A few friends know that DH and i are trying for no.2 and seem to have an unbridled need to tell me what day of the month we should be at it.

Have you told in them in depth about your cycle? If not, what the heck makes them think they know better than you??

they know we had problems conceiving DS and had to take clomid. I think they're just trying to be helpful but no they don't know my cycle (i don't really have one - preiods always very irregular) but give handy hints such as "you ovulate 14 days before your period so have sex then" or "i ovulated on day 8 so start trying from then".

it's just irritating from people who found it fairly easy to get pregnant.

They are just trying to be helpful then, I suppose, but seeing as you've already had some fertility problems, they should probably realise that you already know stuff like that. Can see how you'd find it a bit grating after a while. Good luck and best wishes to you.
