Is anyone TTC(trying to conceive)?

Contributor: leelee leelee
Me and the hubby have been on and off for a little over a year with no luck. I'm using ovulation kits and taking my temperature. I've tried a LOT of the old wives tales and nothing is working. So I'm saving up to get the jaz wedge to see if that will help like some have said. Any other tips or how long have you been trying?

I don't know if this will actually help you conceive, but iVillage is pretty reputable for having good tips so you might want to check out this article:

Good luck. I recently went off my pill and hubby last night said "Whatever happens, happens." So, in a sense we are, since we aren't preventing it. We want another baby. I am so ready to have a girl (Hopefully, but if not it is all the same) since I have two boys already. I wish I had tips for you, but I don't. I am very fertile got pregnant all three times (one miscarriage) within 6 months time period. My last one was insanely fast (period May 25, Positive result June 4th.) Good luck to you!

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I do have 2 kids already the first one only took 6 months to try and my littlest one took one night and #3 is taking it's time so I know it's possible to get pregnant but I think after 2 c sections it's just making it harder.

We are no longer trying to conceive but my heart goes out to all the couples trying without success. I wish you all the best.

The only advice that I can give you is to make sure you are actually ovulating. Sometimes the OPKs can give you a false positive. If you want to PM me you can. I've been down this road for almost a year and a half straight.

I picked other. I have three beautiful daughters, not sure if we're going to try for another child or not, it won't happen any time soon either. Have you spoken with your doctor about this? I hope that you have much success! At least trying is enjoyable!

Other. Pregnant with our last.

when I was trying for our second the month I GREATLY increased my water intake is the month we conceived.

Also heard very good things about bee pollen and royal jelly. (if your not allergic). Ok, honestly I can attest to this. I started taking these in preps to try for our last. And they apparently counter acted my pill. (Shame on me for not researching) Whatever...

Yes I have talked to my doctor she has me taking my temp every morning for a month and I'm charting it down for her. next month I go back in to show her and do some test to make sure my scar tissue isn't being the problem.

I have five kiddos now, but had fertility problems for three years before getting my first. Have your sugar checked. I know it sounds crazy, but it may be affecting your ability to get pregnant.

Unfortunately I don't have any good tips to share, but I have heard of (and met) numerous couples who were trying for what seemed like forever, gave up and decided to go the adoption route, and as soon as the paperwork cleared found out they were expecting. I've always heard that stress can play a big part in it, and for these couples I guess that once that stress of trying was gone everything just sort of clicked.

Good luck, and I hope everything works out for you two!

Even though I really want kids and have since I hit my twenties - I'd like to wait until my boyfriend and I are ready for such things, I have finished getting my degree/boyfriend has done that too, can support ourselves, and have our own place. I do want to have kids between 24 to 28 though. I do wish you luck on getting pregnant!

We tried for 15 years and finally gave. Wish I could adopt, but we don't qualify. So it's over for us. I hope you have better luck!

We aren't trying, but we also aren't really NOT trying. I flip flop between how I feel about it, but our combined fertility is low enough that if we got "accidentally" pregnant we would keep it since who knows when it might happen again.

Struggling with the thought. On one hand I'd like to wait till around 32. I'm renovating & expanding my home, re-falling in love, on the road to both clearing out & making everything legitimate in my life for the sake of my future & ultimate happiness. On the other hand that lil voice in the back of my head is LOUDLY screaming "Do this NOW!!" O_o
