Sorry to start anon, but I know a few friends IRL that lurk on here and I don't want them to know we're trying until we're hopefully successful and we know everything is okay.

So anyway, we actually accidentally started trying last week. We've been together for 11 years and have talked so much on and off about when we are going to start trying and we kept putting it back and putting it back due to work and life. I came off the pill last month because it wasn't agreeing with me and we were going to go back to condoms and then last week forgot . I asked H if I should get the MAP and he asked me not to. We ended up having a big talk and he said he's been ready for ages and hasn't wanted to say anything because he knew I have more to give up with my career. I never realised he was as broody as I am, so we've decided just to go for it and see what happens. So AF is due next Sat and I am on my very first 2WW.

I have been lurking on here for about 3 years, but I may still have loads and loads of questions.

How exciting for you I hope it happens quickly for you.  Any questions just ask!

How exciting, bet you're both chuffed. xx

Actually here comes the first question, are there any good books about conception and right through pregnancy? Any recommendations?

There is a good book for ttc, called taking charge of your fertility by toni weschler, doesn't go right through pregnancy. I didn't buy anything like that at the beginning coz i just wanted to see what happened. But i bought it later on when it'd been quite a few months.

that book is waaaaaaaaay too scary. all that taking photos of your CM and chatting to your doctor about it lark. don't put her off before she's even started

not that i have an alternative, mind you. who needs a book when you have hitched?

Welcome to BT .  Hope you're not in the TTC category for long xx

Hello

I'm a bit of a BT noob and quite control freakish, I've bought a couple of books on fertility and whatnot and have already started charting with a vengeance. If you can avoid all that lark you definitely should. I'm already stressed out of my little mind!

I definitely don't want to start charting or anything (not yet anyway), we're on a 'if it happens it happens' thing. Well H is anyway, I'm stupidly excited because I feel like we've waited for ages to get to this point. I am quite control freakish too so I'll probably not be able to relax for long.

Okay I think I'll steer clear of the books for a while and just see how it goes.
