Preparing your body TTC

Did anyone do anything in preparation of TTC? I'm planning to start trying in February and wondered if there's anything I can do now to help my chances. I'm going to start taking folic acid but is there anything I can be taking or doing?

@catlover564 folic avid. I take iron, Vit M & Zinc (I think it's that).

I just had a google of best vitamins to take when TTC.

You can probably get them in a multi-vit. But I brought them separately on boots 3for2.

I take folic acid too. I'm also trying to improve my diet and my sleeping pattern. And get a bit more exercise. Just trying to be a bit healthier in general Smile

I was recommended to take Folic Acid, Omega, Vitamins B & D by a fertility consultant. Also CQ10 to promote egg health (as I'm a bit older...). Also told to avoid alcohol and cut down caffeine to half a coffee a day.
Husband (early 30s) recommended Zinc, Selenium, Vit B and to limit alcohol.
Good luck!

Ditto for CoQ10, and look into the absorption of everything. For example, forms of CoQ10 that are water and fat-soluble absorb better. Good luck!

I take CQ10 too, first month I took it I fell after trying for 12 months. That ended in a miscarriage but I've taken it again for my first cycle since and it appears I've fallen again.

Could be coincidence.

Get your other half to start taking wellman conception vitamins. I felt like this was really important and everyone always forgets about male preparation.

I took pre-pregnangy vitmains and cut down on my coffee intake to 2 cups a day. Gave me a headache at first but that just shows show addicted to it I was in the 1st place!

Are you on any Birth control ? I'd consider coming off and using other methods to let your af regulate x
