[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, all. Had no idea about the vaccine issues - will be sure to double check during the next appointment.

Yes, I know I should be going into the gyno on a yearly basis, but I hate to and have been putting it off for years. It's partly a cultural thing - my mother never goes, either.[/quote]

That's not a good excuse. You need to take better care of yourself. I also don't think you're ready to Ttc if you don't know about basic things like vaccines etc. so schedule a prenatal consult with an OB GYN before you do anything else.[/quote]

NP: Adults needing to re-up on vaccines is a fairly recent development, hardly "basic."  Of course all woman should have annual well-woman check ups, but this whole "you're not ready to TTC" is a bit much.  Pregnancy is long, and many perfectly great parents don't feel ready for everything when they begin TTC.  Ease up.[/quote]

Ok but OP is asking what she needs to do. The first step isn't bbt etc, it's checking that you're healthy enough for pregnancy. OP doesn't know that, since she had had a well woman visit in she doesn't know how long. She could save herself a lot of heart ache by taking a month off and attending to that. I know plenty of clueless people go on to have healthy babies/pregnancies but again, OP isn't in a rush and asked for basic advice. [/quote]
