    Try not to stress too much hon (I know it's hard). It took us 5 months of trying to conceive DS, I was guessing when I was ovulating and working around those dates, but each month nothing happened. Then I bought an app for my iphone where you record your AF etc and it predicts the dates where you are most likely to get pregnant. We DTD on each of those 4 days and voila we got pregnant that month. Maybe it's worth starting to look closely at your cycle and see what's happening...

    But that said it really isn't unusual for it take awhile to fall pregnant, I know people who have fallen the first month of the pill and others who it took 18 months (with 6 months of trying at the end). I think because our society is so used to birth control we expect that the minute one stops taking it they will fall pregnant, but in reality there are a lot of things that have to align for conception to occur, that's why it really is a miracle. Yes, before the pill people did have bigger families, but their families weren't that big and they weren't falling pregnant straight away, everytime iykwim? Anyway, that's my little rant! But I guess what I'm trying to say is don't be so hard on your body, it is very unlikely that there is anything wrong, sometimes those miracles just take a little longer than we expect.

    Good luck! x

    It's called Woman Calendar, from memory it was about $8 or $9 but worth it. It has so many different things that you can record, from temps, to cramps, mucus etc.
