I'm 29 yrs old this yr & my hubby is 34yrs old...We've been married coming to 4mths now. My hubby is working night shift (12hrs).. Usually he's always tired & will sleep the whole day on his off day...Even though my working hours are flexible as m doing insurance, sometimes our schedules clashes with each other. It doesn't help that we are also in the midst of shifting house & going through a major setback in our life rite now. However, we truly want to try for a baby. A friend recommended to eat folic acid for 2 mths. Though m not too sure how effective this is..

folic acids help to prevent birth defects and promote proper baby growth... I reccommend a good over the counter prenatal vitamin now if you are planning to get pregnant as it is even more important before you concieve than it is durring pregnancy (which is still important)
Stress as you may well know can affect your period/cycle and if your period/cycle is affected so is your ovulation. One thought would be to maybe not try so hard to concieve but not prevent it either and get some of the life stressors (house and such) in order before you begin getting super serious. You don't want to be overly stressed and pregnant either.
Good Luck to you!

The only sure way to concieve is to relax and be intimate with each other. If you (or he) start obsessing about getting pregnant, there is a very good chance that the stress alone will prevent just that thing from happening. If you want some pointers, here are some: go off all forms of birth control, have your hubby wear boxers (keeps the testes away from the heat of the body), stay on your back for about 20 minutes afterwards (preferably with your pelvis slightly elevated), and just relax and concieve in love.

Sounds like you have a lot of things going on thats pretty stressfull. You need to try and forget about conceiving right now and focus on getting things straighten out in your life.
Still have lots of love making and you'll get pregnant in due time.
I tried for 11 months to get pregnant. And still no baby. So I just gave up and figured I wasn't ever going to get pregnant.
The next month I was'nt thinking about getting pregnant and still making love. Well it happened that month. I got pregnant. So by me not focussing so much on it helped me a lot. I was so happy.
So try to think of getting other things done in your life right now and let nature takes its course. Then you'll get your little miracle baby.
Good luck and Congrats early.

Just relax and don't use protection. It will happen for you when the time is right. Folic acid is great for women who are "trying" and of course when they are pregnant already. It is necessary for baby's brain developement! I dont know if it helps with conceiving though. Good luck! :O)
