    We're offing and trying- any tips

    So DP have had a big talk last night and.... we're officially on the TTC band wagon. I was meant to start a new month on the pill today and I'm not... arrrrggghhh why do I feel so nervous.

    Really happy to be trying again, but would have loved to lose a good 30kgs before we did!

    Anyhow I'm suddenly having all these doubts. When we had DS it only took 3 weeks for us to get a BFP but this time I think things will be different. I was a total health food freak and was 20kgs lighter than I am now, also I was alot less stressed!
    DF was 20kgs lighter, and since then he has been on some pretty full on anti-deppresants, plus he is currently on Duromine. And of course he was less stressed.

    So I'm just wondering, do you think it will be easy for us, am I being Koo Koo or are my concerns actually well founded????

    Thanks in advance for reading!

    Hi,
    Congrats for starting your TTC journey.

    I have no (strong) advice regarding your concerns. Only there is no time like the present to eat lots of fruit and veg, do a bit of exercise (30 mins a day) and drink lots of water.

    Looking forward to reading your pregnancy announcement

    PS join a TTC group - its a god send

    I'm going to start taking the blackmores PG and BF multivitamins today! And DF and I are starting walking tomorrow. I also threw out any unhealthy food today form the pantry, in an effort to at least get my body balanced again...

    Good luck TTC this is how we tried for a girl and it worked for us, but obviously no promise's

    It is based on a 28 day cycle - up to day 14 is for a girl and from day 14 is for a boy - the first day of your period being day 1 - so I would recommend playing it safe and maybe only going to day 10 or 11 then using protection for the rest of the month for the first month and if nothing happens then maybe go to day 12 or 13 the next month.

    I think its BFP???

    I know everything will work out, but I'm just such a worry wort when it comes to things that I can't control, I just want everything to work out well.

    I think if I think about it the reason I'm concerned is that everything in me says "it can't be that easy twice!"

    Please someone tell me it can...
