[blparent] Update on me

[Melissa Ann Riccobono]

Hello Amanda, 
I am glad your appointment went well. Unfortunately, I can't give you advice on checking fertility, but I am sure others on this list can. I just wanted to share two things with you. First, and most important, try to relax about getting pregnant as much as you can. I know this is easier said than done, but I also know from experience that getting pregnant tends to happen when you are most relaxed, and sometimes when you are least expecting it. This process should be something you and your husband enjoy. It sounds as if it is something you both want. Try to relax and let things happen naturally as much as possible. If you aren't pregnant in six months to a year, then you might want to think about checking into ways to check fertility. Of course, this is only my oppinion! You should definitely do what feels right to you! 
Second, the NFB has a new parent mentoring program if you'd like to be paired with a mentor to answer pregnancy and parenting questions. Visit http://www.blindparents.org and fill out the mentoring form. 
The best of luck! 
Melissa
