Please be aware that this is a thread for those trying to concieve. If you wish to announce a pregnancy and you have never used this thread before, please use the less than 12 weeks pregnant thread. Hormones can run high on here (nature of the thread!) so please be sensitive. Many thanks

Also, an useful website telling you when to test, when you are ovulating and how the egg is developing etc found by Smash7 is here:http://www.pregnology.com

This website is also useful http://www.pregnancyloss.info/sperm_meets_egg_plan.htm
It details the Sperm Meets Egg Plan (SMEP) which some have found helpful in conceiving.

If I do the first post after the lists and stuff, that means I get my BFP first right?

thanks for setting this up, but can I suggest, in the politest possible way, that you ask Mrs_T_M to set up a new thread instead. She maintains the list, and the first post from Thread 9 is very out of date.

It only still exists as that user has moved on. If Mrs_T_M could set up the thread then she won't need to post all graduates etc in her post - but can maintain it in this one. It would be more efficient overall.

Not trying to offend at all - just a friendly suggestion, and thank you for giving your time helping manage the site.

I was shocked when I came online to find our thread closed!!! :mad: I understand why, but seriously, give me a bit of warning and I can make a new one!!!

Anyway, I'll be making a new thread, and updating the front page by tonight. I will be going through the last 2-3 months (possibly more) of posts, so it will take me a while. I'll go ahead and start the new thread so that we can discuss things, but I'll still be working on the thread first post.

Ok, started a new one here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/63347216#Comment_63347216

Mods, is there any way that a link can be posted at the end of thread 9 pointing people in the right direction? It's a bit rude to close off a thread and not let people know that there is a new one.
