    The dress looks beautiful lolly :) And funny you should be talking about weddings - I've just booked our honeymoon :j:j We got married last September but didn't have a honeymoon as all our cash went on the wedding and we didn't really want to put ourselves in debt just for a holiday ;) DH and I spent far more than we needed to on our wedding. As my family are all 250 miles away up country, I kind of felt like I had to make it worth their while to come down for the weekend. Daft really! :o All that really matters is that you are Mr and Mrs at the end of the day.

    Last time we booked a holiday, it ended up being cancelled as I got a blood clot in my leg and the Dr said I shouldn't fly. If I get pg, I'm at a higher risk of another clot, so this one may end up being cancelled too if I gat a BFP - but I'm happy to tempt fate if it helps the TTC cause!! :rotfl:

    Hi everyone

    You may remember (although probably don't!) that I posted a while back saying we would be starting to try around now - well here I am! We're not *officially* trying as yet, but I've just finished my pill for this month (well, Sunday just gone) and I'm not taking it again so between now and our wedding in April I won't be "trying" but if it happens then I guess I'll just be pretending to drink at the wedding!

    So, pop me on the list if you like, but I'll come back and update when I'm officially trying! Oh, I'm 32 by the way!

    xx

    Have been taking folic acid for about 3 months, have had my smear recently, cut down on alcohol. Not doing anything else yet - didn't think there was any point with the temperature stuff until my period finishes and I move back to "normal" (ie not pill controlled) cycle - is that right?

    You can start whenever you want, but first day of AF should be fine too.
    It's just that you may get pregnant before AF, in which case, you may want to know when you ov'd:p
  • Hugs, MV. By the way your name sounds like a person from a kafka novel. Where does it come from??

    In fact, this whole process is reminiscent of a kafka novel.

    POAS this morning (don't shout at me, I know...) BFN, AF on her way, bother!
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
