i am new to this posting . Let me tell
you a little about myself . Iam 24 and dh
is 36 we have been ttc for 4 month now and
have been having unsuccesfull arghhhh ....
I am getting upset every month when af
shows her ugly head , and
dh keeps telling me to stop worrying it
will happen when the time is right argh, I
feel like he doesnt understand .. Anyway
my question is to you all . Has any got
any tips on how to conceive , I
have a 28 day cycle and I am regular
every month. I am beginning to think it
seems ridulous to only have sex when u
ovulate :d especially when it doesnt
seem to get me pregnant . I have also
been having my legs up in the air ater bd
does anybody think that is really nessary
I
havent been charting all I have been doing
is checking ecwm and when I am fertile we
bd . And wait for a few weeks hoping for
the best, but of course nothing happens
.
Hope someone can help, as we are all in
the same boat . Maybe someone can be a
waiting partner with me when
can I take the test ?? And how long do I
have to go without urinating
before I can test
sorry for the long posting ..

Hey,
welcome to the forums
to be honest with you I do pretty much the
same thing you do and both times i've done
it it has worked. My cycle is 28 days.
I usually have sex 10 days before the
first day (4 days before ovulation) of my
last period till about 17 days from the
first day of my last period because you
only have 12-24hours for ovulation (the
time the egg actually is able to become
fertalized) it's smart to have sex a
couple of days before you ovulate so the
sperm is there waiting for the egg just
incase your not able to have sex on a
certain day or whatnot (sperm can live up
to 5 days). You should ovulate around the
14th day however some ppl do ovulate at
different times. The best way to predict
that is by charting your bbt or by maybe
getting an ovulation kit. That can help
incase you might be ovulating at a
different time. I usually don't put my
legs in the air rather my hips. I put a
pillow two under my hips and just lay like
that for about 20-30 mins. Some ppl say
it doesnt work but I say it does. As for
taking a test it would be smart to wait
till the first day of your missed period
even though there are tests out there that
allow you to test a day or two before your
period. For best results you should test
using first morning urine speically if
your going to test before you've missed a
period. However most tests these days
will tell you that you don't have to use
first morning urine. You should wait 4-7
hours though and don't drink too much
water that will dilute the urine and may
give you false results. Don't worry too
much most Dr. Won't be worried until a
year of trying has passed before they run
any tests. Give it a couple of more
months.
Stop trying to have a baby!!!! Relax :d
your probably stressing your body out and
that will sometimes make it hard to
conceive. Go away for the weekend and
have a romantic evening! Good luck and
have fun trying!!!!!!
