Hey Ladies!
Ive been lurking for about a week and figured I would introduce myself. Im 22 and Ive been a critical care RN for a year. My fiance (35 and restuarant owner) and I are NTNP and plan on TTC in Sept (a month before our wedding. I wanna get a head start:)). I was wondering what you guys think about some of those all natural fertility aids? Are you taking any? Which ones are you taking? Why did you choose the one you are taking? I was wanting to try one so that we have the best chance of conceiving the first cycle. If we are able to do so wed be far enough along to announce it on a big family vacation with both our families present.
TIA for your input:)
Re: Intro and Fertility Supplements
Welcome and good luck!

*Currently on Clomid (monitored) and waiting on tissue results.
Not taking any fertility supplements, but I take a prenatal vitamin. I also eat healthy, and I cut back on my caffeine.
On a side note - do you enjoy doing critical care? I'm thinking of at some point going into psychiatric nursing.
On a side side note - Also getting a very head start. (Not quite yet) dear husband (but we still call each other husband and wife in private) and I are getting married May 4th, 2014 (may the fourth be with you...) We just decided we didn't want to wait to get married to have a baby.
The only thing I did prior to TTC was to start taking a prenatal vitamin and charting my cycles/BBT. I had been doing that to avoid getting pregnant for awhile anyway.
We got married on May 4th this year, it was perfect
We tried before the wedding also but still waiting on a BFP
OMG.. Star Wars Day! I love you, lol.
OP, welcome. All I take right now are prenatal vitamins.
May the fourth be with you?! We love star wars too! GL with TTC:)

I'm just finishing up nursing school now! How do you like critical care?
Right now I only take a prenatal vitamin but I am curious about other supplements too. I'm currently on CD 53 with no period and no BFP. I've been off the pill for a year almost and my cycles usually run around 50 days so this is even late for me.
