Trying To Concieve

superstar_2

Sorry to invade your thread. I am young guy, i am not planning for a baby[no gf yet! ]

Anyway, just my point of view from a medical perspective. If you're trying for over 24 months without contraception & with regular penetrative intercourse, then you should consult your GP. GP will do a general bloods etc and then refer to you & partner to fertility clinic. More tests will be done there. There will be scans done on the ladies for tubal damage, block, PCOS etc and for the lads - sperm count, morphology and motility will be analysed. This can be referred to a NHS clinic by your GP, which will be cost-effective as well.

After the tests, the results and explained to you[I'm sure they'll all be normal, you lovely people!] and better explanation will be given on better conceiving chnaces such as some of the things you have been talking here, sexual position, time of the day, changing enviroment, control the stress etc.

I am sure things will be all ok at the end of the day.

Just my 2 cents!

Hi all

I am on cycle 10 of trying to conceive baby number 2. Had a MC in June and we were going to wait till next year but then we couldn't wait that long!

My AF was due on the 16th of this month and still hasn't arrived but i daren't buy a test just yet i will probably try and wait a few more days and just hope AF doesn't show in the mean time!

It has taken us 13 years to concieve or 2nd, We've had a few mc's on the way. Last year i was advised to take a couple of different herbal nutritional remedies by a friend and within 6 months i was pregnant:j

Are you short, thin, or both?

Being underweight can affect your cycle (for me, losing half a stone or so was enough to make periods a bit odd) I think it's all about whether you're a healthy weight for your size.

Whats being short got to do with it??

If you don't mind me asking...what were the herbal remedies you took? I know not everything works for everyone but I can do research and talk to my consultant to see if he thinks it might help. He said on Monday that if i'm not pregnant by summer he's going to refer me back to a fertility doctor to talk about procedures. I'd much rather have it happen naturally IYKWIM.

I am on CD31 today and AF has still not shown. Keeping my fingers crossed!
I dont know whether or not to buy a test today, i'm too scared of being disappointed!

I haven't got any symptoms so i'm starting to think it hasn't happened this month.

Do you think i should test or should i wait a bit longer?

Height to weight ratio?

I'm 5'9'' and if I weighed 43kg (about 6 stone 10) I'd be three stone underweight... but at 5'2'', a chart picked from the net at random suggests Chollita's weight is perhaps just a stone too low.

This chart http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/logout/news_features/idealweight_w.htm
suggests a little under 8 stone would be a good weight at 5'2''

But BMI is such a ridiculously outdated way of diagnosing over/underweight status, and has never worked properly for women anyway.

Well, sure, it's not exactly accurate, but it's not a million miles away.

If I told you I was 5'9'' and 7 stone, you'd think I was underweight, and rightly so.
