Ok so My husband and I have had our little talk about trying to have another baby!
So were going to start in January. I'm hoping for a birthday present then lolol!!
I'd like to know if there is anything we can do to get better results.
Is there anything he should be doing, eating, not eating?? Like Anything to improve his sperm?
And Me too? Anything special I should be doing?
We would really like a boy but really??? I'm ok with another Girl.
Lord help us when they hit 9yrs old :-D
Any who!
Hope to hear lots of stuff from eveyone!
I love info and techniques hehe!
Talk to you all soon!

I don't know that much about the "trying to conceive" part because we didn't have to try lol but you should always start a prenatle as soon as you have a plan to start. Good luck Tanya!! I hope you guys get preggo fast!

You should start taking folic acid now. My physician had me just add the folic acid pill to my daily vitamin when we decided to start trying. It would help to start taking it now.

Some books/doctors say to avoid caffeine. But some people drink caffeine, some don't.

Best of luck!

I am sure there is more but these are the things that popped into my head!
-Like Traci said folic acid- start taking prenatal vits now
-cut out caffeine some people swear by it
-have your DH wear boxers rather than briefs
-There is a book- about knowing your fertility that alot of    women love not sure of the name- someone will post after they read this hopefully

Ok that was just off the top of my head!
Best of luck!

The books is Taking Charge of your Fertility! We read it when we were TTC and you are right it is very educational!

There are ways to 'sway' pregnancy by the foods you eat and the timing of intercourse. A good website for trying to conceive is fertilityfriend.com...and they actually have a message board there for swaying. There is also a guy that came up with a process. I think it is the Shettle Method...here is a link but you could google it too. http://www.ovulation-calculator.com/shettlesmethod.htm

Others have mentioned the folic acid/ prenatals have extra of that. It would also be a good idea to have a full blood panel of your vitamin levels to make sure everything is okay now. For instance if you are a little deficient now in b-12 or D or iron...you could add that supplement as well. The baby will take what it needs, but you don't want to end up deficient, so best to jump on that ahead of time and monitor it closely while you are pg.

I post a TTC (trying to conceive) post on fridays for those of you trying...be sure to join in.
