If you're planning to go private, check your health cover to see if you're covered. I discovered just in time that I wasn't (I thought I was as that's the main reason I had PHI). They had a 12 month waiting period for birth so we waited 3 months to TTC. As it turned out, it took longer anyway.

I agree with LD above re 3 months for folate pre conception, I think is what is recommended. I took Blackmores Pg & BF and at one point Blackmores Conceive Well instead.

Good luck.
