Hope you are all well. Re iodised salt, the reason it is recommended we eat it is that our every day diet is quite low in iodine (something to do with not much iodine in the soil), so you only need a little iodised salt to help you along. I think most breads also use iodised salt in them now. Most nutritional supplements for women trying to conceive will have iodine in them.
As for the men, make sure they are taking adequate zinc supplements - very good for their spermies. My naturopath had DH on zinc, vit c, multi vitamin and fish oil. If you go to a naturopath they will be able to design a good preconception care supplement program for both of you. It's a good idea to get a blood test to check your vitamin levels etc...i just found out I'm low in iron so red meat is back on the menu (DH hated me being a vegetarian so he's very happy now!)
As for O pains Keli - I used to get O pains for 24 hours just before my temp would increase. Like you, I was always unsure whether they meant I had ovulated or was about to, so we just tried to DTD as soon as I felt the pains...
Rhi - good idea to spend a night in the city...ramp up the romance and you never know....
Good luck to the girls coming up to O time or entering the 2ww....let's hope the Easter Bunny brings more than chocolate this Easter!
