I have been trying to concieve for 17 months now, is there anything that anyone can suggest to help with this?

Answer 1

It's difficult to say exactly how long it will take any one individual or couple to get pregnant. Factors such as your age, general and reproductive health, and when you have intercourse all impact your chances of conceiving a child

However, these general statistics may give you an idea of how long it will take. Normally fertile couples have a 25 percent chance of getting pregnant each cycle, and a cumulative pregnancy rate of 75 to 85 percent over the course of one year. Still, some healthy couples can take even longer to get pregnant

And you can try to increase your likelihood of getting pregnant sooner by learning to pinpoint exactly when you ovulate, and by familiarizing yourself with the cyclic hormonal and physical changes that take place in your body each month.

I have included some links for you so you can do some reading and research on your body. OVULATION IS THE KEY TO GETTING PREGNANT! Remember that. These are the steps you need to take...
1.) Make an appt. with an OBGYN. He or She needs to give you a complete exam and make sure you are having regular periods, that your tubes are unblocked, and that you donot have anything else that may cause you to not get Pregnant ie...sexually transmitted diseases, PCOS, ect...
2.) You need to make sure that you are ovulating. Belive it or not, some women, do not ovulate. And as I said, Ovulation is the KEY to getting pregnant. To do this, you should buy a Basal Themometor (you can buy at almost any store where they sell regular themometors.) and start taking your temps EVERY MORNING BEFORE you get out of bed. to read more about this, check out this website for what they have to say about it.. http://www.mamasark.com/bbt.htm.........
3.) you also need to learn to check your Cervix Position AND your Cervial Mucus everyday. To learn more about this check out these websites... http://www.webwomb.com/check_cervical_po...
and

4.) Once you have got this all down you need a place to chart them all so that you can keep track of what your body is doing and when you ovulate. www.fertilityfriend.com is the best place to do this. It is a free site and it allows you to chart your temperature, your cervial mucus and position and helps detrmine when you ovulate.

*********OF COURSE YOU CAN ALWAYS JUST DO IT THE OLD FASHIONED WAY AND HAVE ALOT OF SEX AND HOPE FOR THE BEST! LOL But for your best chances, these are the steps you need to take!!*************

~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~PLEASE REMEMBER!!!! Even a 100% healthy couple only has a 40% chance of conciving each month, so dont get discouraged if it doesnt happen right away, even if you do all the things above. Just have fun with it, and do not make sex a chore or a job, just relax and enjoy eachother, and when the time is right, you will get Pregnant!
Good luck to you and TONS OF BABY DUST YOUR WAY!!!!! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~...

Answer 2

I personally would recommend asking your OB/GYN for a recommendation to a fertility specialist.

In the meantime, relax. The more stressed out you get, the harder it will be to conceive. Take your temperature every morning. When it ups 1/2 - 1 degree, that's a sign of ovulation. Ovulation predictors help too.

I am pregnant with my 6th & 7th children - what worked for me was either a few shots of tequila, or a few green beers.

But I wish you the best of luck in your parenting quest. Children are the most blessed thing on this earth.

Answer 3

This is what I did, I bought the Fertile Focus Microscope to predict ovulation, I bought the pre-seed lubricant that does not kill sperm like other lubricants and saliva do, I laid down with my legs up for up to 20 minutes after sex and we had intercourse every other day. I got pregnant within a month and a half of trying.

Answer 4

To get pregnant you must have sex on a day that your eggs are being released.

After the 3rd day from the day that menses started put a thermometer into your mouth and check your body temperature every morning before you start turning in bed. The best time is at about 4 a.m. Maintain a chart. You will find that on one day the body temperature drops from 1/2 degree to one degree. This is the day that your eggs are being released. If you want to get pregnant this is the day that you must have sex. Tell your husband to ejaculate on his inward thrust so that the sperms will shoot deep inside.

After having sex you must stay in bed for about 30 mins with your knees bent up with a pillow under your buttocks so that the sperms will not pour out - to enable them to travel up.

Get your husband to save his sperms in the testacles for at least 5 days before sex to enable them to mature well to do their job.

Answer 5

Have you been charting your fertility and checking your basal temperature every morning? Let me know - I'll check back to see if you re-posted. I found "Taking Charge of Your Fertility", by Toni Weschler, MPH, to be very informative and helpful. It's worth the money.

Answer 6

there is a great web site that i just found that has 3 different ways to see if you are ovulating. i think the web site was made for people who don't want to get pregnant but it is still helpful because it shows you how to track your menstrual cycle to see when you are most likely to get pregnant.

Answer 7

Have sex when you are on your period. That's the easiest way to get pregnant next to fertility drugs. Stay away from sacarin.

Answer 8
