The Good Experience

Before you start trying to have a baby, or if you have been trying and have been unsuccessful, pay attention to the following 4 critical tips and ensure you’re following them:

1. Stop Taking the Birth Control Pill: This is kind of a no-brainer.  Waituntill the end of the cycle, and dont take it any more.  If you have a UID, have it removed.  If you are/were on the Deep-Provera shot, you may have to wait up to 10 months before its completely out of your system.
2. Stop Smoking: Another seemingly obvious one, but you’d be surprised how many women continue to smoke despite failed conception attempts.  The stress from the initial shock of quitting may impact your body’s ability to conceive, so don’t feel bad if it doesn’t happen right away.  Expect 2 to 3 months before your body gets over it.
3. Reduce Stress: HUGE one right here! I believe this is ultimately 99% of the reason i was able to eventually conceive.  I put SO MUCH pressure on myself, and when there was a brief break in the stress, thats when it happened for me.
4. Manage Weight: Get yourself to a “healthy” weight for your height and body type.  Everyone’s different so you should speak to your doctor if you’re unsure.  I wouldn’t necessarily follow the online BMI charts as there are many more factors involved in determining YOUR healthy weight that will get you ready to have a baby.
