Listen to your body: Eat 6 equal healthy meals, relax and breathe, and move for 10 minutes after each meal rather than workouts. Monitor vaginal mucous and when mucous strings from thumb to forefinger have intercourse. Avoid Claritin (loratadine) and take vit C with bioflavanoids and avoid dairy, wheat, and sugar to lower allergy symptoms.

Pre pregnancy diet: Dieting while trying to conceive is healthy as long as the diet is balanced with the right amount of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Most women need at least 1200 calories per day. Make sure your prenatal vitamin contains at least 500 mg of Folic Acid daily. Achieving a healthy weight helps with fertility and decreases complications during pregnancy.
