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 miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
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!
