (and I'm not trying to offend with the comparison), but it does make sense. If you are losing weight your body is not getting enough for its own demand, and it would not be in your interests (metabolically) to add more demand to your energy needs by getting pregnant. [Note - this is just a generalisation, I know plenty of people will have got pregnant whilst losing weight, but generally, it is less likely to than if their weight was stable]

So I don't think what you eat makes a big difference, unless its causing you to lose weight.

You have been losing weight for a while yeah? Maybe its time you stopped for a bit? xx

I was going to the gym 3-4 times a week (decent workouts too, heavy weights and cardio) when I got pregnant. Exercise is good, and you shouldn't stop once you get your BFP!

I'm not sure whether it has anything to do with it, but I was told I'd likely have problems getting pregnant. I was on a gluten free diet at the time (we didn't start ttc when I was eating gluten) but ended up getting pregnant within two months! Back on the gluten now though...

This is totally just my opinion.... take it or leave it :)

I think consistency is important in terms of your diet and lifestyle. And to find a rhythm you are comfortable with....

Exercise in moderation- keep it 'realistic'- because otherwise when the hormones kick in, and you start feeling crappy (if you do), you will struggle to be content at sleeping all day if you need, or blobbing on the couch, which you very well may need to do. Dont set yourself up for guilt trips. The exercise is good don't get me wrong....
Same with eating- You may not be able to eat what you do now once the hormones kick in- I got really depressed because I couldnt eat healthy, and well... I lost 3kg in 10 weeks (I only weighed 59kg) I was eating pizza and mashed potato, 2 min noodles, and pop tarts!

You can stress your body out by doing too much exercise if you didnt before, or if you lose/gain lots of weight, all of which could affect TTC. Just like psycological stress can.

I think relaxation is the key- if you feel good in yourself mentally and physically- its the best start.
