Decided to 'actively try' in 2018

[LittleMe03]

I came off the injection 18 months ago with intentions of conceiving in the near future, fully aware that it can take up to 12 months for period and body to go back to normal etc.

After 6 months my periods restarted and at the time we just decided to have the attitude that if it happened it happened, was in no big rush but would have been happy if i fell pregnant, but I didn't.

After a chat with my DP a few weeks back we have decided that we would like to actively try to conceive now.

Just after some tips really, other than obviously having sex

I have been taking pregnancy supplements now for the last couple of weeks after being told by a relative it was best to do so whilst trying to conceive and not just after finding out I am pregnant.

Yep great you've come to the right place! Firstly id say to download an app like ovia as it's good to start tracking your cycles because you'll notice little cramps and sore boobs at random times throughout your cycle. That way you won't automatically assume you are pregnant when actually it is just hormones. Next you could start using the opk sticks.....have sex every other day and a few days around ovulation and you'll be off to a great start! Good luck x

We usually start eating better, being more active, I start tracking my periods (which luckily are like clock work), we don't really drink anymore so we cut it out completely.

Ovia is a great app! If you don't want to do ovulation tests just yet I would say track your temp and CM and if you get really impatient start using opks.

Thank you

I used OPKs (I found them less hassle than temping and looking for ovulation signs) and had "targeted" sex for a few days each side of a positive OPK. Not romantic!! Be prepared for it to feel a bit like a chore. But it worked.
