The answer depends upon why she isn't getting pregnant. Is it something related to her physical condition (like endometreosis or a hormonal imbalance), or is the cause related to your physical condition (low sperm count or sperm that are not properly motile)? If you haven't talked to a doctor about this, you won't know what is the most effective thing you can do to insure that she gets pregnant.
Here are a couple of suggestions, though. First, invest in a basal thermometer and have her take her temperature every morning. This should help to determine when she is ovulating and when your chances are highest for impregnating her. Second, wear boxer shorts rather than briefs. Briefs hold the testes closer to the body, and at the higher temperature, you may produce fewer viable sperm. Third, if you have sex very often, you may want to wait longer between times. If you should happen to have a low sperm count, this allows for the maximum build-up of sperm that you would deliver and gives you a better chance that one of them will get to the egg and get the job done.
You might also suggest that she take an over-the-counter product containing guafenesin, like Robitussin expectorant formula or Mucinex. I read a study that found, surprisingly, that some women who had been having difficulty getting pregnant were able to get pregnant after a cold in which they took Robitussin expectorant. Apparently, these women had abnormally thick cervical mucous that made it difficult for the sperm to swim through it to get to the ovum. The job of an expectorant is to thin mucous in the nose and respiratory tract, but it also thins mucous throughout the body. Apparently, for these women, it was enough to allow the sperm to break through it.
None of these suggestions is sure-fire, and you're best bet is to see a fertility specialist. However, these are worth a try. Good luck!

stop trying. the stress of worrying about it, and trying all the time may be the problem. i had a friend that was told she would never have kids, she had a year to try and have one before she needed surgery done, which would result in her never having kids. they tried for the longest time, and then faced reality that it wasn't going to happen, when she gave up trying she finally found out that she was pregnant. the doctors told her that the stress of her trying so hard was probably why she was unable to sooner than expected. maybe that would work if you guys just quit trying for a while. still have sex, but take the pressure of "we have to get pregnant" off and just enjoy it. also have sex while she has her period, I've heard that women crave mens sperm when they are having their period, maybe this will work also.
i wish you guys the best of luck!!!!

Have you gone to see the doctor?
This might sound strange, but don't try to hard. Have you ever heard of the saying that if you are looking for something lost you will never find unless you keep your mind off of it?
Sometimes getting pregnant is all in the mind. Trying too hard might make it a lot harder.
So really my advice is enjoy your time together. The child will come if you were meant to get one...
Other than that, good luck and hope that stork is on its way to your home in the near future...

dang man, sounds like you're doing well in the "trying" department, but not so well in the "git er preggy" dept.
Well, it sounds to me like a visit to the doctor is the first thing you ought to do.
You need to find out what the problem is. Is it your plumbing or hers? You have to localize the problem before you can fix it.
I think if you've been trying for that long, it's not oen of those things you can just figure out by yourself or use home remedies.
I know someone who is in the same situation and it turns out that she has a situation that requires medical attention, so it was a good thing they went to see the doc. They still can't have kids, but at least she gets to live now that they found and "patched" the problem with her ovaries.

Well u have 2 consider 3 things he may have low sperm count and/or u may have a tipped uterus and/or something wrong w/your Fallopian tubes so go get yourselves checked and then start seeing a fertility Dr. cause they give u the meds that can increase the mucus membranes that carry his DNA to the area it needs 2 go and after sex lay with your feet in the air. I tried that one and i had a son 8 mos later.

Easiest and least complicated thing to do is testing your sperm count. My gyno recommended getting an at-home sperm count test. You can get them at website called babyhopes.com. This was the first step we took in taking charge of our fertility issues and it did a world of good because it gave us a heads up on the problem (low sperm count) without my husband having to go through the embarrassment of nurses, doctors, and his um...."specimen" in a cup for all to see. Unfortunately, that came later.

You need to go to get a check up and blood work from your regular gyno first. Believe it or not thyroid levels can really mess with pregnancy. They will check your tsh, thyroid stimulating hormone levels. Also have your husband go to a urologist and he can check his sperm count. All of this needs to be done before going to a fertility doctor and could save you time and money!!!
