Been trying for 6 cycles, am now waiting for a positive ov test - had one last month on day 16 of a 24 day cycle - day 16 tomorrow and no EWCM yet.

Anyway - have been taking a pregnancy vitamin, B6, drinking lots of water and cutting down on tea and alcohol.

Also eating

Sunflower seeds
Yoghurt
more fruit - a banana a day
leafy vegetables

what else should I eat?

I've heard that Evening Primrose Oil helps balance hormones and encourages cm, so I'm taking this. I'm not sure if this has ANY grounding in science - you might want to do some research - but I just thought that it certainly can't do any harm, so I might as well.

Judging by the teen pg rates Id say you're better off switching to alcopops! xx

beanz, I found a good site a while ago which listed a few fertility foods for him/her. If I can find it again I will paste the link. (think it was something like www.goodtoknow) xx

It mkes you wonder how so many people conceive after a drunken one-nighter, doesn't it?

And PP, I'm sorry but any article that tells you cut out chocolate can't be good for you! lol!
