another question i would like to ask any of you lovely ladies is: do i need to make an appt at the docs, or just get on with folic acid, zinc (for him) and regular BDing?! (see, i'm getting into the swing of things already!!!!)
don't get toooooo crazy about things otherwise you will get down very quickly when AF shown up
don't forget the fun you will have trying LOL
agree with shuck - get taking that folic acid and enjoy the bd - ing! xx
Good luck TTC x
i feel like i'm new again as i don't know know anyone as i've been away for almost a year but i'm not a newbie!.
GOOD LUCK
charlotteb2b - i am also on the sanatogen vits and agree that they are good, as they have everything i could ever need! just need to stick to healthy diet now!
sparkling diamond....not sure of af due date yet, as not had 'real' one. i came off pill on 30 nov and had af for 2 days on 2nd and 3rd. so not sure it'll be xmas BFP!
I'm new here too! I'm also on Sanatogen vits (have been for over 6 months - was on just folic acid before that). I find it very interesting that I haven't had so much as a snuffle this year - and I normally get at least one cold in the autumn. Is this a coincidence?
Good luck and baby dust!
PS thanks for asking about all those abbreviations
are you actively trying yet?! how long has it been? for me, its been one day!! haha!
i agree, i have been pretty ok this year in terms of illness...touch wood! although, had sinusitis a few weeks back and that was nasty!!!
baby dust for you too!!!
oh, and there is one more abbreviation that isnt on that list, which keeps coming up - SMEP?! anyone?!
We've been trying 12 months and no luck yet.
Trying to stay positive. It is great to talk to other people on here!!
