Hi Ladies! My name is Jennifer. I am 35 years old. My husband and I are just starting to try and conceive ( we got married on Saturday the 10th). Any advice?
Welcome to the board and congrats on your wedding.
Start taking a prenatal vitamin. Most people recommend temping and using fertility friend to track your cycles. I recommend using the clear blue easy fertility monitor in addition to temping.
Welcome! Would recommend seeing a RE if not success trying on your own within the first 6 months.

Taking Charge of Your Fertility is a GREAT book. I am also a fan of charting, even though I just started last month. Oh...and OPK's.
This...I so recommend this book. My name is also Jennifer. The name seemed to be popular in 70's. Wanting to wish you much luck and I hope your stay here is short.
TTC #1 since 2/10 Me 38 FSH 12.9 & AMH 0.16
DH 47, low sperm count due to meds.
07/11 We have sperm! 28 million, 70% motility, morphology 1% normal.
08/14/11 1st IUI unmedicated BFN.
09/11/11 2nd IUI w/ Femara + trigger BFN
10/14/11 trigger & Final IUI 10/16/11 BFN
10/21/11 Started acupuncture and loving it!
01/21 ET one embryo 6 cell grade C. Beta 02/02. BFN. Taking a much needed break.
I ill agree with pps about the prenatals, OPKs, and reading. I will say make the appointment for a consult with an RE at 4 months: it could take you a month to get an appt, and this would allow you to get some of the preliminaries out of the way.

Welcome to the board! I hope your stay is short and sweet.
I third the recommendation of "Taking Charge of Your Fertility." It's TTC demystified.
Welcome, and congrats!
