    ✨Here are gentle and practical self-care tips when trying to conceive (TTC):

    ✨Nourish Your Body Wisely
    Eat balanced meals rich in whole foods — think leafy greens, healthy fats, lean protein, and iron-rich foods.

    Good nutrition supports your hormones and overall reproductive health.
    .
    .
    ✨Stay Hydrated:
    Water supports cervical mucus quality and helps your body function at its best aim for at least 1.5–2L a day.
    .
    .
    ✨Track, But Don’t Obsess:
    Keep an eye on your cycle if it helps you feel in control — but give yourself grace.

    Apps and tests are tools, not tests of worth.
    .
    .
    ✨Move with Love:
    Gentle exercise like walking, yoga, or dancing can reduce stress and support hormonal balance.

    Overdoing it can have the opposite effect — find what feels good.
    .
    .
    ✨Protect Your Mental Space:
    Limit comparisons and take breaks from fertility forums or social media when needed.

    Your journey is unique and valid.
    .
    .
    ✨Rest Without Guilt:
    TTC can be emotionally exhausting.

    Rest is productive. Sleep well, nap when needed, and be kind to your energy.
    .
    .
    ✨Make Time for Joy:
    Do things that light you up outside of fertility hobbies, laughter, date nights, nature walks.

    You are more than your TTC journey.
    .
    .
    ✨Limit Caffeine & Alcohol:
    Moderation is key.

    Too much of either can affect fertility, so aim to reduce if you’re able.
    .
    .
    ✨Be Kind to Yourself:
    Some days will feel hopeful, others heavy. All are okay.

    Speak to yourself gently, as you would to a friend.
