So even though you can not tell the ovulation date exactly, the wife has told me that she has felt some 'feelings' in the lady areas which usually indicate the start of the ovulation.

As we are in 'full swing' of our baby making exercises it is a good sign indeed.

I guess now is a good time to add that we have already bought 4 home pregnancy tests in anticipation of something happening.

I have a sneaky suspicion that this will be the most pleasant part of the baby making process ... I can't wait
