Finally pg after detox program!!
Hi All,
Close friends of ours just announced they are 3 months preg after 2 & a half years of TTC naturally. They swear that what finally did it was the detox program they both went on a month before they conceived. Most of you have probably seen/heard of it before- the brand is called 'Quick Cleanse' and it is available from most health shops and pharmacies in either a 7 day or 15 day pack. (They did the 15 day one). It's not a severe one- they were able to eat 3 healthy meals a day with snacks in between- although i believe there are quite a few supplements and herbal things to take.
Just thought I would mention it here, because well, lets face it- anything is worth a try right? On the plus side they both also lost around 5 kilos- always good when you're about to get as big as you will probably ever get!!
Babydust to all!!

PS- If you thinkin of trying this make sure your dp does it with you!! No point turning your womb into a greenhouse when dp's sperm is sluggish with booze and other rubbish!!
Weightloss & Detox for Conception
Hi prettybutterfly,
Yes- I'm sure that weight loss is definitely a factor which helps conception, and also the herbs are known to have a regulating effect on the hormones, among other things. Proponents of detox argue that when the body is inundated with toxins, conception is difficult because the bodily organs are working overtime trying to eliminate the toxins, and would not be able to support a pregnancy as well. Also, the body has a natural defence mechanism which wants to protect an unborn child from being exposed to these toxins (pesticides in food, heavy metals in water etc), so the body will not allow conception to occurr until the prospective parents have purged their bodies of stored toxins. Makes sense when you think about it....!!
