Recipe Wanted - How to Make a Baby
Okay...
After spending far too long on Google I have devised a plan to get me knocked up. This will be done in conjunction with taking copious amounts of artificial stimulants and hormones, blood tests, scans, at least two invasive and painful procedures each cycle and the occasional bonk with DP - ok, more than occasional ;) !
If anyone has anything to add; advice on what to eat, what not to eat, etc, etc...Please feel free to post. Thanks :)
