That is such lovely news you must be thrilled! I will definitely check out the preseed conception. Im buying every aid and supplement under the sun, our house now looks like Holland and Barrett! But I eat it so badly it's worth it!

Sailing with AF, not ideal but actually being busy will make the non-fertile days go quicker so you can get on with the business of baby making!
It was my DH who is the doctor - he's a surgeon so knows how to cut people up but that's about it! (fefi probably makes it even less likely you'd go near him eh? 
). We are lucky to have lots of doctor friends from all specialities but I'm not telling people we are trying because I'm so scared I won't be able to conceive and I'd rather people didn't know yet. Obviously after a while people will guess I suppose but for now! As time goes on, I have a close female friend who is obs and gynae so I will probably confide in her if necessary.

Well if the OPK says to shag, you shag and your vag is just gonna have to deal!
I am scared of birth in the abstract but as at now I don't think about it too much. I just figure that it's something to be got through and women have been getting through it for thousands of years. So the pain I can rationalise (along with already knowing I want an epidural!) but I would be scared of baby not being born safely.
That's good to know though mummyG! My mum says the same, she says yes it hurts but it's exciting and the really awful bit towards the end doesn't last that long.
fefi that must be useful to know about the human body when it comes to TTC, I seem to spend my life on google these days!
To do bold, it's not a tag, you just click on the 'I' icon at the bottom and you can do it but there's no need really, I'm just in the habit.
Sorry if I've missed anyone!
No sign of anything resembling a symptom of a cycle here! I'm very bloated and have low level cramping so hopefully AF not too far away and I can get cracking.
In fairness to my body, had I still been on the pill, my bleed would have been tomorrow. I know that's not the test, but it gives me hope that I'm not massively late yet.
In fact, I took my final pill on 17 May. I've been taking the 2-4 weeks for period to come back from then. But actually, the change came when I didn't restart the next packet on 25 May. When should I count my weeks from? I guess I stopped having the hormones on 17 May but my body is used to that, so maybe it only jolted in on 25 when the new packet not forthcoming.
Ah well, sunny weekend coming up when I can try to relax and forget about it (yeah right!)
