I've had regular but really light periods for the past year since I've come off the pill, I wonder if that means that I'm not ready to get pregnant yet?

Yes I hardly used to notice PMT or my period when I was on the pill, now I'll have to plan my holiday for the 2 weeks that I won't have either, otherwise it won't be much fun!

I came off the pill last June and STILL not pregnant so I don't think anything will be wrong. Maybe see your doctor, they might just tell you to wait a bit longer but it should put your mind at rest.

Hi Seraphim! Thanks for your reply, I found it really helpful. I think you could be right about him preparing us just in case he does have a problem. I asked him ages ago if he’d ever made anyone pregnant or if any ex girlfriends had any miscarriages or abortions and he said no but I...

That's really helpful thanks! I only get faint lines and last time I waited for a darker line till doing the bd, but the next day there was no line so I think we left it too late again! The month before we did it one day early which should have been ok but no luck either! I read that if you...

Well, I spoke to him about it, I said I was upset that he hadn't done the test yet, and he was annoyed! He said my comment had come out of nowhere, he'd been working 11 hour days and he didn't think it was that important! He then apologised but said that he would do the test in 2 weeks, but he...

Thanks, I will!

I had a fertility test in April (I’m 39 so was allowed one after we’d been trying for 9 months just to put my mind at rest!) and it was fine, phew! I’m not too old and everything is still working fine! The problem is that my husband STILL hasn’t done his test and I’m getting impatient! I know...

I would say try not to think about it but its taken me a year to get to that stage! I hope it will be quicker for you! Every time you catch yourself worrying about it, force yourself to think about something else. My friends and family have never had so many good wishes with me constantly trying...

When we first decided to try for a baby I was quite excited and made a simple ovulation chart to work out when the best times would be. I didn’t want to go overboard but got some ovulation sticks too, just to check that I was actually ovulating, because I was 38. I thought it would take about 3...

What did you decide? Apparently you can't be pregnant 4 days after ovulation anyway because it won't have implanted yet, so you should be fine!

Thanks everyone! I've decided to go back to enjoying myself and relax and hopefully it will work. If not then at least I won't have put my life on hold!

One of my friends said she got pregnant on honeymoon too and she was drinking wine every evening! I heard that until the cells actually implant they can't be affected by alcohol, but too much alcohol can alter your hormones and prevent implantation, so moderation seems like the way to go...

'To help the pregnancy', that's funny! My friend was recommended to drink red wine and Guiness for the iron and her daughter is fine! Thanks for the advice!
