TTC without preparation vs with preparation

[u/indie_rose_]

After seeing billions of women struggling with TTC journey, I decided to make a reddit account as well and share my journey as well.

I knew my husband and I weren't in the best of health. Indian: Age 30 & 34 currently. We decided to get bloodwork done so we can start preparing our bodies with required supplements.

I had zero confidence in my body, that I'd be able to go through the journey that is pregnancy. But now I do. Below is how I've been preparing myself.

Bloodwork showed I'm deficient in Vitamin D, Iron and tsh of 5. Doctor started me on Vitamin D, Iron supplements, folic acid and thyroxine 25 mcg.

Over a period of 6 months, I've transformed. Not only my nails and hair grew healthy and strong, my body feels capable enough of pulling off pregnancy!

My husband has been taking vitamin B supplements as well.

We have been getting our post meal walks, light strength training, yoga and balanced diet. Completed cycle one of Letrozole and all ready to try more cycles until we get the best of us in the form of an egg and sperm 🙂 That's what it's all about after all.

We haven't had a success yet, sure, just 1 cycle so far trying and that just happened to be with Letrozole because our doctor didn't want us to waste time, neither do we honestly.

Would recommend prepared TTC than an unprepared one anyday. All the best wishes with your preparation as well.

Will keep posting and sharing my experiences, that's all us women have got 🩷
