What are you doing to prepare yourself for TTC?

We've been trying for a while now, this month we are both taking our vitamins and supplements. I'm taking 2,000 mg folic acid, 100 mg B6, 250 mcg B12, and 2,000 mg of EPO. Drinking (trying) at least 64 oz of water a day, staying away from caffeine, and drinking massive amount os wine and beer during my one week fertile period (thats how we got our last BFP). I really hope this is the month, I'm so tried of trying and seeing AF every month, she sucks!!!

Right now I'm just taking my prenatals (I never stopped) and dreading having to start up the shots.

I do them. I don't think DH could handle giving them to me.

Good luck Marilyn! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! :hug:

Farah, I didn't think about that. That will suck! Oh well, it's for the greater good.

Ash, I plan on stopping my b/c after this month, and then trying as hard as I can to talk Dh into trying w/in the next few months. I went to the health food store and got myself a really good multi-vitamin, and I also got some B-12 b/c I'm deficient. I will have to stop a couple of meds that I'm on, too, so I plan to do that in the next couple of months. Oh, and I'd really like to lose 10 lbs, but that's not looking good lol.
