OK here goes… Have been wondering for about 2months whether to begin a journal??? I know it’s silly but thought if I began jotting my experiences it may mean I am signing up for the duration!!! Anyway after posting in the ttc forum I was given some good advice by a few of the ladies regarding the pros and cons so here I am…

I’m 31 and my DH is 5years older than me. We have been married nearly 2years, together 5½years. I have been broody all my adult life, but we decided to wait until our lives were a little less hectic to begin ttc, which is now, yay!!!

My hubbie thinks making babies is simple, sperm + egg = baby! Think he is in for a surprise. He likes the natural way of doing things, not too many discussions about it (hence why this forum is a godsend) and let mother nature wave her wand, he has no idea all the extra effort I’m putting in behind the scenes !!!

So a little history… I came off the contraceptive patch in Dec 2007 with the aim of over the next few months “if it happens it happens”, however didn’t get the amount of baby dancing sessions in we would have liked due to illness and trips in and out of hospital. So May was really the start of things (including joining BnB), with June being the first month we really put the effort in.

Went away to Greece a couple of weeks ago on holiday and luckily coincided with ovulation so we certainly covered all bases then! So now into the 2ww…. Will keep you updated...


P.S. thanks to Suzanne for creating this gem for my journal…x.

Just thought I would update with what I've been doing so far to assist the ttc process...

Been on folic acid since Dec, just incase I got lucky straight away.
Changed my multi-vit to a prenatal vit.
Take EPO at the start of my cycle.
Drink a glass of grapefruit juice a day.
Changed DH's multi-vit to Wellman.
Bought preseed and used around Ovulation.
Finished sessions in 'ideal' posistion.
Stayed in bed min of 15-30mins.
Drinking lots of water.
Looking for Cm signs.
Bought OPK's and used them, ok a bit randomly, but still used them. Got a +ve in June, but haven't used them in July as we were on hols. Planning on using them next cycle.
Read Zita Wests book which I thought was good, but really enjoyed and actually preferred 'The Fastest Way to Get Pregnant Naturally: The Latest Information on Conceiving a Healthy Baby on Your Timetable by Christopher Williams' which was half the price of Zita Wests.


Not charting yet, doesn't appeal to me, but will see how long I can refrain! Some of you know I have little will power!!!

Anything else you can recommend ladies??? x.

Suzanne

What do you mean you have got OPK's to use for your next cycle???? There will be NO next cycle LOL! Well fingers crossed there wont be!

Your welcome on the TAG front hunny, hopefully I will be making a new one congratulating you on your real soon!
