Hi shoegal, I agree with the others, take folic acid now and vitamin D, but even easier is to take vitamins especially for conception, such as pregnacare or solgar prenatal. It's a bit expensive, but worth it! I also take some omega 3 tablets, it's not necessary though. Make sure they're not from cod liver oil, because this contains vitamin A, which you don't want to take.
coffee hope you won't get a cold. I had one last month, sore throat first then a bad cold, which luckily only lasted a few days. I started doing this weird thing, rinsing my nose with a saline solution using neilmed sinus rinse. It's an uncomfortable feeling at first, but I found it works really well with a blocked nose and sinusitis! I was all blocked up, with sinus headaches, but rinsing has cleared everything up! Also safe to use during pregnancy, unlike those nose sprays.
Your GP is a bit of a party pooper! I can understand where she is coming from I suppose, because you could still be protected for a few months, but on the other hand, the hormone levels will be slowly decreasing so you might get pregnant. I can't believe you conceived while on the pill!
monstamio perhaps you can get a different brand of stick just to double check? I did read those of the internet are supposed to be good, but also superdrug cheapies? I got some yesterday, they're on offer as well.
disney me too! Very exciting. But I'm trying to stay rational, because I don't want to get too disappointed... although I'm not really succeeding
