    Water....?

    Has anyone noticed a relationship between the amount of water they drink and how quickly they become pregnant? (notice I said WATER, not just how much you drink.... )
    It took us 16 months to conceive DD1. 19 months for DD2. A while after DD2 was born, I went on a weight loss kick, and drank a lot of water. And became pregnant about a month later. And then again about a year after DD3, I tried to lose weight, drank lots of water and immediately became pregnant again. Now, DD4 is almost 6 months. I figured the water drinking/pregnancy thing must be just my imagination or coincidence. Probably more to do with weaning, etc. So I started trying to lose some baby weight and increased my water intake again and began to exercise. DD4 is still breastfeeding, although she does sleep through the night. Surprise surprise, I'm pregnant again! (we've never used birth control. Another baby, while a bit of a surprise, will be welcomed and loved by both of us)

    Has anyone else noticed this? I usually don't drink much of anything - just not thirsty. I have to force myself to drink water generally. Is there a relationship between your chances of conception and how well hydrated you are?

    Congratulations scarypinkfairy & Cricket on your that is wonderful news!

    I have not heard of water being a trick to ttc but it's just so important to y our health all round so I guess it would help with reproduction. I drink at least 2 ltrs a day and have done for years. I was pregnant 4 times in 2009 so I guess it's good for getting pregnant.

    Not sure about the water either, although now that I'm thinking about it, I was drinking more water when DS was concieved in a bid to be healthier and lower my very high cholesterol lol
    I've been drinking HEAPS of water again this month, so keep your fingers and toes crossed for me ladies!

    And congrats to everyone who got BFP's too!!!
