TTC questions - before seeing ob/gyn
First I'd like to say that I've been a lurker both here and on liweddings.com for a few years now and although I haven't really posted yet, I'd like to thank you all for sharing your knowledge and experience so openly. I have learned a lot!
DH and I are thinking about TTC in the near future and since we have recently moved and I haven't found a new ob/gyn yet it will take 2 months before I can be seen as a new patient.
In trying to prepare before then for the "just in case", I've started taking multi vitamins with 400mcg of Folic Acid and I've modified my diet to include more fruits, veggies, & protein. Is there anything else I should do? Limit caffeine? What about hair-coloring - is that an old wives' tale?
Any help would be appreciated!

Folic acid is the most important thing according to my Dr. Limiting Caffine and alcohol can't hurt either. Hair coloring is debatable. Some Dr's say yes, some say no. Here is an article that I found helpful on the subject.

I hope this helps and
