TTC after 35

New member

Hello, 

I am turning 35 in June and hubby and I have decided to start trying.  I have definitely not been in the best shape in the last years but have started counting calories, prenatal vitamins, quite the alcohol, (almost) quit the ciggs, and evaluating my overall health.  I look for advice and support as there are only three people other people that know that we have "pulled the goalie" and I am not planning on making this a public thing in our lives.  I'm very excited to begin this journey!

  • Welcome & Wishing you all the best :)
  • Welcome!  I know all too much about making the healthy change...Cigs a part of my life since I was a teenager.  I've tried to quit several times over the years and failed but this time was surprisingly very easy...I had a really good reason :)
    Also, same with alcohol and weight.  It's all worth it, tho
