thanks. H and I are going to start TTC in June. What kind of foods should I avoid? Should I stop taking fish oil caplets? I mean, once we start trying. Not right now. Hmm.... I'm sure I'll be back with more questions soon.
Big Fat Positive...Home Pregnancy Test (HPT), that is.

On the left of your screen there should be a huge list of community boards and other links. The one on the bottom says "Bump Board Glossary." This has literally.. EVERY frickin' abbreviation meaning. It's helpful.
I started taking prenatal vitamins before TTC. It can't hurt to take them. I'm not sure about fish oil.
As far as what to eat, I think as long as you avoid caffeine and alcohol and eat healthy you'll be fine. I read a book about certain foods helping your fertility, so you could do some searches on that. I'm not sure how much it will really help though.
It really is common sense type things. Quit smoking, start/continue exercising, lose weight if you are obese, switch your prescriptions based on what your doctor says (especially those not good in first tri). Go get the book "Fertility Diet" or "Taking Charge of Your Fertility". Also, check out www.fertilityfriend.com. Lots of great info there.

BFP = Big Fat Positive.
Everything in moderation, just try to be healthy. Good Luck!
1.Eat whatever the hell you want, drink as much as you can, and try as many experimental drugs as you can.
2. Why exactly would you need to stop taking fish oil caplets?
3. Google is your friend.
