So exciting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-to-get-my-head-in-the-game#post-1874952 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 19:23:28 +0000 simplyfelicity 1874952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: Definitely have fun with it! That's what we are doing once I finally get my post D&amp;C AF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-to-get-my-head-in-the-game#post-1874409 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 12:49:31 +0000 cascademom 1874409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@getjazzy: I was just going to suggest this. Physical, dental, and OB all over trying. Pregnancy can really strip your body of calcium, so a calcium supplement is helpful. I broke a filling a month pp because my teeth were weak from pregnancy and then breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-to-get-my-head-in-the-game#post-1874374 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 12:36:08 +0000 IRunForFun 1874374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: That's our plan too. Just "see what happens" first, because I know I could get all anxious and OCD about it.</p> <p>I'm so excited for us! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-to-get-my-head-in-the-game#post-1874357 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 12:28:43 +0000 getjazzy 1874357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have a physical and a dental cleaning/check up just to make sure you're in good health. Dental health issues can affect fertility too and many dentists won't do procedures on pregnant women so you could have any issues be addressed before TTC.</p> <p>Hope your TTC experience is a pleasant one :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-to-get-my-head-in-the-game#post-1873880 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 08:43:37 +0000 Synchronicity 1873880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: thank you, such good advice! I am not planning on temping right away, I think that would stress me out. We are just going to pull the goalie and see what happens! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-to-get-my-head-in-the-game#post-1873708 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 00:34:15 +0000 simplyfelicity 1873708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yayyyyy! I am sure you have the basics down. I definitely prefer OPKS to temping. I really like the CBE regular digital OPKS. Try to make it as fun as possible. Oh and don't start DTD too early during your FW. Our first month, we started at like cd 8 and pretty much had to "beg" DH since we were so tired but I was determined. Can't wait to hear about your :bfp: ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-to-get-my-head-in-the-game#post-1873012 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 12:39:49 +0000 Synchronicity 1873012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: yayyyyy, I couldn't be more excited for you :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-to-get-my-head-in-the-game#post-1873003 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 12:35:02 +0000 IRunForFun 1873003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: Well, we agreed to "pull the goalie" in December, but I have loooong cycles, so that could put our first real chance into January. But somewhere in that time frame! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-to-get-my-head-in-the-game#post-1872996 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 12:30:49 +0000 Synchronicity 1872996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: ah yes I bought some cheapy opks and hpts a couple of months ago! Haha sitting in a drawer waiting to be peed on.... </p> <p>When are you guys thinking?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-to-get-my-head-in-the-game#post-1872992 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 12:28:49 +0000 IRunForFun 1872992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: Eeeek! And yay! I'm doing the exact same thing, sort of. I plan on getting prenatals when my current bottle of multi vits runs out in a week or so. I'm also doing what I have decided to call "pre-nesting" aka getting rid of crap we don't need and organizing our living space so that we could potentially bring another human being into it, lol. I'm thinking of ordering some cheapo opks and hpts from Amazon, too... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-to-get-my-head-in-the-game#post-1872980 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 12:20:24 +0000 Synchronicity 1872980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anutka: I have it and I've skimmed it but I need to pull it back out! Thank you for the reminder :happy: </p> <p>@fairy: haha Phew! Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-to-get-my-head-in-the-game#post-1872977 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 12:18:29 +0000 fairy 1872977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The half excited/half freaking out is definitely normal! Hehe Prenatals and eating better is a great start, Good luck ttc!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-to-get-my-head-in-the-game#post-1872974 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 12:17:49 +0000 Anutka 1872974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you haven't already, read Taking Charge of Your Fertility. That book is the bomb. </p> <p>Good luck :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-to-get-my-head-in-the-game#post-1872967 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 12:12:59 +0000 Synchronicity 1872967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our plan is to start TTC (for the first time... :shocked: ) in January. I just ordered some prenatals online so I can start taking them soon. I'm a vegetarian and I don't always have the best eating habits, so I figured getting some extra nutrients into me ahead of time can't hurt! I'm also going to start sloooowly cutting back on my coffee intake - it's been a bit extreme lately. </p> <p>Is anyone else starting to prep? What else can I do to feel more ready? I'm half excited, half freaking out... I can only assume that's completely normal :happy: </p>
