Food?
Is anyone making a special effort to eat certain foods to help conceive? I've been obsessive about my 5 a day, and making sure I eat enough (am a skinny minny by nature) but wondered what the rest of you are doing? Is anyone avoiding caffeine? Everyone cutting down on booze?

i gave up caffeine a while back anyway and it is recommended to cut down/not have any during pregnancy so it is a good idea to try and cut down now whilst ttc anyway. as for alcohol, i'm not a big drinker either so i cut down a few months back (mainly so that my family wouldn't notice if i got pg and suddenly refused a glass of wine!) and i tended to not have any alcohol after ovulation. first day of AF i usually treat myself though!

Makes me laugh though cos I conceived my dd when I was smoking about 20 a day, drinking every weekend, eating junk food and swigging coffe all day lol

Am still drinking two cups of tea a day but reckon that is fairly okay. On the alcohol: am also treating myself to a glass of wine on AF days!
My mum's a midwife and I can see her watching me like a hawk when I turn down coffee and wine with dinner!

I do actually quite like not drinking, especially when I think it will up my chances of a bfp. x
You're lucky if you don't want them - that'll make it much easier. I am going to go for the decaff but am now worrying about my weight. Since stopping taking the pill, I have lost about half a stone (from just over seven stone) so am now really trying to make sure I put that back on!
