is there anything that you can do---aside from making sure the timing is right to have sex and taking fertility drugs---to help ensure you get pregnant?

Amanda, to get pregnant you must have sex on a day that your eggs are being released. I think that is the timing that you have referred to.
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 3 days before sex to enable them to mature well to do their job.

If youo read some of the posts on here, it would seem that having sex with strangers greatly increase the chances of getting pregnant.

Take prenatal vitimans and folic acid! These will not help you conceive but will be beneficial for you when you do. I dont really think there is anything you can really do. Sometimes you just have to be patient.

I don't know if it's true, but I have heard that eating yams or sweet potatoes increase your fertility. I think it's the beta carotene in them, so carrots might help too.

Nope, everything else is up to mother nature. Dont believe ppl when they say you can get in a certain position, take some pills, drink this or that. NONE of that works. Its you, your partner, and mother nature!
