I never had a baby but I heard Dr. Dean Edell tell how some infertile couples finally had one. I can't tell about it on here so go to his site and do a search. LOL

Also, tell your hubby to wear boxers. Got to let them boys breath. LOL :p

My Mom and I had the same problem conceiving - being too "clean". My Mom's doctor told her to tuck a pillow under her buttocks and lay with her legs vertical against the wall after all "the fun" was over. hehehe, well, I'm here aren't I? Worked for me, I got three kids now!

I've also heard this as well as the 'boxers' bit.

My advice would be to work real hard at it during ovulation. And, VERY IMPORTANTLY, do not stress about it. People who are highly stressed out have a lesser chance of conceiving! So, with that said...



HAVE FUN! :)

Take plain Robitussin by mouth AM and PM ....it thins secretions in your throat...and elsewhere so that the sperm can swim easier.

Like above, after you are finished w/ the fun, laydown for 30 minutes w/ a pillow under your hips. It's supposed to help if you have a tipped uterus.

Take folic acid too.

Hugs & have fun.

If hubby use a laptop computer tell him to use it on a table not on his lap, our local news, just did a story this week on infertility and having a laptop on a man's lap increases scrotal temps as high 36 degrees which can cause infertility...Good Luck!

Don't try and just enjoy yourselves... it'll happen when you least expect it :)

We tried for a year with our 9 y/o. With our 7 y/o.... we went to the drive in, wasn't careful and ... SURPRISE! LOL

There are some things that people swear by and then there are other things that they will tell you not to do..... all I can say is, it will happen when you least expect it.

I agree about the cough syrup. I had a cold every time I got preg. I have 3 kids. Dimetapp works also.

I've heard the pillow thing too. I tried that. LOL

DONT TRY!!!!!! That works ALOT!!!!!!!!! I have a niece that will be a year old on 12-26.

GOOD luck and Have FUN!!!!!!!!

Just have "fun" every day. That worked for us when we tried for our first one. Don't stress about it. VERY IMPORTANT to see doc for prenatal vitamins. Good luck!

well what i did was make sure i was off birth control, then started taking extra vitamins (folic acid is very important before you get pregnant to prevent certain brith defects) then i determined when i would be most fertile http://www.americanbaby.com/ab/fertilitypredictor/

then have "fun" hehe. i knew right away that i was expecting because 2 days after the last day of my most fertile days i felt an unusual cramping. that is a good sign. it means that the uterous is preparing itself. good luck to you!
