Hi Sam. I've started charting this month as I never know when I ovulate. In that sense its a good thing to do, but it does make it all very clinical. I've been trying to fall pg for a year now and so I decided to chart and see whats happening. If you have very regular periods, always around the same amount of days and you dont want to make things regimental already, then I would suggest that you leave charting for a few months and see what happens. What ever you decide theres lots of great ladies here that can help you out

If things arn't regular hun then it might be a good idea to chart. Coming off the pill just stacks it up before you start really. It does take a while to get out your system, but then my sis fell the 1st month she stopped taking it (jammy moo).

yes she is jammy! my mum was on the pill many moons ago and feel pg with my sister the 1st month she came off it

thanks for your help xx
