Ive been ttc for a while, but to no avail. Are there any tips that anyone knows of, old wives tales, anything? Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

I know that everyone will be telling you to relax...i also know how frustrating that is. If you are like me letting it all go and trying not to think about it is not possible. Even when I try not to think about it I end up thinking about trying not to think about it. The only thing I can suggest to you is Pre~Seed. It is supposed to be working wonders and people with only a 5% chance of natural conception are getting pregnant on it. I tried it this month and love it...I dont know my results yet but we did enjoy it. Good Luck!!

It took us 19 months to conceive baby #3, my husband and I are both in our early 30's and used ovulation tests, and even used fertility drugs for 2 months with no success. We had tests done to make sure there were no cysts or anything like that, all of the "equipment" was fine for both of us.
We even bought Pre-Seed and used it for 6 months with no luck. After some research, we found out that Olive Oil is close to the pH of sperm, and a woman's orgasm can help the sperm move through the cervix better. Using OPK we realized that I ovulate late, so I'd say get some OPKs from www.early-pregnancy-tests.com and read their tips (such as don't use first urine of the morning), they have great prices and I got pregnant using the tests from them.
We always had sex every other day around the time I ovulated, but in January decided maybe we should try EVERY day, we used OPKs each afternoon and Olive Oil for lube and he made sure I had an orgasm, too. We are now 8.5 weeks pregnant with baby #3!
Good luck, and best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy!!

Have you tried tracking your cycles and temps? This can prove to be very helpful in determing what time of the month you are most fertile. There is also an excellent book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility that gives you all of the information that you need in great detail. I found it at Barnes and Noble but I have also seen it on Half.com. I have also been using Pre-seed as a lubricant. Good luck I know trying for a baby is often times disappointing and maddening!

I posted this last night about my experience:
So I have had crazy periods for the past 4 months. they were not there or they showed up weeks after they should have. my doc put me on progesterone. I started doing research to find out what could help regulate my cycles naturally. i heard ovulex and fertailaid, but people were complaining left and right that it was a rip off and at $50 that was crazy. there was a suggestion to use vitex(chasteberry tree) and so i took it every day for the rest of my cycle. and i ovulated on day 16 i was so happy. had sex, didn't really expect anything, because it ususally takes about 3 mnts to get it right. low and behold my boobs were crazy sore and i couldn't sleep at all. I said screw it and took the test and there was a plus sign. Any of you with irregular period try it. it is $10 dollars and good for a long time. it can regulate your cycle, which is the first step to the patter of little feet. good luck to all of you...

old wives tales.. I have heard that if doesn't have sex or master-bate until you ovulate. He drinks srong coffee at least an hour before... you take a baking soda douce (or however you pronouce those). You take a relaxing bath. Lay on your back and him on top and stay in you after he cu-ms... That is what I heard as far as old wives tales. Oh and I also heard stand on your head after... Things I have heard over the years.

Just relax, the more relaxed you are the easier it should be to become pregnant.
Good luck!
