1-Keeping your pelvis elevated will help more sperm stay in the vagina.
2-Smoking does not decrease your chances of getting pregnant, just the condition of your eggs. I smoked 1 pack a day when I got pregnant w/ my first; I smoked 2 packs a day when I got pregnant w/ my second (22 weeks along). I did quit after I found out pregnant though.
3-Folic acid is good for you and decreases the chances of your baby having a neural tube defect like Spina Bifida. If you begin taking pre-natals before you get pregnant it is better. That's what I did w/ #2 and he/she has a very healthy looking spine.

The pillow under the butt thing couldn't hurt, I am sure it helps though. As for the folic acid pills there is no harm in taking those. Why don't you try going to your local walmart and looking for a product called Instead cups. They are actually an alternative method for women while on their period but they are trying to get the FDA to regulate them as a form of help while trying to conceive. They can be worn for 12 hours at a time and they help to keep fluids closer to your cervix ( while trying to conceive that is ) They are pretty cheap about 6 or 7 bucks for a box of 14. All you do is after you have sex insert one of them into you and wear it for the full 12 hours, that way you can go about your daily routine or whatever you do at night and the sperm is still very close to your cervix. They are a pretty good product. Best of luck to you and I hope you get your BFP soon. Take care and have a wonderful day.

Everyone has told me to do the pillow thing but it hasn't worked for me. Smoking decreases chances, Folic acid help with releasing of the egg so yes.

Well smoking anytime would make it harder for you to conceive! I suggest that you quit smoking until you conceive and your baby is born! and yes the pillow helps a bit. I've been trying to conceive also! right now im like 4 weeks late for my period and i dont know if i am cuz two tests came out negative but Im trying still! Good luck and I wish you the best!

You put it under your butt (not your back) and you keep your legs elevated. I have heard it can help and it cannot hurt.
Smoking is not good for anything and if you want to get pregnant you should quit prior to getting pregnant. Folic acid is good for everyone to take but especially important during pregnancy.

Pillow, yes. Quit smoking now. Take prenatals when you are trying to get pregnant - they contain folic acid.

When I was trying to conceive I didn't elevate my feet or anything but I did stay in bed for 15-30 minutes afterwards to increase my chances. I took a multi-vitamin everyday and that was it before I was pregnant but I don't think that had anything to do with actually conceiving and making my chances any better.

the pillow thing is just an old wives tale it wont help. if ur trying to concive u shouldnt be smoking but that wont lessen your chances. and folic acid wont make you more fertil but its very important to take when you are prgnant

you're fantastic. My husband is a much better guy too. i'm 38 weeks and we had sex with me less than. of direction you do not go with to push too complicated as you mustn't be able to breath although the newborn is quite threat-free through the water.
