Hi ladies,
My husband and i have finally decided that come January 2014 I will be going off birth control and will be trying to get pregnant..I was researching a few "what to do before trying to conceive" methods, like booking doctor appointments, dentist appointments, getting proper vitamins. I am just wondering if i could get actual advice from ladies here on what they have done or what they did before trying to conceive. I know January is a ways away, but i would really like to start looking into all this so i have some sort of idea come the time of.
Thanks

PAIF/SAIF Welcome!
I started taking prenatal vitamins and fiber with extra folic acid (so about 800 ML a day of folic acid) one year before we started trying to conceive. Obviously there is no way to ever know for sure, but I think it helped us conceive quickly (only took two months of trying) and it helped our baby girl develop correctly. Of course, beautiful and perfect babies are born every day whose mothers started taking vitamins after they found out they were pregnant. But I just wanted to get a head start and get my body healthy as early as possible.
I also stopped my birth control one year before trying and we switched to condoms instead. I had been on birth control for 15 years and wanted to give my body time to figure it all out.
