Water: Trying To Conceive

Hydration plays an important role in trying to conceive for both men and women. According to Healthy Women.org article, Fertility Boosting Foods on page 4,"If you don't drink enough water, your cervical fluid becomes sluggish. The same goes for a man's ejaculate fluid" (Fertility Boosting Foods). 


According to What to Eat to Conceive, an article featured on parenting.com, "You want to avoid alcohol during your follicular phase.  During this phase your body is working hard to develop a dominant follicle and estrogen levels are on the rise. Alcohol affects hormone balance, and is dehydrating. The loss of water in the body may make cervical mucus too thick" (Pautrel).

Implantation Dips & Raised BBT

An Implantation Dip is when your basal body temperature (BBT) dips below your cover line post ovulation, usually said to occur around 7 to 9 days pass ovulation on average and then continues to rise without falling below the cover line again. 3 to 5 days pass ovulation for implantation dips is said to be rare.  Some believe implantation dips are myths, because of varying results in dips and outcomes for pregnancy.  Usually it is said when your BBT stays above your cover line without dipping below the cover line, it is a sign that you're pregnant.   This is just a theory, but it seems for some early implantation dips, may lead to earlier positive pregnancy tests. The exception to early implantation dips theory I have found is that  some women get early positive pregnancy tests as a result of having a multiples pregnancy, some women gets dips in many of their cycles that do not result in pregnancy and some women like me don't get dips during a c...
