Answer 1

Folic acid is the vitamin which has been written about as an aid to getting pregnant. Use only whole organic foods as well. I hope you manage to conceive soon. Don't forget to pray as well to our Creator.

Answer 2

While trying to learn how to prevent pregnancy easily we learnt 'the Billing's method' which conversly helps you to become pregnant too. As a woman look out for a little discharge every month, for a couple of days. First it is cloudy white and then for a day or even a few hours the discharge turns clear and is stretchy - it looks like raw eggs white. Just stretch it on the toilet paper and then get hold of your husband. Humans are notoriously infertile, however the discharge is the sign of the vaginal mucus plug thinning out and becoming more hospitable to sperm - then when the discharge is clear (usually just a little amount) your egg has been released and it is the most accommodating to sperm. Interestingly as the sperm with the 'X' Chromosome swims slower but lives longer(female), then sex as the muscus plug begins to thin out would be more advantageous, if you want a girl. For a boy - the hight of fertility -(clear white, stretchy muscus)- the sperm carrying the 'Y' chromosone (boy) swims fast but dies quickly. Good luck and enjoy the whole expereince - being a mother is brilliant, frightening and hard.

Getting stressed is a sure fire way to reduce your chances of conceiving. Try the following:
1. Relax, go with the flow, make love because you want to, not because you want to get pregnant.
2. Take up sport, if you don't exercise already, try something gentle, but get the blood flowing, your heart pumping and make sure your weight is normal.
3. Hang around with pregnant women and small children, hormones given off by them will give your body signals.
4. make a note of your cycle and work out when you ovulate. Chemists do a pee on a stick test and computer which will work this out for you, it's meant as a contraceptive (avoid having sex on days when the light turns red, but it can work the other way too)
5. take folic acid tablets.
6. Make love at different times of the day

Finally, good luck,

Of course, what works for one may well not work for anyone else but when I was trying to get pregnant I went to have accupuncture. The man I saw also gave me some herbal remedy. It looked like old tree bark and mushrooms, I had to boil it up and drink some every day...the stench was unbelievable...it was RANK. Anyway, I was pregnant within 3 months. whether this was due to his intervention or not I cant say but it may be worth a try. I wish you well , I know how depressing it can be getting your peroid every month..God bless.

my friend had the same problem had all the tests everything was fine the doc said that she wanted to get pregnant so bad that it was stopping her she had a 8 year old son already, so she put fooling pregnant to the back of her mind and started to plan her wedding so she focused on that and 3 months later she was pregnant she even had to bring her wedding forward due to being due around her wedding, after she had george he was only 4 months old and fell again to sydney, so you might need to focuse on suthing else anything worth a try isnt it good luck xx

Answer 7

That does sound a long time to me normally after one year they suspect something may be wrong,if i were you id try and get see nby a diffrent doc for a second opinion.i have no idea about clomid but i do know of some tips that may be helpful:

Start taking folic acid now. You reduce your chances of giving birth to a baby with a neural tube defect (for example, anencephaly or spina bifida) by 50% to 70% if you start taking at least 0.4 mg of folic acid each day two to three months before you start trying to conceive.

Try to keep sex fun when you're trying to conceive. Use rooms other than the bedroom or schedule your babymaking rendezvous for an odd time of day. The rationale? You won't be able to keep up the babymaking pace for very long if sex starts feeling like a chore.

Don't hop up and run to the bathroom right after you make love. Lying down for at least a few minutes (some fertility experts say five minutes) after intercourse increases the odds that the sperm will be able to keep their date with the awaiting egg and that you'll win at baby roulette.

Make love often during your fertile period (the five days leading up to ovulation). If you've got the stamina to make love at least every 48 hours, you will ensure that there's a fresh shipment of sperm waiting in the fallopian tube at any given time. Of course, you can get too much of a good thing if your partner has a low sperm count, so if you're aware of a pre-existing fertility problem, you'll want to talk this issue over with your fertility specialist.
Keep in mind that babymaking is a numbers game. Even if you do everything "right," you still have only a 25% to 30% chance of conceiving in any given cycle.

Are you a coffee drinker? Time to give it up or switch to decaf! Caffeine is thought to restrict the growth of a developing baby by constricting blood vessels and reducing blood flow to the uterus. What's more, a few studies have indicated that excessive consumption of caffeine (that is, more than three cups of drip coffee per day) may contribute to fertility problems. The jury is still out on this last point, however.

Are you or your partner regularly exposed to hazardous substances in the workplace? You may need to consider a job change or job modification before you start your family. Certain substances can affect both the quality of sperm and the development of the embryo.

Have you had your preconception checkup yet? Set up an appointment with your doctor to review your medical history and to talk about your plans to start trying to conceive.
Are you currently taking any prescription or over-the-counter drugs? Be sure to ask your doctor if it's safe for you to continue taking them once you start trying to conceive.

If you aren't already doing so, start keeping a menstrual calendar. Note the date when your period starts, the number of days it lasts, and anything else your doctor might want to know about. This information could prove helpful if you experience problems in conceiving. It can also prove invaluable in pinpointing the date of conception -- and consequently your due date.

Try to book the last appointment of the day for your preconception checkup. That's when your doctor or midwife is most likely to be able to take the time to answer your questions and address your concerns without feeling rushed to go on to the next patient.

Make your vaginal environment as sperm-friendly as possible. Avoid vaginal sprays and scented tampons (which can cause a pH imbalance in your vagina); artificial lubricants, vegetable oils, and glycerin (because they can kill off sperm); saliva (because saliva can also kill sperm); and douching (because it alters the normal acidity of the vagina; can cause vaginal infections and/or pelvic inflammatory disease; and may wash away the cervical mucus that is needed to transport the sperm).

If you're monitoring your cervical mucus in an attempt to predict your most fertile days, do your checks before you shower, bathe, or swim. These activities can all affect the quantity and quality of your cervical mucus.
