you could serve him a huge amount of brocolli and nothing else one day and say it's either that every day til we get a or you take this tiny little pill.

Or you could get one of those poison rings - that would be exciting

Well if you're eating a pretty good diet then then supplements wouldn't strictly be necessary!!! Interesting to note that caffeine reduction helped! Hmm.


When I fell pg with no1 all I had changed in my life was
  1. stopped charting periods
  2. moved house
  3. became self-employed
  4. had huge amounts of painting to do



I could start the "stop, move, start and paint" fertility method, perhaps!

I had stopped Folic, all prenatals, everything then. I was pretty convinced it wasn't going to happen while I wasn't watching.............
