My husband and I are trying for baby #2. Is there anything I can do to I can do to increase the chances?

Question

Other than charting my ovulation? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Answer 1

1. Maintain a healthy weight (and lose weight, if you’re overweight).

2. Avoid trans fat. Trans fat is typically found in stick margarine, fried foods and hydrogenated oil.

3. Stop eating excessive sugar and refined carbohydrates.

4. Consume more protein from vegetables rather than from animals. Good sources of vegetable protein include beans (all types) and lentils.

5. Eat fiber-rich foods. Best sources of fiber include vegetables, fruit and whole grains.

6. Consider taking a standard multivitamin.

7. Exercise every day for at least 30 minutes.

8. Consume one daily serving of full-fat dairy (i.e., 1 cup whole milk, full-fat yogurt, or 1-2 ounces cheese). That’s because a recent report showed full-fat dairy may help increase fertility in women more so than low-fat/nonfat dairy. That said, full-fat dairy is loaded with calories and saturated fat, thus I recommend you make only ONE of your daily servings full fat.  

Bottom line: Lose weight if you’re overweight, make smart food choices and exercise regularly — these lifestyle factors may help you become more fertile if you’re experiencing problems with ovulation.

Lots of baby dust to you & hubby! <3

Answer 2

Just know when you ovulate and know when your period is comming. Have s*x all the time if you dont care which gender you will have next but you can choose. If you would like to choose like me then type in "gender swaying for a girl/boy" and you can see all you can do to better your odds for that gender. Good luck and I hope it all works out for you! :)

Answer 3

Been TTC # 2 for 9th month (Got BFP this morning). Each month, I would BD every other day & put a pillow under my bottom until the next day but AF came on time. My husband started eating daily multi-vit 2 mths ago. In the last TTC, I put my feet against the wall after BD for 10 min or so & then pillow under my bottom until next morning & then legs against the wall again the the morning for another 10 min or so before getting out of bed.

I did not chart anything & BD every other day.
