My husband and I decided a month ago that we would try to have a baby, so I stopped taking my birth control pill. We are both so excited and can't wait to get pregnant. I just started taking folic acid, but I read somewhere that I should take prenatal vitamins. Should I take those instead of the folic acid, or as well as the folic acid?
Since we have only been trying for a month, I know it is very unlikely that it will happen right away, but I have to ask. I am about 3 days late on getting my period, which I know could be because I just stopped taking birth control about a month ago. I have also been getting headaches, and I just started eating peanut butter and peanuts, which I have never had a desire to eat before. I also have been peeing a lot, have to get up in the middle of the night as well. Do you think there is even a possibility that I may be pregnant? And how soon should I test? I know its a long shot....maybe I just want it so bad I am imagining having these symptoms.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I also took folic acid until I found out I was pregnant then I switched to prenatals.
Peanut butter is my favorite when I am pregnant.
I would DEFINITELY take a home pregnancy test up to 5 days before your missed period. If you're already late, try taking it! One of my first symptoms was getting up once in the middle of the night to pee (I NEVER had that issue when I wasn't pregnant).
Also, be careful with consuming too many peanuts. I've read that it can make your baby allergic to peanuts when he/she is born. You might want to ask just to be safe. (I still eat crunchy peanut butter, just not too often).
Good luck!!! Keep us updated!!!
Good luck with your test!
