(that i dont have yet :C )..

i started taking my pill last week for a few days as i completely forgot, should i, take agnus castus or should i take folic acid.

I think the general advice is start folic acid as soon as you want to TTC- if not before! So yes, I would start it. I started the day after stopping the pill- it isn't going to do any harm and it's so important when you are pregnant.

Try Holland and Barrett, they often do half price deals, I think I got a years supply for about a fiver! Much cheaper than the branded preconception pills which are about £10 a month!

Pregnacare etc are great if that's what you want to do, but I thought they were extremely expensive for use during TTC. My GP said just definately go for the folic acid and keep up as good a diet as poss. Worth visiting yours for advice/checkup and see what they say.
Good luck with your TTc journey!

Really :O il start taking them tonight then i brought the wrong ones, i brought pregnacare but its for when your preg :S.. And it has the normal vits and folic acid in so maybe if i just start taking them they shall be fine

Il nip to holland and barrat because thats really good, mine were expensive about a tenner and theres not much in there! I dont really eat healthy but ive been trying to eat a lot of fruit lately so im sure that will help.

I wonder how long it will take!! thankyou hun you too

Totally get what you mean about there being pregnant women everywhere. My neighbour who I don't see very often came out of her house with a massive baby bump the other day!! When did that happen!!

Don't worry about maternity pay:

You must be employed by the same employer without a break for at least 26 weeks by the end of the 15th week before the week your baby is due. Part weeks count as full weeks

although ima bit worried about work, i started jan 4th and i read somewhere u have to be working there 26 weeks before u can leave for maternity and in that time you cant be preg.. i dont wanna leave before ive started if that makes sense?

I'm sure the last thing you want to see is another pregnant woman (sorry!) but I thought I'd pop over to TTC to see if I can be of any help to anyone.

Just to let you know I was in a similar boat of worry but I've checked it out - you can be pregnant in that 26 weeks before leaving, as long as you are working and paying NI it's fine If you are wanting SMP it's 26 weeks for the employer (providing it's a permanant contract) and if it's MA you're after then it's 26 weeks during a 66-week period before the birth. Don't worry, there's no clauses about being pregnant during that period!

Hope you get your soon! Mine was after coming off Cerazette xx
