Just Started TTC... Advice Please?

Question

My hubby and I are 31. We don't have kids yet but really want to start our family. We only started trying to conceive this last month or two. I've been tracking my cycle for a while. Taking my bbt for a few weeks. But not sure I have an accurate thermometer. It always says in the 96.something range. Haven't been able to pin down my ovulation yet. What methods have you tried and found successful? What's the average time it takes from TTC to getting pregnant?

Answer

A healthy couple can take up to 6 months to get pregs. I luckily have been blessed with fertility and had no trouble conceiving my first two. Now, trying for #3, thought I would have no trouble (now 30, hubby is 35)...and got pregs month two but miscarried. Learned to never take my fertility for granted. If I am not pregs this month, we are going to try the smep plan and use opks next month. I've heard that's great! Google it!

Answer

Docs say a healthy woman below age of 35; should be pregnant in one year. For those over 35 they only give you 6 months. It's best to 1) inform your Obgyn you are ready/trying to conceive to check all your vitals to blood work; 2) take prenatal vitamins, 3) eat healthy; 4) exercise; 5) no stress; 6) utilize ovulation method from temperature to ovulation sticks( 7) relax to make it fun.  If you haven't conceived in a year talk to your Obgyn to get you and your spouse tested.  You will get there :))
​I have 2 children... A 5yr old and a 20 yr old; me and my hubby are 40. I'm working to lose my last 10 lbs before we try for baby no 3 in January. Best baby wishes! You will conceive soon :)
