Thought I would give this a try. Not sure if I will keep this up as I have also got a chart on Mycycle and my OH has made me a spreadsheet which I also update. I will see how things go.

CD1

Witch has got me (she got me early at CD 25). Have been looking up loads of articles on the internet on how to get pregnant. Not sure why as I got caught really early in October/November last year without too much hassle.

Anyway, strategy for March.

I have worked out that most fertile time for BD is from CD 5 to CD 18. This is worked out from taking your longest cycle day (in my case 28 days) then taking away 10 and then taking that away from your shortest cycle (in my case 25 days) and taking that away from 20.

Shortest cycle = 25 - 20 = 5
Longest cycle = 28 - 10 = 18

Cant remember which website I found it on but I will try this out. Not sure about going from CD 5 as I should be coming to the end of AF which is not particularly a sexy time as I am still bleeding. Maybe a day later.

I must go and buy some Folic Acid as I am only taking a multi vitamin with 1/2 the recommended dose that I should be taking.

Might start cycling to work soon as the mornings are lighter and the days are longer.

Getting excited already.

babydust for your new journal! good luck next cycle! that equation about calculating your most fertile days seems interesting!

Cheers Samo, yeh, I am going to give it a go. If this doesnt work for March, then I am back to googling again!

Good luck with your imminent testing lovely xx

Babydust hun - and good luck for your journal - i find myself updating it a few times day!

Cheers Alice. I think this will be a good tool so I can monitor where I am at.

I am really excited about it.

A psychic I went to see said that I would conceive in March/April so hopefully it will be in 2008!

I just clutch onto anything anyone tells me

Awww all the best for this round!! Sounds like you are well prepared!!

I am Chellebelle, raring to go.

I hope you are okay and the wait is not driving you to distraction.

Good luck lovely and hope you get a BFP this month xx

Welcome to the world of journals honey. You sound really positive and excited about this next cycle so that's great. Exercise deffo helps, according to the experts so cyling in is ideal. I need to start doing that too ... christ, I work a 7-min cycle away so I really have no excuse!

Deffo get the folic acid sorted asap. Try Pregnacare as they have all the vits u need and folic acid. I think u need to be careful about what vits u take so pregnacare is ideal cos u know 4 sure ur taking the right ones then. Only £5 I think for 30 days.

Not sure if you have to BD from day 5 if AF still on. Just as soon as it finishes.

Good luck. x

Hey Rumpskin, I've found my journal quite therapeutic, I hope you do too. Hope you get your BFP soon. Nic xx

U seem a very nice person....and i hope nice things happen to you and that clairvoyant woman is right!!!!!
So for the time being....
