Pre-Pregnancy Preparation
Folic Acid alone or Prenatal Vitamins??
In preparation for getting pregnant, I am confused on what is best in terms of vitamin supplements. My doctors says to take a folic acid supplement so I have started to take 1 mg. per day. Some of my female friends tell me that I should be taking the prenantal vitamins already to prepare but I am not taking their word for it as maybe too much of a good thing isn't good. I try and eat a balanced diet although with my busy schedule it is sometimes difficult.
I want to give myself the best shot possible at having a successful pregnancy and would appreciate an educated professional's advice on the best choice.
Thank you.

Hello everyone lets not panic; I'm in the same shoes Palanaki i have sooo much shopping to do but i'm trying to not let it get to me. I'm going to be home from work till Jan 2nd so i figured that i will do everything that i need to do early next week. New Years Eve party will be so much fun i'm thinking of doing it in my house too but i don't know if i can manage to host, cook, etc...
Oh how exciting that on the 8th u'll knw the style that's cute never heard of that.
CharlieGirl - I completely know what u're going through; just relax enjoy the season and take it a day at a time. I still think there's a chance don't give up yet i had no symptoms other than my burping remember lol so i'm still cheering u on because i think there's a great chance that u may be preggo. Remember at times the hormone doenst show up in your system that fast sooo i have a positive outlook on the fact that u're late and still no sign of it wwwwooo hoooo
Tarajanes - is ur cold gone how r u feeling?
Richeygirl - good luck with everything

Thank you for your kind words. have a great holiday! Yes, I'll be getting tanked!
Good Morning All! Hope that everyone is doing well.
sc1: Your story about you talking to your voicemail was hilarious. I have done similar things, and my husband thinks that it's all so funny. But lately, I've been having these really horrible, vivid dreams, so real that when I wake up it takes me a minute or two to realize that it was just a dream. That's my new thing. I guess that's how I know my hormones are working, huh?
Okay, so I just had a check-up and everything is fine. Baby's heart rate and growth are right on target. And I go in on Jan 8th to find out what we're having. Or as my doctor puts it, what "style" we're having. She's a crack-up.
I hope you all are ready for the holidays. I'm ashamed to say that I am not. I still have so much shopping to do, talk about procrastination. And we're planning to have a New Year's Even party, don't even ask how I thought I could manage that. I'm still not sure.
Have a lovely day, my dear posting buddies!

I was definitely sensing your growing frustration. And I don't blame you for taking a break, as long as you're not giving up. But I truly believe that tarajanes right: that's when it'll happen. I hope that you take time to really relax and focus on yourself and things that you enjoy. And of course, getting tanked on Christmas is a must. :) Please know that we're still here for that supportive boost, no matter what.
Stupid AF, she just doesn't get the fact that she's not welcome. Grrrrrrr!!!!!
Lots of hugs and best wishes being sent your way!

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been on, just confused. Af was due up until Tuesday, tested on MOnday and got a Negative but still no AF. Usually when I get a negative that late in my cycle, it means AF is just late so I'm already disappointed and waiting for AF. I'll bet she starts in a couple of days max. This has happened to me before.
I don't have any tangible pregnancy symptoms either so not hopeful.
Glad to hear everyone is doing well. Tarajanes, it may be too early for boobie changes.
Anyhow, I've decided I'm taking a break from TTC for a while, need to, I'm too exhausted from thinking about it 24 hours a day.
Good luck to all. BABY DUST!!
