Directions to any posts for TTC tips?

[Eggfreezing36]

Hi all,

I posted here a few years ago when I was egg freezing and single at 37 - a tough year. I got some really good support here and logging on everyday really made me feel I wasn't alone.

As luck would have it, I met a wonderful man age 38 and I just turned 39 last month and he has agreed we can start trying/do away with contraception which I am so happy about.

I had 5.4 pmol AMH when I was 37, so fast forward 2 years later and I am a heavy drinker, so god knows what it is now. I also have an underactive thyroid which I know impacts.

In terms of trying to conceive tips, I have read it all starts with the egg and a friend recommended the Zita West supplements.

Are there any pinned posts with top tips on anything else I can try?

Hi. A lot of people recommend the book “It starts with the Egg’ so maybe look into this if you haven’t already.

As I understand it, AMH being low is more of an issue if you are collecting eggs as you would be less likely to respond well to the stims. However I note that you already have some of your own eggs frozen so this may not really apply to your situation. If you are TTC naturally, there is a good chance that you will still release an egg every month so perhaps look into to ovulation tracking methods?

I also think that the biggest positive impact will be ditching the alcohol way before you try to conceive- I swear this is the only reason that I was successful after 3 losses.

Wishing you the best of luck with your journey xx

Thank you, yes I've ordered the Zita West supplements, Clearblue ovulation tracker and going to start exercising (I am slim but haven't worked out for years). Alcohol is an issue, me and my partner drink a lot - so that's going to be the challenge. Hoping a few drinks a week is still OK?!
