Hi All,

I have been waiting years! My OH was not ready for so long but at the weekend we decided to stop the pill and just see what happens. Im new and dont know much about TTC. What do i do now? im getting Folic Acid today and Prenatal vitamins. Anything else?

i feel like i am in a dream today! so happy!

Don't put to much pressure on yourself or your husband! It can take the average couple 6 months to 1 year to even get pregnant. Unless your super fertile like my friend who only took a week. I'd suggest also taking B6 - it's been known to help boost your fertility. I don't think you'll need to take extra folic acid since it's already in the prenatal vitamins. If you don't already work out, I'd suggest you start, it'll be better for you and the baby once you do conceive. Don't expect it to happen right away, even though each is very disheartening you will get through it! Maybe you can start learning to use OPKs? (Ovulation Predictor Kits) I know on Amazon you can get 100 OPKs and 20 HPTs for around $25 (and the HPTs are sensitive).
