tips for getting pregnant

[burnouts]

me and my fiancee have been trying for a baby for 4 months and yet have not fallen pregnant has any1 got any tips on food excercise positions etc to help us to bring a little person into the world!?!

main tip:

relax and just let it happen. Stressing about it will certainly delay things.

Eat healthily, dont smoke, dont drink are3 fairly standard though many fall without this.

4 months is hardly time to start worrying but if you are serious then look at when you are ovulating and target 2 or 3 days either side of this time

how do i know when i am ovulating i have a regular 28day cycle though i have been known to sometimes go up to 5 n half wks

[redcrx]

its all something to do with temperatures but ive never worked mine out so couldnt tell you Im afraid.

Heres a board that can though. If you ask on there then im sure someone will help you. http://messageboards.ivillage.co.uk/iv-ukpbget preg the ivillage messageboards can be a great support. Once you do get pregnant then you join a mums due board and then a mums club board if you want

of course there will be many on here who can too :)

oh one thing i do know is that generally you will get a thick mucus discharge around the time when you are most fertile which on a 28 day cycle would usually be around day 14 from the date your last period started.

Sperm count has a lot to do with becoming pregnant. Not becoming pregnant can also be a fault of the guy. Have you guy take a sperm count test.

make the most of it, 2nd babies are harder to conceive, mainly because children are a great drug free contraceptive :)

good luck, try the boards for advice. i joine in oct 04 as a mum due June 05 and am now on a mums due April 08 board too. We've had meet ups, secret santas, one mum even came from new zealand for a meet, its a great social network.

[burnouts]

no but the has two children already ones only 2.could there be a problem since then?

[redcrx]

figures is right, but your GP wouldnt even test for problems until youd been trying for a year at least. 4 months isnt a long time at all, especially if you were on the pill or any hormone contraceptive before

i hope i can have a baby though im affraid he might leave me if i cant fulffil his wishes to have a kid and i want one so bad too!

[redcrx]

what man whos worth your love would leave if you cant have children?

dont be so concerned about things like that, what was it i said about stress?????

Hi, I always found that just before ejaculation if you lay on your back and lift your feet as high as you can above your head so you are lettting the sperm flow into you deeply!! It certainly did the trick for me although it isn't very romantic! Also I bought an ovulation kit from Boots

[snow.maiden]

Stop, or cut down if you smoke and/or drink, take folic acid, keep yourself healthy, try to relax, buy an ovulation kit from Boots - and then keep trying - x

[burnouts]

i dont drink, smoke etc and i have a healthy diet am normally regular and was due on this mornin( always come on it the mornin) and havent come on some fingers crossed!!!

[snow.maiden]

Totally forget about it, enjoy it then wait and see. Easier said than done but I bet you the day you do, you will! All the Best x

[redcrx]

fingers crossed for you!

I worked out that what got me pregnant was having sex at 3am, god knows why! perhaps its because you dont then rush to get up and go for a wee or anything, just go to sleep and everything gets on with its job.

Don't pee for a while after, pop some pillows under your pelvis to help them swim the right way up. Most importantly relax.

[burnouts]

still no sign hehe!!!

have you taken a test? first response can be good as they pick up lower levels of HCG (pregnancy hormone)
