Preparing your body
Are you suppose to prepare your body when you are ttc? It's odd how my gyn knows I'm ttc but never mentioned to me that I need to prepare my body (i.e., vitamins, food, etc)

i would start talking folic acid each day. It helps prevent neural tube defects.

Re: Preparing your body
A good place to start is to a prenatal vitamin everyday, start cutting back on caffeine, and quit smoking if you do.
At your yearly doc appt, when I told him i wanted to TTC, he sent me for genetic testing like cystic fibrosis, and since I have thalsemmia in my family (a blood disease) I went for testing with that as well as testing for sexually transmitted diseases.
I didnt' stop eating any foods while TTC, it drove me too crazy.
