to answer your question, DH and I really love kids and we know we want a family sooner rather than later. I'm 27, DH will turn 33 this month. he was ready years ago and I've finally caught up

I wouldn't say we are TTC right now but we are definitely getting more 'relaxed' with prevention. I've also began taking prenatals so babies are definitely on my radar.

most of my friends question why we want to start right away but DH and I have been living together for like 3 years already. We have had a house for a year. Sure we could take more vacations with out a little one but that's not enough of a reason, for us, to hold off on babies for years.

I can't wait to be a mother

are the prenatal vitamins supposed to help with getting pregnant? and i thought you were only supposed to take those once you were pregnant?

---

no, they don't help getting pregnant but prepares your body for the baby. Like getting the environment as healthy as possible KWIM? mostly for folic acid and iron i believe? I have been told that it doesn't hurt to take prenatal vitamins a couple of months before actively trying to get pregnant and definitely thru out your pregnancy.

It doesn't hurt because you could be pregnant for weeks before you find out KWIM?

but if you take a multivitamin, you are probably getting enough folic acid anyway.

where did you guys get the prenatal vitamins? I'd love to get some myself! even if just to have smoother skin

We've talked about it many times, and agree that we're not going to TTC for another year or less. We have a few trips planned and want to just enjoy a full year of being newlyweds before having a baby (plus hubby feels he's too young lol). We really are excited though and lately it comes up constantly in conversation. We have a big trip we're planning to Europe (Balkans & Croatia) next summer, so the goal is to start officially 'trying' while we're there. I'd love to say that we conceived a baby in Europe

So let's see how it goes. By that time I'll be 27 and hubby will be 25 so we feel like it's a good time (if it was up to me, I'd be preggo right now lol)

my OBGYN recommended that i try Clomid if I were to have problems TTC for my PCOS. I was on the pill for about 8-9 years to control it now...what is Metformin?

---

It helps control blood sugar levels - and I think normally taken by people with diabetes. It helped to control the glucose levels as well which PCOS is known to increase I think. After a year, it stopped working for me so then I was put on BC.
