Interesting read...
I was doing my usual round of reading the newspapers on line and found the following in the Sun:
The points 1-6 are from Zita West's Guide to Fertility and Assisted Conception: Essential Advice on Preparing Your Body for IVF and Other Fertility Treatments:

I haven't started TTC yet but liked this point "In the meantime, get fit, drop any unhealthy habits and don't worry about fertility gizmos such as temperature charts or ovulation kits - these just make you anxious and obsessional, and that won't help your fertility at all."

This one has a little quiz that you can do:

From the use of the OPK and charting, it made me feel good that i am ovulating, and on which day.
It isn't the best advice though!
More passion equals better quality sperm, and that's a fact.
For a man to have sex he has to have desire - higher desire means more testosterone and a greater quality of sperm.
What a load of crap! If that was true why would we have so many knocked-up teenagers!? Really!
Didn't mean to offend anyone by posting those articles. Like I said I haven't started TTC yet but I am hoping like I guess everyone does that it will happen naturally without having to work out when I am ovulating etc. I know for a fact my AF's will be irregular when I come off my pill (29th April).
Bless you baby-princess sorry for making you rant.
I think I will just let my body get used to coming off my pill and still BD as usual. If I don't fall in the first couple of months then I will start using OPK's.
Hope I am forgiven; didn't meant to upset anyone by those articles... xx
