Prenatal vitamins?
we are looking to start trying this August/September. I went off birth control last week and started a fertility friend account to start tracking my period/ovulation data. My question is should I start taking prenatal vitamins now or wait? Is there anything else you think is important to do or not do a few months out from when you know you are going to start ttc?
I have also seen some people say that you don't need to change anything until you know you are pregnant. I'm a little confused and would like some I out from ladies with experience. Thanks!

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermDE IVF ER - 12/2/2016 (17R/10F = 8 frosties); FET 1.0 (1/27/2017) - BFP 6dp5dt (EDD 10/16/2017)
You'll want to find a vitamin with folic acid and DHA. I've been taking the Rainbow brand, but they're pretty pricy. My H has also been taking a daily multi-vite from Costco.
I've also cut back on alcohol consumption (but will still have maybe two or three glasses of wine a week), as well as switched from Advil to acetaminophen and always Google any OTC meds before taking them. I haven't cut back on caffeine yet but I have been trying to drink more water.
It maybe overkill, but none of this behavior hurts!
Also I started to attempt to lose weight/eat healthier a few months back as well. I drink a few times a year and will continue to do so until I am actually pregnant.
Good luck!

As for lifestyle changes, it's always a good idea to eat healthy and exercise, TTC or not. I'm also in the "drink til it's pink" camp assuming you aren't out getting plastered every night.
Good luck!
