Goofie,
bring a stool with u into the toilet. sit on the stool and file yr soles can or not? those kind of plastic stool u find at the coffee shop.
usually bird's nest, cordyceps etc herbs ppl will advise 4-5 mths preggie then start. 1st tri better to just keep it simple, dun too 'bu'. for my #1, that's wat i did, waited until abt 5mths, but for #2 cos was thro ivf, i started taking all these even before my cycle started so i just continued even after bfp.
TTCingBB,
for me i didn't really do that much preparation during cycle. i took black chicken soup with cordyceps and paosheng or bird's nest with pao sheng alternate once a wk. once in awhile take wolfberry + red dates tea. supplements wise i only took folic acid.
i'm not the best eg cos i really didn't do much.
some sistas here take stuff like manuka honey, royal jelly, COQ, brazil nuts, ensure milk etc etc
