[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is she actually doing. What did she cut out? [/quote]

OP here. She read a book called “ It Starts With The Egg” and has been following advice in there.she had cut out all things like caffeine, alcohol, sugar, etc. She drinks caffeine maybe once a week ( green tea) and has 1-2 glasses of wine 1-2x a month. We are not big drinkers. I will have a beer or a glass of wine once a week.

She switched out all of our skincare - shampoo, body wash, lotions, etc., She switched out all of her makeup. She switched out the laundry detergent, hand soap, dish soap, house cleaners, no plastic wrap, etc. We started doing things like super nutrient dense smoothies and juicing for “ extra nutrients”. She also said using the microwave isn’t healthy.

I’m still supportive. I just wasn’t expecting expecting this. I can see if it’s been 1+ year of trying, but it’s only been two months. It’s not that long.[/quote]

Surprise! Some of those things can actually be an issue for fertility. That doesn’t mean that it is but if it makes her feel better to eliminate those things from your life, what’s the issue? Think of it as pre-nesting. [/quote]

OP here. I know it can and I don’t mind doing it all. I said that I didn’t mind it. I don’t like the mechanical sex, rigid schedules, and the fact that I feel there is no fun in it. I want her and I both to look back on it and remember it as a fun and happy time conceiving our first child. Not a stressed out situation. I also know the stress is not good for her. I want to be supportive and encouraging, while still keeping some level of sanity in the process. [/quote]

So make it fun.

Demanding she make things fun for you isn’t fair, and it’s not going to work. Put in the effort to make it fun and happy. [/quote]
