Hi everyone! I'm new to The Bump so I thought I'd introduce myself. My husband and I have been married almost a year, and just started TTC! We're in the process of buying a house, and are beyond excited about having a baby! Actually, the time to take a pregnancy test will be coming up in the next few days, so wish me luck!

Hi and welcome!

GL on your test, hope it's positive! If not, I would go to FertilityFriend.com and read the tutorials. There's a great deal of information on the site (free) that most women don't know. You can pick up a BBT thermometer for $9 at amazon/Target, etc.

If you're not already taking prenatal vitamins, start now. You don't need a Rx, any kind will do. The important part is to make sure that you're getting enough folic acid from the very start - neural tubes develop first, and folic acid prevents neural tube defects like spina bifida. 

If you're interested in more information, lots of women have read TCOYF (google it). It should be available at Barnes & Noble, Borders, and amazon, and your local library may have it as well.

GL on the house and TTC!
