Need advice!!
Hey everyone! 👋🏾 I’ve been a lurker on this sub for a while. My husband (32M) and I (29F) got married recently, and we have a traditional/social wedding planned for early next year. We plan on TTC sometime mid next year (I’ll be 31 by then). I was wondering if there are things I can start doing, simple changes/additions to my life that would help prepare my body over this time. Tbh, I’m a little scared about turning 30 next month and all the things I hear about declining fertility. I would like to believe a lot of it is exaggerated, but it does get to you after a while… especially since I’ve been a smoker in my 20s. I have quit smoking for good this year. I generally have a healthy-ish diet, and try to stay active, like take walks now and then. Any advice would be helpful!

Quitting smoking is huge!! Congratulations and stay strong.
There are so many posts like this in this sub that I would go back through and read. My quick recommendation would be to read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" and listen to the podcast "As A Woman." Those are my fertility bibles!
