"Wake Me Up [and just] Go, Go"

By Rachel Rabkin Pechman on Wednesday, June 27, 6:00 am EDT

It's getting close to ovulation time, which means that we need to get this party started.

The problem: My husband has his annual work conference this week, which involves entertaining clients late into the night — for multiple nights in a row — well past my bedtime (and our window for sex). Plus, both of us need to get up early this week, so sex in the morning isn't an option either.

The solution: I told my husband last night that no matter what time he got home, he should wake me up and just do it. No questions asked. It was for the greater good.

So that's what he did. There was no time for pleasantries when he got in around 3am and tiptoed into the dark bedroom. And actually, I'm not even sure I fully woke up. Romantic it wasn't, but we got the job done. Yay us.

should i change my diet to increase my chances of conceiving

i am 20 years old, my husband and i have been married for almost a year. We have recently been talking about getting pregnant. i stopped taking birth control the second week in April. We want to wait until i have been off birth control for a few months before trying to get pregnant so i want to know what kind of changes i should make to my diet. I have gained about 15 pounds in the last year so i am looking to lose that and also start a healthy diet that will help me have a more healthy pregnancy and lose the baby weight faster after the baby is born. should i cut back on sugar or processed foods? i know i need to consume more fruits veggies and lean protein does ne one have more suggestions? thanks! :-)
