Trying To Concieve

minskerella

Agnus Castus us supposed to be really good and you can get it from health food shops. I got pregnant on my first cycle with it, unless it was jsut luck! Only about a fiver so worth a try I'd say. There's lots of talk of it on babycentre and stuff, although they call it Vitex. They all seem to swear by it! Think you only take it in first half of cycle though as it messes with your hormones so you shouldn't take it if you're pregnant.

The cough mixture one worked for me, it sounds mad but apparently it thickens the cervical fluid and makes it easier for the sperm to swim up. This is due to some chemical which I've forgotton the name of, but I know as previously said that Robotussin contains it, you only take it during your peak fertile time, so three or four days at the most. Also try and get hold of a book called 'Taking Charge of your fertility' by Toni Weschler, the book is mainly about trying not to concieve but she then turns things on its head in the later chapters for those who want to. Some of her ideas sound bizarre, but are not necessarily so - for instance did you know that female discharge leaves different patterns on your underwear, and the more circular the pattern the more fertile you are!

I can recommend using the free temping chart on fertilityfriend.com as it can really point out the months when you don't ovulate so you can save the money and heartbreak over pregnancy tests.
We finally got pregnant after a year of trying through basal body temping and our first month using pre-seed gel (it keeps the little swimmers alive and swimming for longer! )
Good luck to all ttc x

Where can you buy pre-seed from?? I have heard a lot about it but because i have live out of uk for nearly 3 years and the whole time we have been ttc i never know where to get this stuff!

Missed O now, cd13 today (and hubby went away this morning! :mad: ) think he misses next O day aswell but i would like to get some and give it a try - hey anything is worth a go!!

DH is goin for his SA when he gets back aswell, which i cannot wait for whatever the results, because nothing else can be done until we have these results back, and if the results say his swimmers arent goin to get me pregnant, then we have each other to focus on rather than wasting sooo much time on TTC if its not going to happen.

I know thats a kinda horrible way to describe the whole process but me and DH have been together since we were 15 and we spent sooo much time making sure i DID NOT get pregnant, we just kinda expected to get pregnant and have a baby straight away, the time was perfect and everything. But what reality holds is something quite different!!

thanks for the comments girlies

Hubby and I have been ttc for 3 years now. I got pg the first time after just 2 months of trying but had a mc. Then it took about 18 months to get pg again but lost that pg too. The last mc saved my life though as cervical cancer was found during the D&C to remove the mc. I'm 32 in feb so really feel that time is against us.
We aren't doing anything special to conceive, except -on doctors advice- making love every 2-3 days as that is when sperm is at its best -apparently :rolleyes: After the cancer I kind of think.....well, if it doesn't happen we still have eachother but I really want a baby!! I have spoken to several specialists about ttc after the cancer and they are happy for us to try ourselves for a few more months before they will help.

Can I do any tests that don't involve looking at cervical mucus? As I only have a tiny bit of cervix left I don't get the mucus like I used to.

Thanks everyone and good luck with your own attempts at ttc

anyone ever tried chinese theraphy? (not the needle kind). my friend has been ttc for a while (3 years) but got pregnant after chinese ttc theraphy/consultation.

to statr with, you can start consuming more 'nutritious' food. pineappples and melons should be avoided at all cost, as the are 'cold'. during fertile time (13-15), cut down your consumption of fruits.

not quite sure abotu the details, but it apparently works. can check the internet if you're interested.

OMG just wrote a massive reply and then it disappered gggrrrrrr!

Well DH got home on friday night (cd13 and cd14) so im not miserable about missing O now! Think im Ovulating today though but we will see!

I dug my thermometer out yesterday and thought i might temp for a month or two and just make sure everything is still as i think!

rjh090384 - congrats hunni :T have a Happy and Healthy 9 months!!


shelly - So sorry on your loss' hunni! Me and Dh had the, if we cant have a baby its ok, at least we will always have each other talk the other night. I told him that i try to set my mind into thinking im not that bothered if i get pg or not, But no matter how hard you try to kid yourself i want a baby more than anything else! Have you ever tried temping and charting?? its really good and might really benefit you. Try FertilityFriend - i did it for a year and it totally helped me understand when i was most fertile, when af was due etc etc.
