tyring for a baby?

hiya. don't despair. my missus and me went for 6 months before conceiving. the trick as far as we were concerned was s/c/r/e/w/i/n/g every day for the 3 (?) week possible fertile time between periods. I never thought I'd say it but it became a chore ! It seemed to work tho. We've got 3 now - u can have one if u like ;-) It's terribly unromantic but towards the end of the 3 week period, a smutty film often helps.

Derryman you could try zinc & vitamin E supplements and as well as the timing aspect all ready decribed. Raise your wifes backside (missionary position) by placing a few pillows under bum and then stay in position for as long as you can after ejeculating. Have fun and enjoy ! and try not to get to obsessed.

'the condom off'..?

May seem obvious, but are you using a thermometer to work out your most fertile phase? If not get the digi thermometer kit from Boots for �12, interesting even it there is no result. Don't eat honey! apparently honey is nature's contreceptive.

Honey, vitamin E, thermometers, zinc & pillows - what a load of nonsense. kahunabean is right, just try as often as possble, relax and enjoy yourselves. Good luck!

Stop trying - go on a romantic holiday, get drunk and have lots of lovely sex. Worked for me!

try charting. i use the fertility awareness method for avoiding pregnancy. http://www.fertilityuk.org/ good luck!

forgot to say you can use FAM of NFP (natural family planning) for getting pregnant too! basically by observing certain indicators (cervical mucous/position, temperature) and recording them you learn when you are fertile.

Hello derryman, me and hubby were at it morning, noon and night - even before we were trying! Joking apart, it turned out that after a year of trying and no bun in the oven we went to docs. After a few tests: blood for me and a pleasant bit of time alone for hubby, it transpired that I don't produce eggs. So, after a few months on fertility drugs we had our first baby. Again after more f.drugs our second baby. They have just turned 1 & 4 and we are totally in love with them both. Perhaps if you go along to your doctor and have a chat you will know the best way forward. I wish you both the very best of luck - enjoy trying!!!

There are different circumstances why it may not be working for example stress can sometimes have a impact, on the body, it may be an good idea to cut the 'good old alcohol', from the system and change into a 'Healthier lifestyle' often smoking has a impact on the repoductive system , I believe seeing the good doctor may have a few trick up his/her sleeve.
