Ive changed my diet to where Ive cut out fast food and reduced the amount of sugar I eat. Im starting to do light workouts again and signed up for yoga class. The reason why Ive changed is because diabetes runs pretty rampant in my family and I want to be in a healthy place as Im trying to concieve.

Dietwise, I am cutting out red meat and dairy, because my body doesn't tolerate it. My thought is, if my body doesn't tolerate something well, why eat it -- then it's just focusing on getting rid of the foods it doesn't want, and not on getting pregnant! :D

I'm also trying to go to bed early , and drink more water and green tea. I've also started taking probiotics, fish oil and a daily pregnancy vitamin to increase my folic acid, as well as other vital nutrients.

That, and DH and I are increasing our BD's during my fertile period. He's probably the only man on the planet with a Period Tracker app on his iPhone.

I too, am on my 1st month TTC and actually taking real steps for #1. I myself have been taking prenatal vitamins for 1 1/2 months. This cycle(now on cd 5) im still taking the prenatal vitamins, drinking 8-16 ozs of grapefruit juice daily for CM and ph balance for the little swimmers and lastly pre-seed. We'll see what success I have this cycle.
Loads of baby dust blowing you lovely ladies way. Gd luck^_^
