Is There Any Precaution To Be Taken Before Conceiving The Second Child?

Hi, my husband and I are wanting to try for a second child. I have stopped my Micronor after just 3 months of being on it. Any suggestions of steps to take? We are planning to use condoms until my period returns for dating the pregnancy correctly. Should I start supplements already? Thanks!

Hello and welcome to HCM!

I you have a regular cycle you are able to get pregnant in this phase. Just remember that the middle of the cycle is the time when the woman is mostly fertile. About 10 after your periods come you have to do unprotected intercourse and you should try it for a week every day. To make sure you don't have any infections in your genital tract you may do some analysis which are called "TORCH". You may start using folic acid before conceiving and the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Anyway you may ask a gynecologist for more detailed information

Take care and best wishes!
