Depending on how old you are and how long you have been trying, it may be time to see a doctor. And by trying I mean charting when you ovulate, hubby stops wearing tight undies, you count days etc.-- not "I stopped using birth control)

If you are under 30 and having been trying for less than 12 months, start charting when you ovulate (there are lots of good websites to help you do this!) And begin trying to have sex right before you ovulate. You can also ask your doctor for help with this-- it takes some practice and you need to get to know your own body for it to work.

If you are over 30 or have been trying for longer than 12 months, it's time to see your doctor. And that means both of you--- fertility issues can be either male or female.

Best of luck!

First, I understand the frustration. Most doctors say you should not even start to worry about it until you have tried for 12 months. If you want to getter your chances, but a fertility monitor. They are amazing and will tell you the perfect time for the woman to get pregnant. After having intercourse, prop a couple of pillows under your hips and keep your pelvis raised for about 15-20 minutes. Good luck! I know it can be frustrating.

Check your cycle to see when you are most fertile and have intercourse around these days. Have a checkup to see if both are okay. Read up on how your partner can boost his sperm so that it is healthy.

Diet (Nutrition) and no smoking are starters. Get professional advice from your doctor.

Good luck

afraid not - but i do know that friends with similar experiences often get pregnant when they "stop trying" - take a vacation or have sex just for fun...find ways to relax and be happy...sounds so simple, but so impossible, i'm sure...otherwise fertility drugs might be helpful...best of luck!!!

If you have a normal 28 day cycle (from the first day of your period until the first day of your next period) ovulation occurs on cycle day #14. YOu can only become pregnant if you have unprotected sex on cycle day #13, 14, 15, or 16 each month. If you hafe been trying to conceive on those days for a full year, you should have an infertility workup done by your doctor. Green tea, staying ini bed for 30 minutes after intercourse, or avoiding caffeine will not have any effect on your attempts to conceive. If you are ovulating, you should be able to conceive. Charting Your Fertility Pattern
Knowing when you're most fertile will help you plan or prevent pregnancy. There are three ways you can keep track of your fertile times. They are:

Basal body temperature method - Basal body temperature is your temperature at rest as soon as you awake in the morning. A woman's basal body temperature rises slightly with ovulation. So by recording this temperature daily for several months you'll be able to predict your most fertile days.

Basal body temperature differs slightly from woman to woman. Anywhere from 96 to 98 degrees orally is average before ovulation. After ovulation most women have an oral temperature between 97 and 99 degrees. The rise in temperature can be a sudden jump or a gradual climb over a few days.

Usually a woman's basal body temperature rises by only 0.4 to 0.8 degrees Fahrenheit. To detect this tiny change, women must use a basal body thermometer. These thermometers are very sensitive. Most pharmacies sell them for around $10. You then record your temperature on a special chart.

The rise in temperature doesn't show exactly when the egg is released. But almost all women have ovulated within three days after their temperatures spike. Body temperature stays at the higher level until your period starts.

You are most fertile and most likely to get pregnant:

two to three days before your temperature hits the highest point (ovulation), and
12 to 24 hours after ovulation.


A man's sperm can live for up to three days in a woman's body. The sperm can fertilize an egg at any point during that time. So if you have unprotected sex a few days before ovulation there is a chance of becoming pregnant.

Many things can affect basal body temperature. To get the most useful chart you should take your temperature every morning at about the same time. Things that can alter your temperature include:

drinking alcohol the night before
smoking cigarettes the night before
getting a poor night's sleep
having a fever
doing anything in the morning before you take your temperature -- including going to the bathroom and talking on the phone


Calendar method - This involves keeping a written record of each menstrual cycle on a calendar. The first day of your period is Day 1. Circle Day 1 on the calendar. Do this for eight to 12 months so you know how many days are in your cycle. The length of your cycle may vary from month to month. So write down the total number of days it lasts each time. To find out the first day when you are most fertile, check your list for the cycle with the fewest days. Then subtract 18 from that number. Take this new number and count ahead that many days on the calendar. Draw an X through this date. The X marks the first day you're likely to be fertile. To find out the last day when you are fertile, subtract 11 days from your longest cycle and draw an X through this date. This method always should be used with other fertility awareness methods, especially if your cycles are not always the same lengths.


Cervical mucus method (also known as the ovulation method) - This involves being aware of the changes in your cervical mucus throughout the month. The hormones that control the menstrual cycle also change the kind and amount of mucus you have before and during ovulation. Right after your period, there are usually few days when there is no mucus present or "dry days." As the egg starts to mature, mucus increases in the vagina, appears at the vaginal opening, and is white or yellow and cloudy and sticky. The greatest amount of mucus appears just before ovulation. During these "wet days" it becomes clear and slippery, like raw egg whites. Sometimes it can be stretched apart. This is when you are most fertile. About four days after the wet days begin the mucus changes again. There will be much less and it becomes sticky and cloudy. You might have a few more dry days before your period returns. Describe changes in your mucus on a calendar. Label the days, "Sticky," "Dry," or "Wet." You are most fertile at the first sign of wetness after your period or a day or two before wetness begins. This method is less reliable for some women. Women who are breastfeeding, taking hormonal contraceptives (like the pill) using feminine hygiene products, have vaginitis or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), or have had surgery on the cervix should not rely on this method.
