What to do before TTC

[ThedementedPenguin]

Hello everyone,

So this will be my first time TTC, I have a nearly 9 month old ds. So what do I need to know before I start? Anyone got any tips?

I just stopped the pill yesterday so I'm awaiting Af when ever it will come. So I'm just trying to get organised now.

Do I need to change diet, I am planning on joining a gym for there weight loss programme as I need to lose at least a stone and want to sort out my split stomach muscle.

Thanks if you have read this far. So anyone any words of wisdom?

Folic acid and Clearblue Ovulation Tests.. I would also DTD everynight for fertile period - though was advised every other by GP... good luck ;)

Take folic acid
Eat healthy
Exercise
Cut back on booze and fags
Have lots of sex

Good luck!

Would the pregnacare tablets be okay? I have a lot left over from last pregnancy, is it the same?

The pregnacare tablets are fine as long as they they the rda colic acid. If you want more Sainsbury's currently have them on 3 for 2.

As the others her said really if you smoke quit, cut down on drinking, exercise and just get as healthy as you can be.

Good Luck xx

I would say try fertility charting..try to track your cycles and record all your symptoms. You will learn a lot about your body and feritlity! I'm using ovufriend (ovufriend.com - it's free), but there is also FF (not that good in my opinion but you can try too).

I'm sorry, but when I read your thread title I instantly thought 'get waxed and get some sexy undies' :D
Others have offered much better advice than me. :)
