specifically but I was hoping that someone may be able to give us some pointers. In terms of "time off" this is the best time for us to conceive and plan for the start of our family. We have not tried before (but have not takes precautions either) My cycle used to be every 28 days but has recently changed to 28-35 days so perdicting ovulation has been slightly difficult. The kits dont seem to work for me...and I am starting to feel like if we cant start how are we going to have out dream of becoming parents?! please help!! Any and ALL advice is welcomed...any ideas on guaranteeing a boy or a girl...throw those in too!!! : )

just do it ever single day and you will get pregnat... .. joking yet its true.
I am the same way and i also have this specific window for time where it would be "ideal" to concieve so that when the baby arrives it would be the right time of the year and so on (like we would both be done with graduate shcool, etc)
But, i realize more and more that stuff just DOES NOT HAPPEN.
it takes the average couple up to 1 year to concieve a child. Even your ovulating and have sex and the sperm is there, its still not a gurantee of prenancy. So even though you can increase your chances, you can not just rely on having your child in this window for time.
Just go with the flow and relax, the more you plan the more you freak yourself out about it and the more you stress and the harder it becomes, your body is senstive and complex and baby making isnt as simple as people think, the planets must really align to make it all happen.

Try www.fertilityfriend.com. If the OPKs aren't working for you, it may just be because you are ovulating at a different time than you think. Also read the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. The whole fertility monitoring thing is a fair amount of hassle, but it actually does work quite well for optimizing your chances of success.
You should make an appointment with your doctor and make sure you are in good health and that there's no lurking crud that would make pregnancy a bad idea. Tell them that you are wanting to conceive: they will very likely have suggestions on prenatal vitamins and nutrition. The few months prepregnancy are just as important as the first trimester in terms of folic acid levels, so you should get on that. Also tell the doc how long you two have been having unprotected sex. Even if you haven't been officially "trying"... if it's been more than a year or so you two may have some subfertility issues.
There's really no way to guarantee a boy or girl apart from IVF with PGD. There's a lot of urban myths on the topic, though, sorry:)

To most humans 3 children is are lots to control. But that is most often since they should not have the posh of having all these different humans do the whole thing for you. In all honesty you are no longer getting the 'actual' expertise of motherhood. It can be a entire lot more than just popping them out after nine months and putting out in the nursery at some point per week. You have to determine why you continue to consider like you're missing out. You have the whole lot that any one would ever ask for, so why are not you pleased? If the children you already have don't seem to be satisfying you, what makes you consider 7 more will? I feel fostering is a best suggestion, but what's flawed with adoption as an alternative? Why do you only have the desire to head to this point? Is it so that you can hand the baby again to the neighborhood authorities when you become bored? If that is so, then I feel you are doing it for thoroughly the fallacious causes. Youngsters should be for life recollect, no longer just for Christmas. :-)

it sounds as though you may be having a problem with ovulating. If you are not ovulating you won't be able to get pregnant. I recommend booking an appointment with your gp maybe they'll find out why you arent ovulating and maybe prescribe you clomid. good luck xxx
