Hi Tony & Kelly,

My husband is very cheeky isn't he! Only thinking about his own interests here!

I was not planning to officially start trying until after my next period (whenever that is due) and then serioulsy taking note of how long my cycle is etc. I wasn't going to chart my cycle to find out when I ovulate etc straight away.... I think taking your temperature every day waiting for the pefect time to make a baby could actually be really unromatic! We were just going to do the deed & see if anything eventuated from it.... and if months had gone by with no positive result, then look to do the charting thing. My cycle is fairly regular - I know my period usually arrives on a weekend - I just cant remember how many weeks ago my last one was!

My friend who is now 26 wks pregnant planned for a girl, did everything by the book, took her temperature every day and stressed out to the max over it all..... she says her baby making experience was terrible and to top it all off... it's a boy, not a girl. To top it off... the book that they went by (Dr Shettles) told them that she had to refrain from having an orgasm to conceive a girl.... so she really had a crappy time conceiving didn't she! Poor thing

Thanks for the info too Kelly! Much appreciated.
