There was a thread here a while back but I seem to have lost it.
DH and I have decided to start trying in Jan, but I am now getting very impatient! We're going on hols in Dec to sonewhere it would be pretty hideous to be suffering with early pregnancy symptoms, so it makes perfect sense to wait, but it's driving me mad!
It's not so long ago that I was in two minds about getting started and holding on for as long as possible 
Anyone in the same/similar boat?

Yes Emmylu it will be our first. I got really stroppy with DH yesterday because the cleaning of the spare room (will be the nursery) for replastering, decorating etc was not going fast enough. He was also been a general arse, so didn't back down, but I feel a bit silly afterwards 
Boymeetsworld (I remember that!) I am also wondering about that. I'd like a few months break from all the decorating etc and just to live a normal life (and DH wants to keep practising as long as possible 
but I keep thinking what if it doesn't happen?
And Luisa is right about the hormones. Where did they come from all of a sudden?!

Just explained to DH why I got so ratty at the weekend about the shift tin timetable and I think he was a bit surprised. He instantly changed the subject and wandered off into the next room. That's usually a sign that he's feeling very uncomfortable

Hi mirai well I was concerned about this having read various things claiming trying too early after Mirena can cause MC. Asked doc at removal - he said wait till period returns (however light) then good to go

LadyEm i came off the pill 10 months ago and only now starting to regulate! Other than that just taking folic, eating well and exercising...was actually very exciting just buying folic acid and getting cracking on it! Feels like I'm doing something ...!

I'll go for 11 days too I think (subject to change :p)
Off to get some folic this weekend. Oh, and 'conception lube' lol. The glamorous world of PreTTC

Yep I think the folic is about being pro-active as there is not much else I can do yet and am the impatient sort! Actually one other thing I did yesterday was pick up some conceive plus too Boy - "just in case it got to jan and I was caught short!" what are the chances?!
have any of you guys told anyone in the real world about your intended start date/month (other than gp)? We haven't as don't know how long it might take and don't want the pressure (however well intended)

Me too!! November for us! Our new house should be have all the boxes ticked for the mortgage by the end of this week!
A bit worried as had implant out early August, had a period about 2 weeks after and nothing since then. On day 37 or something by now 
I know it takes time for your body to settle but 
, want to be able to have babies as soon as we can! Not to finally be the right time and I'm not actually ovulating.
On the folic acid, there's nothing else for it!
