My fertility problem (in theory) is that I will sometimes only ovulate once every few months when things are normal, and any emotional disturbance can affect that as well. So I doubt I would be ovulating, but it's certainly worth checking - my system is messed up enough that you never know! Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion - and for the food ideas - I really think diet does make a big difference but I do get slack - I love chocolate.

I was planning on getting a pack of ovulation tests, if I had done it straight away after posting previously I would probably have been ovulating!! So still no guarantees about conceiving but hey at least I don't have to worry about weaning dd now - yay. |
