TTC
PRE-PREGNANCY
PREPARATIONS FOR TTC (trying to conceive):
Being the planner that I am, before we even made a decision to start trying for a baby, I read 5 different pre-conception books and spent about a year preparing for conception:vaccinations, testing, birth control, nutrition changes, exercise changes, looking for a doctor and a hospital, changing insurance plans, removing all toxins out of my life, visiting a dentist, extracting wisdom teeth, taking prenatals, reading pregnancy books, etc.
This is a recap of my year in preparation for pregnancy:

My husband and I really enjoyed this one. It feels great, it doesn’t mess with the PH or the sperm and actually has zinc and a few other minerals to help sperm be stronger and faster. Considering, pretty much anything can kill or impede sperm (saliva, usual lubricants), this is a no brainer.
