Girls preparing for TTC

We had a post like this awhile back but I wanted to check in to see how everyone is doing that is getting ready to start TTC - what has everyone been doing besides taken prenatal vitamins?

Re: Girls preparing for TTC

Well this is me, we are going to TTC this summer. Besides vitamins, I am attempting to improve my diet and exercise more. My bff has a daughter, but when trying for her second she has mc ed twice. Her doctor said she had low progesterone. He told her more exercise and less sugar could help. She's like a size 2, so I figured it could really help me. LOL! I also need to start temping and charting.

Re: Girls preparing for TTC

We are on our 3rd cycle, so I am doing a little more than when I first started- but here is my list (in addition to prenatals)

-Taking DHA
-Down to one cup of coffee 3x a week
-Cut out all soda
-Exercising 3 days a week
-Working on losing weight
-decreased salt/sugar intake
-OPKs & using FF

Re: Girls preparing for TTC

I am taking vitamins, on WW hoping to lose a few pounds and just following my cycle on FF. I am not temping yet because I know I would drive my self crazy analyzing every little detail. However I am not against it in a few months from now!! Good luck everyone

Re: Girls preparing for TTC

We are starting next month.

I have been taking prenatals and folic acid since december.

I have used OPK's the past few months to learn when I am O'ing

I just started temping this month

I work out 5 days a week

Cut back on alcohol

and eat more natural foods, less processed food

Re: Girls preparing for TTC

honestly if u just take care of yourself and your body their really isnt anything major...take vitamins if u havent already and RELAX (which is harder said then done)

Re: Girls preparing for TTC

I'm taking prenatals and went for some genetic testing. Other than that, nothing special.

Re: Girls preparing for TTC

i'm taking vitamins but thats only bc I miscarried and the dr told me to keep taking them. I got PG without taking any vitamins on our 3rd time trying. As long as you're healthy you should be ok.

Many women don't change their diets until after their BFPs.

Re: Girls preparing for TTC

We're going to be trying by late spring/early summer.

We both got full physicals, bloodwork and dental check ups in November.

I already work out and eat a healthy diet, don't smoke, and lmiit alcohol (which is mainly wine for me).

I take One a Day Prenatals.

I quit caffeine and limited diet soda.

I think that's all at this point that I/We can be doing.

My OB/GYN thinks we should be fine getting pregnant, and to figure it will take about 6 months.

Re: Girls preparing for TTC

I had all my checkups needed (except dermotologist. I still want to do that) and started to work out and take prenatal vitamins. We offically started TTC this month

Re: Girls preparing for TTC

We're going to start this summer.

I'm taking prenatals and trying to get off a few more pounds. I'm starting to cut back on alcohol. Also tracking my cycles on FF. What to Expect Before You're Expecting also suggested taking care of any dental work before you get pg, so I'm going to take care of that this spring.
