we're trying to get pregnant too! I've read lots of stuff - but then we haven't been trying for very long (only 1 month) and the best thing that I've read is to start taking prenatal vitamins that have lots of folic acid. Also to make sure you and your hubby are eating healthy - getting lots of fiber in your diet - fresh fruits and veggies and all that good stuff. There was other stuff but I can't remember right now and it's getting late. They also said to lie down with your feet propped up for 20 minutes after sex.
Actually, the Yahoo answer dude is right - having sex every day has been found to be more detrimental than having sex every other day. A good knowledgable friend told me that there is scientiffic reasons for this. Sperm lives for 48 hours so every other day is a good time to replenish. When you go every day (or more than once a day) the sperm count is less than if you go every other day. And it gets less the moer often you have sex. So to get the maximum amount of sperm - have sex every other day.

I gave up all caffinated products and definately no cigarettes or alcohol all of these can drastically effect ability to conceive. I also started myself on a 0.5 mg of folic acid daily which I believe helped my fertility to last longer. I had sex neally everynight and made sure that my body had an orgasm after or whilst sperm was released. THis creates a natural suction (I think). Now am 34 weeks pregnant. Yes having sex too much can also lower sperm count. My husband had strict instructions to not allow any sperm out of his penis whilst I had a period, this gave him at least 4 days for his sperm count to replenish. KNowing when you ovulate is the best way so that you dont have sex too much in times where no egg is there. the egg only lives about 24 hours but sperm can live up to 5 days. So its knowing your body clock and having sex every night just before you start to ovulate so that there is plenty of sperm there before hand and keep having it until your ovulation is complete then let his poor ball sack rest!! hehe

We bought the Clearblue Ovulation Predictor.. such an AMAZING little thing really, it got me a positive pregnancy test the first cycle I used it the first time, then within 2 cycles the second time. It was our "last resort" considering we'd been trying for over 7 months and we had an appointment with a specialist the week after I got my first positive using it, so it was definitely worth the cost.

Believe it or not having sex to often can lower sperm count for the times when you need it the most...work with your Dr to get your ovulation schedule then limit sex the week before to ensure a better count...You will need and ovulation testing kit to help keep track.

Us fellas are like water ballons under a faucet. We have to fill up. Lay off the sex for a few days to allow him to refill. I know about the egg thingy and timing, so hows about a few days before trying to catch that egg, you two abstain from sex until the special day.

Have sex, that always works (lol, just kidding) Someone once told me that having sex in water helps the little sperms reach their goal better.

Try abstaining until you can no longer stand it, then send the kid to a babysitter and just go at it like wild monkeys. Maybe the extra passion boost will help. ;) :)

Ive read that the best time to do it is right before your period because that is when your ovulating and you will be more likely to get pregnant. also i heard that eating spinach may help. but thats just something i heard. but hey? it wouldnt hurt right? spinach is good for you!

Stop Trying. Just let it happen. You are putting so much pressure on yourselves to conceive, that when you don't you are dissappointed and stressed which does not help your motility. Get drunk, watch porn and stop trying so hard it will happen. Just enjoy the lovemaking and the baby will follow.
