I have been off the pill for two years and have sex on the days i ovulate and nothing any suggestions????

Answer 1

Yes, if you are both healthy try having sex every other day close to when you will ovulate. This was recommend by my doctor and it worked. Make sure you are not taking any meds that could possibly interfere with conception also try the doggy style position and reverse cowgirl these positions are said to have a "deeper penetration".

Answer 2

I use this method *not* to get pregnant, but it works to get pregnant too! I use the Fertility Awareness Method as laid out in the book, Taking Charge of Your Fertility, by Toni Weschler. She mentions a lot of different factors about what can help you get pregnant, and she has you chart your temps like the other women suggested. She also has you notice things like your cervical fluid consistency and she has you feel your cervix (which, believe it or not, is pretty cool!). By the time you ovulate oftentimes, it's too late to get pregnant 'cause the egg is only around for 24 hours max. Also, if you just chart your temperatures, you'll possibly miss your ovulation because the big temp change occurs *after* you ovulate, so it's not that great of a predictor.

The other great thing about this book and method is that you can do a LOT of self-diagnosing. You can figure out if you are ovulating and having actual periods (vs break-through bleeding), you can tell if you are producing fertile cervical fluid ... You can essentially help your doctor a lot diagnosing any fertility problems you may have (if you have a doctor who will listen to you). Anywho, I guarantee it will be the best money you ever spent and it's only like 16 bucks at Amazon. The 10th edition is fabulous and includes temp etc charts!

Good luck!!

How are you tracking ovulation? W/ a fertility monitor, or OPKs, or by charting your fertility signs?

Ovulation is not the only factor in conception or carrying a pregnancy. Many other factors come into play. For example, do you know if you have adequate fertile cervical fluid, enough progesterone, or a long enough luteal phase. Any of these can delay conception or cause great difficulty carrying a pregnancy. They can usually be treated at home too.

I highly recommend charting your fertility signs. Your chart can tell you when you are fertile, when you are not, when you are ovulating, when to expect your next period, and when to suspect pregnancy. Your chart can also tell you if there are issues delaying conception or causing difficulty w/ carrying a pregnancy and if there are serious issues which need a doc's attention.

Some good sources for charting your fertility signs: Fertilityfriend.com (free software as well as a pay-for version and on-line charting turorial); ovusoft.com (discussion boards for many fertility related issues, much info on fertility after the pill, and a very good software for purchase). The books Taking Charge of Your Fertility (associated w/ the the ovusoft website and software), The Art of Natural Family Planning, and Garden of Fertility

I know everyone is different, but I think it's too much to alwayse use OPKs, check temperature, watch mucus, etc. I wanted to make TTC fun, not an experiment. Besides, OPKs sometimes don't indicate that you're ovulating until 12-24 hours after you've already started.

My husband and I started having sex every other day. Doing this makes it a lot more likely that there will be sperm "around" when you finally ovulate. I am one of the lucky ones, I got pregnant the second month after we started doing this.

Answer 5

Toss out the batteries and use a real guy. Just kidding. I went through the same thing with my wife. Our kids are all 5 years apart. If she worked like she should have, the plumbing, by all rights we should have had 10 or 12 kids. We went to a fertility specialist and on the first meeting after the initial blood test and work up we sat down to a congratulations. The doctor said he would like to have taken credit for helping but she was already pregnant with our first of 4 kids. Go figure. Maybe stop trying so hard.

Answer 6

I suppose some are luckier than others in that respect. I mean, I was on the pill for 5 years and went off it for a month before going back on it again. I discovered that I fell pregnant during that month off the drug. All in all, keep trying. Doctord say that your most likely to fall pregnant 14 days from the start of your menstural period. Good luck to both you and your partner!

Answer 7

Are you using an ovulation predictor kit? If so and you've tried this for a few months, perhaps you need to have your partner to see a fertility specialist. He may need to have his sperm count tested. Have you consulted with you ob/gyn on this? I would see them in a month or two if you don't get any results. Good luck to you. This must be frustrating for the both of you!

Answer 8

Go see your Dr. You or your partner may have some fertility issues. It maybe something that can be fixed with meds or you may require procedures like IVF. Either way your doctor can run lab tests and provide additional info.

Answer 9

You and your partner should have fertility tests done. I believe there are also hormones a woman can take to increase her chances of getting pregnant. Talk to you ob/gyn about it and see what they suggest.

Answer 10
