1. To get pregnant have sex three times a week. Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy.

This is very helpful information. Thank you for writing this article.
My husband and I have been trying for over 6 months to get pregnant. I used to be on birth control and stopped taking about 8 months ago, but still no baby.
So I am doing a lot of research myself and blogging about what I find and how I am feeling. So this information is very helpful to me.

To get pregnant faster learn to KNOW your body like nothing else around you and see and feel the HUGE difference that a true ovulation brings when it occurs....that's my simple advice.

Hi all,
I am new to the site. Just a little about me. I am a 37 y/o mother of three. I have a 17 y/o, a 15 y/o and an 11 y/o and we are trying for our fourth. My hubby had a vasectomy reversal in late June so we have been trying for 6 months. I am gong to the specialty clinic on the 23rd just to make sure all is well with me.
Glad to have a forum where there are others who are trying to conceive like myself.

These are some good tips! I highly recommend the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility which will teach you how to read your body's signs for ovulation so you can predict when you are going to ovulate. I have been using Fertility Awareness Method for over 4 years to prevent pregnancy and it has also helped me get pregnant twice!

I definitely agree do NOT go by a calendar. I have a shorter cycle than the average. Also charting/FAM method DO work!!

My DR also recommends taking a prenatal vitamin if you are NTNP or TTC.

I had my first child in the second month of trying, who is now 22 months. We have been trying for a year now for the second one and it is really frustrating because it was so easy the first time. I have been using the ovulation kits off and on. We just started going to a fertility doctor for testing so we don't know much yet. It is hard because I am used to working hard for something and getting it. But I feel I have no control in this matter. I was a only child and didn't want my child to a only child. But I guess God knows what he is doing and everything has a purpose. Each month gets harder and I feel I mourn for the loss of something I don't have yet.

taramurphy · #15 April 15th, 2010, 01:49 PM

So me and my husband want to have a baby. I was born with a growth defect, and at a young age the doctors said I maybe never be able to conceive. Is there ways to find if I am able to have kids?

anita.salcido · #16 April 20th, 2010, 07:47 PM

see me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant since december and we tried everything. we already have one and are ready for another. he's been incarcerated for 9 months and now that he's out it seems like its harder getting pregnant. what would be the best way or most effective way we may get a good chance of getting pregnant?

HELPFUL TIPS FOR GETTING PREGNANT- FROM EXPERIENCE:
Everyone trying to concieve- I feel your pain. In June 2010, we will have been married for 6 years and trying to concieve for 3 years. We were pregnant and lost the baby at 9 weeks on May 20, 2009; coming up on a year soon and that will be a hard day. So we have tried everything and I see a fertility specialist every month and have been on chlomid for 2 years (I cannot ovulate on my own). My husband saw a fertility specialist and found that he had a low sperm count due to vericose veins in his testicles, so he had surgery last year and things have improved. So it may not seem like I would know what I am talking about since I have been trying for so long, but I have been around the block a time or two, so maybe this will help someone.
-Get checked by a doctor- that was the way I found out that I couldn't ovulate by myself.
-Know your cycle- your first day of heavy flow is day 1 and most women ovulate between days 12 and 16.
-Have sex every other day, religiously!! Sperm can live up to 72 hours, but take over 2 months to mature, so don't have sex too often and not too infrequently. If a man doesn't ejaculate for 7 days, it can hurt his sperm count. If you have sex too often the sperm coming out are too immature to fertalize the egg. Every other day is the way to go!
-If you know you are ovulating, this trick is helpful. Get the product "instead". It will be by the tampons and maxi pads in the store, and is generally used "instead" of tampons or pads during your period. It is a small, rubber disk that is shaped like a shallow cup, which normally holds the blood in during your period, and doesn't let it leak out. You insert it vaginally, similar to a tampon. This product is helpful if trying to concieve because it can hold the sperm in and not let it out! My friend did this and got pregnant with TRIPLETS!!!! That may seem a little scarry but it works!
-After having sex, insert your "instead", prop your hips up on a pillow, and sleep that way. Let gravity go to work!
-Have sex in the missionary position (man on top) so gravity can do its job.
-If you are a vegetarian like I am (or just like eating soy foods, I guess) avoid soy products and tell your man to do the same. It has been shown to make conception difficult.
-And if you are religious like me: let God do his job. He will bring you the child you are supposed to have when you are supposed to have it. He may just not have found the perfect child that needs you yet! I know that is hard to hear, and especially for people that have wanted a baby for so long, like my husband and I, but sometimes God gives you your child in an unconventional way, which will turn out to be a huge blessing, even though it wasn't your plan. You know what they say... "Want to make God laugh? Tell him your plans." So true... I was supposed to have one baby when I was 25 and one when I was 27, one boy and one girl, the girl first of course... HA- boy was I put back in my place! He really showed me that He is soverign and I had nothing to say about it! All I can pray for is that God gives me the child that needs me when he feels I am ready for that child.
Good luck to you all- I hope you all get your little blessings very soon! -Anna

I so feel your pain. I have one son and I have been trying to concieve for 1 and 1/2 years. Everyone tells me that I already have a son so what is the problem. I pray everynight that god may bless me with a healthy child.

Dear Anna,
Thanks a ton for all your tips and most importantly for your inspiration. i am almost thirty and my husband and I have been trying to have a kid ever since we got married , which is six months now. We didnt want to wait because we heard that it gets harder to get pregnant when you are over 30 years. I was getting a bit depressed but thanks to this website and thanks to you Anna. I have hope now.

I am religious myself but sometimes God seems so far away and we tend to make our own plans. But as you said, God laughs at our plans. He will give a child in His time,not ours. Thanks Anna.

Also be encouraged Anna. I am sure you will have your little miracle soon.

To all others who have been trying to have a baby for a very long long time,

My friend had a baby yesterday after almost 15 long years. The doctors gave up and she had given up herself. But miracles do happen with a little help.

Thanks to all and I will share some baby news soon.

Im new to all this, I have been tring to get pregnant for nearly 4 years now, everytime I feel my period come along I feel that I have lost something that I only ever had in my mind. Im 25 now and always wanted 3 children before Im 30, Well thats that plan out of the window, I really understood eveything you said anna, Im not very religious, but I keep telling myself that it will happen when the time is right, I feel that time is now, but obviously someone doesnt. I hope that one day I will be able to write on here with my good news, but all I have is hope, and to be honest, thats the only thing that keeps me going.
