Hi all.
I stumbled across this post a couple of weeks ago and have been enjoying following all your ups and downs...has really helped me put my own, so far relatively short, experience of ttc into context.
DH and I got married back in August and have been ttc since Jan this year. I'm 31 and DH is 41. During a drunken conversation at hogmany DH suggested that I should stop taking my pill and we have been enjoying doing the BD since. I spent the best of my adult life trying not to get preggers so having unprotected sex still feels a bit naughty and exciting...hoping that feeling won't wear off too soon.
Cycle is still returning to normal and we have just been doing the BD whenever we feel like it rather than trying to time for OV. Next AF due 4th April but not expecting a BFP this month, although it would be a lovely surprise. Assuming BFN think I will start tracking BBT and use OPK next time round.

Tabitha - start taking folic acid or one of the vitamin supplements for pre-pregnancy which contain folic acid could also see if OH willing to take supplements too - my OH has a pre-dad supplement which contains zinc which helps strengthen the sperm. Start working out your cycles with a view to trying to see when you OV - (try charting or ov testing kits).
Tinks - good to see that you are still lurking on here x

Yes i'm on FF and if i can figure out how to post my chart then i will do so so everyone can have a good laugh at it. It's very strange this month to say the least. Any ideas how i can link it to here?

There's a "My Homepage" link on the left hand menu. I think if you go there, there is a link on the left hand menu at the bottom saying "Share this page", that gives you the link you need to share the chart. On the My Homepage page you can choose the link "Homepage Settings" and this enables you to choose which bits of the graph you want to display.

Hope that helps.

Afternoon ladies, hope everyone is keeping up the PMA?

Just been for lunch with one of my oldest friends - she's just found out she's 6 weeks pg, she wasn't trying at all and was on the pill. She's a long haul air hostess and her OH works 12 hour days - so if it happened for her we can should all feel confident!

Feeling quite good about it as she's only 4 hours older than me - so I'm definitely not too old

hello everyone, I know I've not been around for a little while but we really were going to put off ttc, at least for 3 months possibly more, however after speaking with OH I dont think we can wait. It is so hard to be careful when DTD when what you really want is a baby, it just doesnt make sense. Anyway am due 3rd april and I'll be testing everyday from now until AF arrives because I need to know either way.

Hi Ladies,

Hope you are all keeping well.

Teenie - Sorry for the BFN. But until AF comes there's still hope.

Merfe - Nice to see you again. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Tabitha and Claire - Welcome to the thread. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and we'll help

Dusty - Hope your tests are going ok. Make sure you stick around here please. You need to keep us updated with your hol plans!

Sorry, brain like a sieve - can't remember much else. Came onto the internet to email my wedding photographer (from over 6 months ago ) to tell him which pics I want in the photo album! Parents giving me earache about not ordering it yet. But of course, the power of MSE is too strong for me not to visit!

CD5 for me. OV time will be when I'm on jury service. Lovely!

Oooh, do you remember the thread that was up about the baby names book giveaway? I got a book :j Now if that isn't forward planning then I don't know what is lol!

Hugs and sticky baby dust to all x

Merfe - fingers crossed for you x
Sammy - good to here from you, could be a sign of things to come getting a copy of the book, hope this cycle is the one for you x

Ugh the afternoon is D R A G G I N G...

But I am leaving at about 5ish as I have my 2nd reflexology app't at 7

I'm hoping that all the BD'ing and reflexology will pay off for us this month, but as I told OH last night, I'm not going to let it ruin my birthday if it's another BFN. I will simply use it as an excuse to get very merry indeed! :beer:

Tinks - how are you feeling? I can imagine it's a bit nerve-shredding, but fingers crossed for a sticky bean this time..you deserve it!
