What are you doing to prepare for TTC?
More water? Better eating habits? Exercise? Vitamins, etc.? I'm trying to incorporate all these but I'm trying not to get totally consumed with it. My 1st booger survived in the womb for two Trimesters on Coca Cola and BK's Chicken Sandwiches every day

Re: What are you doing to prepare for TTC?
Really, the only thing I've been doing is cutting back on the drinking. It's hard bc I realy want like an entire bottle of red wine, but I'm trying to be good.

Re: What are you doing to prepare for TTC?
I gave up diet soda and splenda last year. It wasn't exactly for TTC, but I figured it couldn't hurt. Now I just take my prenatals, work out regularly, and try to eat nutritiously--whole foods over processed, etc. (ETA: But I've pretty much always done these things.)
I also used to be a social smoker, but I stopped that altogether.

Re: What are you doing to prepare for TTC?
Prenatals. Keeping my eating/workout routine the same.
Definitely NOT cutting down on the booze.   not until a BFP, of course!
TTC is stressful enough, I can't imagine doing it without my Thursday night glass of wine, my Friday night bottle of wine, and my Saturday and Sunday full of beer.

Re: What are you doing to prepare for TTC?
I lost about 20lbs. and quit smoking 2 years ago (wasn't ttc then but I knew we would be within a few years and figured it was better to kick the habit then, rather then try once I got a bfp) More recently I try to drink more water, cut down on the junk food, and I take my prenatals.

amen on the wine- I read on here that you dont share a blood stream with the baby for the first couple weeks- so I will totally be waiting for the BFP before giving up my wine!

Ditto. I can't (okay, won't) give it up until I get a BFP!

Started taking prenatals, but that's really it. Still keeping my same workout routine, and everything else pretty much the same.

Excessive amounts of caffeine (more caffeine than is found in 2 cups of coffee, about 300 mg total) can be bad for TTC. If you're under that, you should be fine.

Re: What are you doing to prepare for TTC?
Quit smoking for almost 5 months now  ( DH is almost 4 months smoke free )
Started taking pre-natals.
I've been going to the gym and exercising a lot more regularly. I'm actually a pretty thin person and have been my whole life, but I've come to realize that it won't always be that easy for me especially after quitting smoking (I've noticed the pounds starting to come on  ). So I want to get used to exercise and eating healthy now so that after a baby it will be that much easier 
Oh yeah..........and hopefully we find a house we like

Same here! Although I do take a prenatal--when I remember, that is.

Re: What are you doing to prepare for TTC?
I'm cutting back on caffeine, taking vitamins, paying attention to eating healthy (more greens and fruits) and getting myself on a regular work out routine. I would like to lose some weight..........
Also, becoming a walking encyclopedia of knowledge on TTC by reading about it and being on this site all day long
