We are probably starting next month, since I have an annual GYN/preconception checkup then. Do your prenatals contain DHA/Omega 3? That's something my doctor recommended.<br /> It sounds like you guys are way on top of things! We are big planners too, but part of that is out of necessity since I have PCOS and irregular cycles. Wishing you a quick and smooth journey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-ttc#post-85071 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:58:53 +0000 Ardently 85071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Haha, ok, we'll get right on that! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-ttc#post-85069 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:56:13 +0000 oliviaoblivia 85069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Start practising the baby dance! ;)</p> <p>Sounds like you are on the right track. Good luck to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-ttc#post-85058 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:43:29 +0000 Ardently 85058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since we hope to start TTC very soon (like June/July), we're taking this time to prepare. Pre-TTC stage, I guess you could say.</p> <p>I've started taking prenatals, and I lost some weight and I'm at my ideal weight now. We improved our diet (added more raw foods, reduced refined foods), and I quit drinking coffee (except the occasional decaf). We don't drink or smoke, so that wasn't an issue. </p> <p>I got a prenatal checkup done, full blood work and urinalysis done - everything was peachy. The only thing I have left on my list is a dentist's appointment to make sure everything is good.</p> <p>I started keeping track of my cycles (I'm not temping yet, but I will if we don't get pregnant right away).</p> <p>We've started plenty of baby research and started saving money for baby gear.</p> <p>Is there anything else that we should be doing to prepare? </p>
