Does anyone have a cleanse / fast to recommend before TTC? I've stopped drinking and lowered my caffeine in take for a few weeks. I'd like to do some kind of fast or cleanse before TTC (31 years old first child- dh is 35.) any suggestions besides 'folic acid' welcome! tx [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Take FloraVital ( by Salushaus) it's a liquid herbal/iron supplement and is amazing; There is no constipation and it's amazing in elevating your red cell count; everything circulates well and it's very well absorbed. You can get it at Fairway in the vitamin section or in most good natural food stores. Flordix is found more readily and is identical to Floravital with the exception of the yeast it contains; I went w/ the Floravital to avoid the yeast. My ob & my midwife approved it to replace pre-natal vitamins-which made me feel so gross. Check it out; I found it before pregnancy, to supplement my iron. I'm vegetarian and extremely physically active, so I can attest to the really quick results. [ Reply | More

if you're only 31 there's no need to go nuts. I drank through ttc up until bfp and had no problems. Some studies show you are more likely to get pregnant if you drink moderately, because you're more likely to have sex. [ Reply | More
