After reading Bird24's post.

What elase do I have to consider? bearing in mind we probably wont be ttc until sept/oct. Is is natural to be a complete numb nut about this sort of thing??

I am on a healthy diet? planning to loose 2 stone for end April/May.

Go to the gym anything from 2-5 times a week?

Don't smoke (only if had far too much to drink!!!!!)

so what supplements? do I need to go to the docs?

It's always good to go ahead and get on either a folic acid supplement or a prenatal vitamin at least three months before you start TTC. Good luck when you do start trying!

Thanks for that.

You sound like you know pretty much all the basic stuff, I wouldnt get too stressed out about it, the main thing I think is to keep your sex life when you do start adventurous and exciting, cos it can soon become a chore!! Keep it lively and do it every other day in order for his spermies to recharge. And starting on folic acid approx 3 months in advance is always a good idea, Good Luck, Candice xx

Hi MandaR

you have inspired me to do the same.

instead of moping around these three months, i can commit to being the heathiest i can be ready for June.

So my plan list is...

- Eat as health as i can..... (lost of Fuit and veg)
- Take Good mutivit with folic acid.
- Drink no more than 2 glasses of wine per week!
- avoid smokey places (i dont smoke)
- Excercise 4 x per week for 30 mins (running)
- Chart my cycle and BBT

plus.................
- get myself looking good so DP want to do the BD with me lots and lots whent the time comes ....


any other ideas? x

Aww thanks. It is all very daunting esp. being past 35 yrs. Although I am a bit like peter pan...

But, with my age I just want it to be right. if you know what I mean. I always thought that I would have babies in my early 20's but I am glad that I have waited then I think about being an 'older mum'. paaaah whos cares anyway.

I'll be 33 when we start TTC so I am also a mature mom to be (hate the world old ha ha).

Its exciting stuff all round and I was thinking in the shower this week that I know I am going to kick myself if I dont enjoy this time to sleep in and be carefree.

Trying to focus on that and not when I will fall pg :-)
