Introduction
I have just found out I am pregnant with my third baby. I got pregnant in the first month with my first, but it took almost a year with the second. This time we had barely decided to start trying again, when it just happened anyway!

Trying-to-Conceive (TTC) experience
My second pregnancy took almost a year to happen. During that time my periods were very erratic and I had numerous test to see if I had developed PCOS, which remained inconclusive. Since having my second baby I did not go back on the pill and my periods returned to a regular 4 weekly cycle.
We had sort of decided to start trying again when my baby turned 1 yr. This felt quite soon after, but as it took so long last time, I felt more relaxed about it taking so long it the same situation happened again. However, we then decided to wait a while when a family issue arose... but after careless indulgence (you know what I mean!) I found that I am now pregnant. A pleasant supprise and amazed that it happened so quickly. I almost feel that it happened so quickly because I was relaxed and not expecting it to happen - we will never know!

Charting Experience
I used fertility charting whilst trying to concieve my second child, it was great at helping me to spot patterns, particularly as my periods weren't the most regular during this time. I particularly found taking my BBT helpful.
This pregnancy I didn't have the opportunity to make much of an entry, although it did help me look at how my cycle was going to see the likelyhood of my feeling of being pregnant come true - and it was right!

The Internet
I was particularly interested in ovulation and found quite good information about the process. However I also found that by using the facilities on the internet, such as fertility charting, it helped to understand my own cycles, which were very different from all the pre-emted information available.

Other Thoughts?
If I ever decide to have a fourth - which is highly unlikely at this point! I would certainly use fertility charting. I found it took alot of the stress out of trying, and to see your cycle visually helped to understand what my body was actually doing.
