Hello!

This is our 1st attempt at TTC & I'm very excited & scared all at the same time! I have never charted my cycle or taken my temps to find out when I ovulate, so this attempt will be a bit of trial & error I think!

I am always regular with my periods etc (might be 1-2 days out some months. I only ever bleed for about 1-2 days, then just brown spotting after that for about 2 days. I always get really heavy/sore boobs, bloating in my stomach & lots of gas (sometimes even nausea) about day 14 after my period which makes me think this would be signs of ovulation?

The 1st day of last period was 22/07/07 & 14 days from then (assuming that I ovulate around day 14) was 04/08/07. We DTD on 03/08/07, 04/08/07 & 06/08/07 and will DTD again tonight (we were both WAY too tired last night - may have been THE night too!

If we don't conceive this cycle, I want to learn how to chart so that we can pinpoint exactly when I ovulate and we'll give it another go then. I will be dissapointed if AF arrives (which should be around the 18/08/07), however, I know that it can take months or even years to fall pregnant, so if it is bad news for us this cycle, we'll just keep trying

Wish us luck everyone!
