Re: want to conceive, any tips?
before you go any further, go for a physical at your doctor's. make sure your iron levels are normal, and start taking folic acid up to 5 mcg per day, also take a pre-natal multivitamin. folic acid is VERY important- it prevents spinal cord birth defects in babies and it is really only useful in the first few weeks when you might not even realize you are even pregnant, so its important to have at least a 3 month supply in your body before you try.
in terms of ovulation, start writing down the first day your periods start. mark it in a calendar every month. this will really help figure out the length of your cycle. usually, around the 14th day, although this can vary for each women, but, generally speaking around then, you should see a white discharge - that's the easiest sign you are ovulating.
in the meantime, try to relax and de-stress because that will hinder your efforts, not help them, and enjoy the process! babies should be made in love, not math, IMHO. and remember, you only get one shot a month, so its natural that it might take a while... don't worry about that! do your best and iA it'll happen.
