Their free lessons basically tell you the exact same stuff TCOYF does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-couple-questions-about-ttc#post-1059264 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 18:10:06 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1059264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Becksabee: you can also learn about charting on Fertilityfriend.com </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-couple-questions-about-ttc#post-1059263 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 18:09:29 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1059263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Becksabee: did you read the book WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE YOURE EXPECTING? it's all about PRE conception. its not the same as What to Expect WHEN youre expecting. just FYI </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-couple-questions-about-ttc#post-1059261 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 18:08:18 +0000 Mrs. J 1059261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with the go off BCP asap. Charting (temping) will give you a really good idea of when you ovulate, so you'll be prepared come January.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-couple-questions-about-ttc#post-1059260 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 18:08:18 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1059260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: yes preseed is safe of course heheh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-couple-questions-about-ttc#post-1059174 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 17:11:25 +0000 Pink Champagne 1059174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Taking Charge of your Fertility will teach you literally everything you need to know about charting. Knowing when you ovulate and all of the signs will give you the best chance in timing it right so that you can be efficient with your baby making ;).</p> <p>Also, I hope your soon to be husband is joking about the wedding night baby (or at least I hope that's just a "We're so excited and want to have a baby right away" kind of thing) because your wedding night might not correspond with your cycle that way. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-couple-questions-about-ttc#post-1058909 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 13:23:48 +0000 Becksabee 1058909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should have mentioned that I'm already taking a prenatal. :happy: I never stopped taking it after I had my first baby. </p> <p>I read What to Expect during my first pregnancy, but I will check out Taking Charge of your Fertility. </p> <p>I would love to hear more about charting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-couple-questions-about-ttc#post-1058819 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 12:13:31 +0000 swedishfish 1058819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: except for pre seed! That's safe to use while TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-couple-questions-about-ttc#post-1058817 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 12:12:09 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1058817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto on the BCP and prenatal ASAP. I also recommend you read What to expect Before you're expecting and perhaps taking charge of your fertility. Also make sure not to use any lube as most if it kills sperm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-couple-questions-about-ttc#post-1058803 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 12:03:21 +0000 Cherrybee 1058803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, Id come off the BCP and start charting now so you can time it just right! Also, go on a really good holiday. Are you going on honeymoon? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-couple-questions-about-ttc#post-1058801 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 12:01:19 +0000 swedishfish 1058801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would stop birth control soon and start taking prenatal vitamins immediately. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-couple-questions-about-ttc#post-1058785 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 11:42:45 +0000 sslm 1058785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would stop bc now if I were you, and use other forms of protection. It took my body a really long time to normalize after being on the pill! I'd also start a prenatal now :). Are you interested in chatting so you know when you ovulate? </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-couple-questions-about-ttc#post-1058773 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 11:25:08 +0000 Becksabee 1058773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're getting married in beginning January, and planning on TTC (our 2nd baby) immediately after. My finance wants a wedding night baby. </p> <p>I'm just wondering if there's anything I need to before that point in time. I know I'd really like to get the apartment in really good condition the next couple of months, so I won't have to worry about that later.</p> <p>Also, wondering how far ahead should I stop my birth control. </p>
