Welcome tetley and finbarr 
Tetley- lot's of seducing sounds like a very good plan, get lots in there at the ready. Masses of finger crossing for you, would be typical if you got your BFP on the month you go to the docs, it happened to a friend of mine, she had been trying for nearly 2 years, and boom! She felt a little silly but obvs v v happy. So best of luck to you.

It's been a long time since I've been on the pill.. But back when i was, if i was to miss a pill or two (and I did!) i would get a mini period/heavy spotting- not as bad as AF, and although I had some naughty time I never fell pregnant. If it were me, I would POAS, but only if I had some cheapies, to put my mind at rest, but not be a waste of money, as deep down I would prob believe I wasn't, but you always hold onto that little bit of hope don't you! You deff wouldn't be alone there!
I've felt ovulation before, this wasn't as painful, I think it's just things having a bit of a rumble in that ovary beforehand, I'm going to cover all bases incase it does mean I might OV a bit earlier and just start the SWI process
