Any advice on conceiving i.e. best diet, continue same level of ft exercise etc. or are there some to avoid? I know it may differ once your pregnant but what about the best things for getting pregnant. I am a sensible weight for my height according to the charts. My only worry would be to risk losing early on because of not realising if I'd conceived when I desparately want a child. This is the only reason I wouldn't mind expanding or putting on weight ;o) It's one of the reasons I'm trying to keep as fit as possible. Have had a struggle so want everything in my favour for conceiving.

Fortyhall I have no idea how or why weight affects ability to conceive but I can tell you that I have 3 children and gained about 10lbs slowly before conceiving each one. I didn't gain the weight on purpose but did notice that it preceeded each pregnancy. Gain a few pounds, relax and have lots of fabulous sex, you'll get pregnant.

make sure you are immune to rubella and take 400micrograms folic acid every day. Make sure mr fortyhall doesn't smoke (or you for that matter)

and, as anni says, relax and have lots of sex :)

I too am desperately trying to conceive but haven't had any success at it since my last miscarriage two years ago.I can very much relate to you and yourdetermination.Unfortunately the only thing that we both can do is to keep trying,unless you plan to spend a fortune to make it happen.Good luck my prayers go out to you.:big_smile:

I like Annie gained 10lbs (not intentional) before I got pregnant everytime. I had a very hard time getting (years) & keeping pregnant miscarried 3x early delivery 1x and finally 2 babies...folic acid before pregnancy,exercise, well balanced diet, no alcohol or drugs for either of you. I swear if his jewels are cold it works :big_smile: But seriously every time I was successful at pregnancy it involved him being cold. I wish you both all the luck. I remember what it was like.......
