Advice 9months BEFORE ttcRe: Advice 9months BEFORE ttc
Hi Girls,
I am also off the pill but only just, will have to wait till I get AF to start to calculate my cycle etc. Im also taking folic acid, the pack is nearly finished so got preconception vitamins in boots which have the 400 mg of folic acid in them aswell....got smear done last year and all was clear But I have noticed since tuesday of this week that I am getting really crampy cramps... and Im sorry TMI!! But like clockwork each morning I have had diarrohea, so embarrassing as I am sure the girls I work with I wondering what is going on. My place is a bit like a maternity ward! So many bumps its unreal and I do catch managers glancing at me every so often as they presume because I got married in September that I am next to go!! Has anyone else experienced this coming off the pill? I know that it is a sign of pregnancy but we have been careful up to now because of me only being off it etc etc.... would love to know if this is just a hormonal thing or if I should keep an eye and see if it persists over the next few days. Have not been boozing, or eating any spicy foods, just normal bland stuff..... any advise would be much appreciated! And apart from that, I cannot wait to get a BFP, hoping that we can get to work ha ha this weekend!!
Re: Advice 9months BEFORE ttc
Hi girls, very tentatively venturing back into the TTC forum after 2 years! We are going to TTC this year, hopefully before the summer so I have a lot to do before then! Took 5 months ttc DD. I never got a smear after DD so have to get that done and get on the folic acid.
RE. rubella-when I got bloods done at dating scan on DD they found I had very low immunity so i had to be extra careful about contact with people-typically I work in a school and there was an outbreak at the time nationally! i got the booster when I went for my post natal check up at 6 weeks but i will be checking this out again-my sister is a nurse and she had to get the booster twice as it didn't take the first time! They also checked my immunity to varricella (chickenpox) at the time so not sure if this should be checked before hand too? Also worth knowing in advance what blood type you are in case you are Rh negative-it's nothing too major but good to be aware of in case of bad bumps/falls when pregnant as you need to get checked out. I was surprised how many people didn't know what blood type they were! Re: Advice 9months BEFORE ttc
myself and h2b had a big heart to heart last night and we've decided that we're gonna have 3 months to enjoy being newly weds with lazy days and nights out with firends and then in november start a family.
is it too soon to take folic acid? we don't be ttc until late october [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]

I don't think so realta! Why don't ya start taking boots, skin hair & nails ? That has the recommended daily dose of folic acid plus it will make your hair & nails super fabulous for your big day! Win win!! That's what I did, took the skin hair & nails a year prior to getting married & continued then up until I got pregnant - congrats by the way x Re: Advice 9months BEFORE ttc
Thanks Angel-dust
i'll look into those skin and hair vitamins! having a baby is the most important thing i want to do with my life so fingers crossed it all goes well and i'll be pregnant by christmas [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]
[/url] Re: Advice 9months BEFORE ttc
How exciting Realta!!!!
I think we will do the same - I reckon it will be nice to have some time together being newlyweds!!!!! You can never be overdressed or overeducated

sparkly winterbride- are you getting married this winter or are you a newly wed now?
it is very exciting. never thought i'd see myself type this but i'd give up the wedding right now if it would guarantee a healthy pregnancy when we decide to start trying. i think the whole baby thing is much more exciting than wedding stuff- as much as i can't wait for the big day [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]

Hi,
This is my first post! New to all of this. Got married in July and thinking about starting TTC in the next few months! Started taking folic acid and trying to be healthy. Excited but really really nervous, terrified about child birth!! any one else terrified??? Is there anything I can do in advance that wil help with child birth??
Re: Advice 9months BEFORE ttc
Welcome to the forum When we started ttc first i too was terrified of the birth, but we both wanted a baby so much, by the time we got down to business i actually forgot about all the pain i will have to go through. I don't know, i think once a woman finds out she's pregnant the fear just goes away. That was the case with me anyway and i'd say a lot of women would agree with me on this. Of course you can prepare yourself for the birth. Visit the ante-natal classes that they offer you in the maternity hospitals. You will learn a lot there and they give you great tips and stuff. I also did ante-natal aqua aerobic, which kept me fit, but in a gentle way if you know what i mean. Our DD is nearly 4 and we are both ready for number 2 I'd say we will start fairly soon now again, can't wait Re: Advice 9months BEFORE ttc
hi girls. This seems the appropriate place to post this, and hopefully it will help some people or better, stop a problem before it begins.
I am writing about folic acid supplementation, which we all should take in the months preceeding TTC and during pregnancy also. In my case, my serum vitamin B12 levels were checked thankfully, over 360, but within a year my B12 they were down to 80! Most people don't realise how important it is. I know I didn't. Taking folic acid (folate) can mask any symthoms of B12 deficiency, however, neurological damage is possible .. and it possible, without going into details, that is what happened in my case and why I'm on to ask this: If you are taking folic acid and have not had your B12 levels checked, please ask for this at your next blood testing. Any problems and your Doc will be able to advise you more. Best of luck with TTCing
Re: Advice 9months BEFORE ttc
Hi girls!
Thanks for all the advice for planning ahead with ttc. Hoping to start ttc after Christmas! Don't feel quite ready yet...though they say there is never a perfect time! Am going to have check-up with the doctor tomorrow, blood test to check immunization levels for rubella etc....and am just going to dig out the letter from my last smear test and see whether I need to have that done too before Christmas! As I'm going to be 33 in April I feel I need to get started! But at the same time we are building a house and life is pretty hectic........hardly feel I can look after myself - never mind a little one as well! Anybody else feel the same way?! url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]

deear alll....
jsut wanted to come on and say, if you start taking folic acid on its own, bear in mind that it works best in conjuction with other vitamins.... and actually you should be taking at a minimum b12 with it also. It occurred to me that I basically ran out of b12, dodgy stuff, and have to have injections now as it got so bad, but taking the folic acid hid the fact for too long ... so take a good multivitamin instead of folic acid on its own

Re: Advice 9months BEFORE ttc
Just to point out girls the folic acid dose is 400mcg or o.4 mg not 400mg...just so you know what to ask for

Went to the doctor today after seeing the posts bout rubella etc and she was AMAZING. She took loads of blood for different tests (half of which I dont remember now) and she's sending me for an ultrasound to determine once and for all if I have pcos.
