Preparing for conception?

My husband and I are going to begin trying for a baby in the next 6 months to a year. I am so excited! Any suggestions/recommendations for making this process go as smooth as possible? Including: supplements, stress reduction, timing, etc? Thanks!!!

Answers:
Start taking a good prenatal vitamin with folic acid. Also it would be good to start charting your cycle, I use www.fertilityfriend.com, its really easy and tells you when you are most likely to be fertile. If you have any weight to gain or lose, now is the time to do it. You can also start getting in the habit of eating right, cutting out alcohol and tobacoo, and exercising so that it will not be too hard once you are pregnant.

Well I say If you want you can start charting now for when you ovulate and then when ready you will know what time of the month you are ovulating so you can concieve on your first month or 2 of trying. Good Luck ! TTC can be hard sometimes I have been trying for a while.
