I just wanted to start a thread (maybe there are old ones) on how to prepare for the "return to fertility" after having a baby
My DS just turned one, and I am starting to feel signs that lead me to believe that I may see AF return in the not too distant future. DH and I conceived DS without planning, so I have not been truly acquainted with my own inner workings. We avoided pregnancy before by assuming I had an average cycle and using the "pull and pray" method, and I got pregnant when my DH decided on a whim that he was ready to give it a shot. (We had been talking on and off about trying).
So, what i want to know is, how do i get myself in good shape to TTC again? I don't necessarily want to TRY try right now, I just would like to do things to get my body in a good place so that when we are ready to try we have the best chance at a healthy pregnancy. Or even how to know how to anticipate the return of AF. i may even want to avoid for a little while longer since DS isn't eating a whole lot of solids yet.
Anyway, anybody have any advice? anyone else in the same place? what are your thoughts??
TIA!
