i've started taken prenatals all that's left to do now besides the baby dance is get a pre pregnancy check up

Good for you!!!!

:thumbsup

now is there anything else i need to do?

Start temping, and watching your cycle, and watch also what you eat and what medications you take. If you are TTC, you need to make sure any meds you take are safe to take while pregnant.

Id start watching your CM everyday, normally when you ovulate it gets thick and stringy like egg whites, that way you have an idea of when you ovulate every month!

I think you've got it covered. I'm a bad girl.. I've never gotten a pre pregnancy check-up when I was TTC :teehee

well i've been watching my CM and whatnot but i haven't temped in awhile because of the move and everything so it was getting really screwed up. if we don't get pregnant this month i'm going to start temping again (i ordered mroe charts). my lamictal according to my old gyno is safe to take while pregnant (its for my bi-polar and trust me i need it lol).

i haven't had a check up in over a year

When you're TTC for the first time I don't see a reason to chart and temp... I only see those things to be necessary when you are having trouble or it's taking a long time to conceive. I have 3 kids that we planned and I've NEVER charted, temped... nothing.

plus dh and i do :sex ALOT and apparently he's fertile--very fertile

What about folic acid? I've heard that is good to start before trying to conceive. Though, you prenatal may already have that covered.

Did he have an SA done already or something? Just curious on how you would know that....:shrug
Good luck ttc'ing.

he said he had one done and that his sperm count is above average

Hmm..I didn't think that was a common test unless you're having problems ttc. Good news for you though.

thanks for all the well wishes.

Good luck

Ha Ha, me either. I never even heard of a pre-pregnancy check up until recently.

do you think its one fo those wacky doctor things?

do you think its one fo those wacky doctor things?

Maybe...But, I'd never discourage anyone from going to one if its what's recommended.

i think i'm going to just do a yearly physical since i need one anyway just for my own peace of mind and then talk then

Good luck! :thumbsup and good thing you are making sure you are ready physically for this :)
