Cutting back on alcohol, quitting smoking, cutting back on caffeine eating well, exercising and making sure you are a healthy weight all improve both your chances of conceiving quickly. (and get you into good habits for your pregnancy) you don't have to give up the wine with dinner completely though. The other thing to do would be start keeping a record of your periods, to see if you have a regular cycle and if you read up about natural fertility tracking methods you can start charting those too. You could also buy some ovulation prediction kits and work out if you ovulate at the same day each month. That way when you do start trying you will already have a really clear idea what days to focus on. We had to wait 3 months for our insurance to kick in so I used that time to get ready and we then conceived the first cycle we tried! You can never really plan exactly when you will manage to conceive but you can at least consider the seasons and try and aim for a winter baby so you are not stuck pregnant/with a newborn through a hot summer (says me, the 33 weeks pregnant lady whose last baby was also born in an August, clearly I need to take my own advice!)

Thank you Kiwispiers. I had a hysteroscopy last year to remove some polyps on my uterus. After the operation my gynecologist told me that everything is fine and I am healthy to conceive. I am going to see her again next month to do another check up just to be sure and will also start taking folic acid. Is there anything my husband should start doing? Does he also need to change his diet? We often have some wine with our dinner, will we have to give that up while trying to conceive? I heard that as a woman you should stop having alcohol about 3 months before getting pregnant. Is that true?

are you taking folic acid? you ideally want to take it for 3 months BEFORE you get pregnant so you can take the opportunity to do that while you wait, might as well get your iron and vit D tested so you can work on building those stores up before you conceive too.

[b'>kiwispiers replied : Here is some info that explains it better. http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/dentalwork.html[/b'> [i'>'Preventive dental work is essential to avoid oral infections such as gum disease, which has been linked to preterm birth.' [/i'> I never knew that, very interesting :\: Being overly cautious I will wait to get pregnant until all dental work had been done. Not easy though. I am sooo broody... Thank you for your replies

anesthetics and x-rays are best avoided while pregnant if possibleI didn't know that. I have a bunch of step-cousins in the UK who specifically wait to do all their dental work when they are pregnant because the NHS covers the entire cost of all medical treatment performed on pregnant women incl dental!

better to get it done before you get pregnant, anesthetics and x-rays are best avoided while pregnant if possible and yep, once you have a baby you can barely find the time for a haircut let alone the dentist.

Good evening ladies My husband and I recently got married and is eager to start a family. But... I have some dental work that I need to do (quite extensive). It's nothing cosmetic though. I have a couple of fillings that need to be re-done and all my root canals (five... :() need crowns. The whole procedure will be done over the next six months. Will it be possible to do this while being pregnant? Is it safe for the unborn baby? My dentist told me that I do not have to do this immediately but I guess once the baby is here I will not have enough time to go back and forth to the dentist every couple of weeks... <em>edited by EstKe on 09/08/2012</em>
