My husband and I will celebrate our first wedding anniversary in March, but have been together for 3 1/2 years. Like many women, my biological clock has been ticking for quite a while, so I've been ready. Well, the "baby bug" finally bit my husband and we finally made our plan to start trying to conceive this summer! We are both extremely excited!!! We're trying to approach this adventure with great amounts of love (of course), but also lots of knowledge...so any advice that you can share would be appreciated. Any books or other recommended reading? Any preparation - other than meeting with my doctor and starting prenatal vitamins? Let me know! Thanks in advance for all your help! babywish2010

Get in tune with your body and start tracking your cycles. Good Luck TTC, and welcome to PC -------------------- ~Marie, mom to Robbie, 15 and Anthony, 7 and our newest addition, Mia Eliana~ ~~I promise to forget you not, my angels in heaven being watched by our fallen heroes, Dec 23 08, April 1 09, & May 18 09~~

I'm working on eating healthier because I've always been very picky!! I started my prenatals last week. Is there a resource that can help me accurately chart? I thought I saw that on someone's post, but I've read SOOO many I have no clue where I saw it! Thanks!

Are your cycles regular?? You can get a TTC ticker, that's how I kept track of when I ovulated, worked for us....

www.lilypie.com is one, there's lots though, just look at the siggy's for more sites.
