    The most important things you should do is abstain from smoking, drinking, and drugs, and take a prenatal vitamin... starting now. Avoid large amounts of caffeine (doc says a cup or 2 of coffee a day is ok while TTC). Eating a balanced diet (fruits and veggies!) and mild exercise are also important, not that they'll help you conceive faster, but they'll help you be able to better physically withstand pregnancy. Good luck!

    Remember that your husband should avoid excessive drinking, and any smoking too! I personally only use Tylenol for pain while I'm TTC, because I know doctors say only tylenol is safe during pregnancy.

    Start your prenatal vitamins now! Don't start any strenuous exercises that you haven't already been doing. If you don't want to start your prenatal vitamins now, I would recommend One A Day Complete Womens. They're inexpensive and contain the folic acid that you need. Good luck!
