Me and my bf recently decided that we want to try for a baby, and have just started ttc. we know it might take a while but cant wait til the day we get a BFP. Just wondering if anyone has any tips?

Hi Summer sun

Welcome to B&B

The only thing that helped me was to write down any change in CM each day of your cycle. This should be helpful in predicting when you are most fertile.

Get in lots of BDing too.

Good luck xxx

Welcome to the forum. My only advice to you is to start taking either a prenatal vitamin or a folic acid supplement right away, folic acid is very important in the early stages of pregnancy (and most doctors recommend you take it 3 months prior to conceiving--which I didn't do, I started taking it as soon as I started TTC). Good luck in your TTC journey

I agree with Vickie and Rumpskin..good advice...but remember to always have fun and try not to stress over it too much...easier said than done I know. But I think that is very important as well.

good luck summer sun!! my advice to you...keep it fun and i always think its nice to bd even when its not ov time, just so dp doesnt get stressed about it, because its inevitable that we will!! i also agree with all the other advice on here!! great tips ladies! and always remember, ttc or not, a healthy mum is a healthy baby =) GOODLUCK!!! hope we dont see you in ttc too long

I agree with he others.
Try not to stress over it and take your folic acid.
I found the tickers help too

Dont think about it too much, eat healthily, make sure boyf wears breezy boxers (haha) as it helps the spermies stay healthy or so i read. Just have fun with it, try not to obsess too much... dont follow my examples..i am the worst obsesser! lol
have fun, and enjoy it! hope your journey is not too far away xxx

Hello Summer Sun,

It might also help if you're bf takes folic acid ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7303375.stm ), there's loads of info if you google it, can't do any harm and it might help remind you to take it.

Have lots of fun!!!

Good Luck and lots of xxx

I just read another post of yours, your 16 and ttc? Do you have a job? does your boyf? do you have a place to live? I think you need to think things over first. I hope your not intending to live off the taxpayers of this country make the right decision.

Welcome and Good Luck

Everyone has given you such great advice already.
