Hey love! I take mom vitamins with fish oil and folic acid. My husband just takes a multivitamin, which he usually does anyway. We did try to eat healthily, but we still had a glass of wine now and then and enjoyed some treats occasionally. It’s supposed to be a cozy time, after all!

    Thanks Shanna, yes, it should stay cozy indeed. With healthy food you get far already. Is that a special multi for men? How long have you been at it? Xx

    I really do believe that everything works out, but I think you shouldn't exaggerate it or take it too hard. It comes when it comes. We were trying for baby number two for 20 months; normally, a healthy couple takes about half a year to a year to conceive. I think it's mainly important to stay relaxed, let things happen naturally, and try to think about it as little as possible. Leave those ovulation tests in the cupboard for the first few months and just have sex when you feel like it. I quit smoking at one point, started losing weight with the keto diet, etc. Then I started smoking again due to a pretty high stress factor, and then it happened... It's not exactly healthy, but it was a coincidence that it worked out that month. I also washed my intimate area with Chilly wash gel that month, which helps maintain a good pH balance in your genital area. No idea if it helped, but it's always worth trying. Often, it's just "the lucky shot".. Good luck with getting pregnant; you're definitely doing your best, but enjoy yourself from time to time. A glass of wine or a drink now and then can't really do any harm.

    So sweet, thank you Orchidea. I'll definitely do my best! And I have to be careful not to overdo it. And also realize that it can take a year. I'm 31 (in my head I feel a bit older) and now two friend couples are pregnant again. They say it was unexpected and so fast. That touches me a bit. Just a dip moment... 15th NOD and I tell myself not to expect it, then you won't be so disappointed. You're 33 weeks, how nice. Good luck with the last stretch. Xx

    You definitely need to watch out for that, because then you get too intense and too obsessed... I've experienced that myself, so try to enjoy it too

    Thank you! It'll definitely work out. In the end, it's all worth it and will definitely be great for you both!
