Hi everyone, hope everyones ok this morning.

Nothing much going on here - this month of coming off the pill but using condoms is vv boring and is really dragging when all I really want to do is get on with the business of ttc! Spoke to my doctor on the phone yesterday as I had a few questions re blood pressure, iron levels etc - all ok and they don't wish to see me beforehand so now we are just playing a waiting game til xmas!! My next AF can't come quick enough!

Bleugh well I went out last night, ate far too much and probably consumed near enough a bottle of red wine...naughty I know

Not feeling too clever this morning. Ropey feelings in my tummy (probably a bit of a deli belly!) and just feeling a bit rough and tired generally. Got the day off, but we have had decorators in the last couple of weeks doing various bits, and although they should be finished by the end of today, I cant just relax at home and walk around in my pants....bah!

Days like that I wish I was 18 again..... no hangover and could do a whole days work on 2 hours sleep:rolleyes::rotfl:

Would anyone recommend using one of the early hpt that give you an answer before your period. I am soooooo tempted, cos AF isn't due for another 2 weeks, and I want to know sooner rather than later!

The short answer is No:p

Good Morning Ladies. I hate all this waiting around for the testing period. And I'm only on my first month of trying!!! How do you ladies cope?

We don't!!! Haven't you noticed we're all mentalists?!!?!:p:rotfl:

I am totally cream crackered today feel like I spent the whole night raping DH:o:o He was too tired and couldn't be bothered but I wasn't having any of it coz my cervix was high(still not sure how you know if it's open though!) so figured OV is just around the corner:D Looks like it'll be an early night for tonight;)

Just been cruising and found this info. Interesting stuff :

Week 1This is the first day of your period so technically you're not actually pregnant yet however you can prepare your self for pregnancy by taking folic acid supplements and getting your self in to a gentle exercise routine. Exercise in pregnancy is so important if you want to enjoy your nine months with minimum pain and discomfort and even a basic routine, like a ten minute walk every day will make a big difference.
You might also want to think about your diet, increase your intake of fresh fruit, vegetables and high fire foods and try to cut out highly refined starchy foods.
Week 2If you are a smoker and haven't already thought about giving up then now is the time to do it. Smoking is associated with infertility in both men and women and the effects of smoking and passive smoking during pregnancy are well documented. Research also suggests that alcohol is a bigger risk at the time of conception and during the early weeks than was previously thought; there are links to certain birth defects and in extreme cases mental and physical abnormalities. To be on the safe side avoid drinking alcohol if you are trying for a baby.
Week 3Time to conceive that baby!!
Your vaginal discharge goes through a series of changes throughout the month, just after menstruation there is very little mucus but it is cloudy, sticky and thick. As you approach the fertile period it becomes abundant, clear and stretchy, as soon as you notice this change you have entered your fertile period. When the mucus becomes cloudy, sticky and thick again you have left your fertile period. Depending on the length of your cycle your fertile days are usually between the 9th and 21st day after the first day of your last period. Frequent intercourse does not help conception, as the more often ejaculation occurs the fewer sperm are ejaculated. When trying for a baby it is more helpful for you partner to abstain from ejaculation for a few days before your fertile period and for you to have intercourse just once a day during your fertile days.
Week 4The fertilized egg divides into two within 24 hours and continues to divide as it makes its way down the fallopian tube into the uterus; it is now a ball of cells known as a blastocyst. The blastocyst implants itself in to the wall of the uterus and you might experience some bleeding at around this time. The embedded blastocyst now starts producing a hormone; this stops you having your period, and shows in your urine.
Try a home pregnancy test, some can detect this hormone up to three days before you period is due.
Week 5

back to top

The embryo is gently floating in the amniotic fluid, attached by the umbilical cord and is easily seen with the naked eye. The spinal column starts to develop and the foundations of the brain and spinal cord begin to appear.
You might start to 'feel pregnant' already, are you suddenly very tired, do you feel nauseous, have tender breasts, need to urinate more frequently? All of these symptoms can begin as early as week 5, as can a sudden dislike for certain foods and drinks.
