If you *want* to get pregnant, i highly recommend Taking Charge of Your Fertility (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Taking-Charge-Your-Fertility-Reproductive/dp/0091887585/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1200230840&sr=8-1) by Toni Weschler.

That's how i conceived the first one in 1 month trying - taking my temp every morning, and checking cervical mucus, which at the time didn't actually come out like it does now (everything's all stretched out, lol)...

This time i didnt need to temp, my cervical mucus was everywhere, lol. i knew when i was going to ovulate by noting days and signs for the month or two beforehand, so we just timed it on the predicted day in advance, and boom, here we are!

Thanks. I may just get that book. I do want to get pregnant only, I don't think right now is the time-I just applied to Uni.

Oh, i totally understand timing issues - that's what has kept us waiting since late July 2005, because we were planning to get it on then for number two, and then my life fell apart with a family tragedy and the mono/glandular fever and then everything else that brings us up to the present date.

That said i think if i had tried any sooner than August this year, i'd just have been disappointed, because i wasnt ovulating properly until pumpkin weaned, and i didnt want to rush her, she needed it.

*hugs* - you might try the library, they may have a copy of it rather than having to buy it.
