Re: noob!!
Hi Courtney! Welcome to the board. My DH and I are new at TTC as well. I agree with NewbieTTC that fertilityfriend.com is a great site. I have a few additional suggestions. See your doctor for a "pre-conception" checkup. It's easier to treat any medical issues that you might have before you get pregnant. They'll probably suggest that you take a prenatal vitamin immediately.
Here are the rules my doc has for me:
1. Take prenatal everyday
2. NO alcohol for at least 2 months prior to TTC
3. Don't eat foods/take meds that pg women cannot eat. (such as soft cheeses....I hate this rule.)
4. No more than 2 cups of coffee/sodas a day. (this one sucks too)
His strongest point is that the most vital development happens before you even know you're pg. You might as well make sure you're at your healthiest so your future baby can have the best start possible.
