Hello Jennifer,
this may sound a little hocus pocus but.... there is a theory that we
are most fertile when the moon is at the same phase (new moon, full
moon, quarter etc)as it was when we were born. Look up the date of your
birth on a full moon calendar and see what you think.
Just thought i'd share it with you, best wishes Sami
