Trying to Conceive
Posted: 12-20-03 23:25pm

Age: 27 yrs. Old
children: 0
first day of last menstrual period:
12/15/03
i am 27yrs. Old recently married (in
july). My husband and I are trying to
conceive.
We have been trying for 5 months now. We
have been having intercourse
everyday. My period is a very regular 26
day cycle. How often and on
what days should we have intercourse to
increase our chances of
conceiving?
Am I over-paranoid in wondering why i'm
not getting pregnant should i
give it more time?

I don't think that you are being overly
paranoid, but relax. The more stressed
out about it that you are, the harder it
will be to accomplish your goal. That is
just the way life is. I believe that 14
days into your cycle is when you are most
fertile, but I could be wrong. A lot of
the other girls would not better than I
would. So, I am sure one of them will be
posting soon to fill you in on that.
Good luck. And relax.

I also am a newlywed, married aug 30th of
this year. We also have been trying to
conceive. My doctors tells me, from the
first day of your period, days 10- 17.
At least every other day. Dont stress
though. Have fun doing it. I am now
6wks along. I actually took my mothers
advice and stood on my head(after
ejaculation) I had troubles keeping it
inside of me. So I stood on my head. I
felt like I was a kid again. And it
worked!!

Nicole,

And how long were you trying for... I
been trying for 4 months now and
nothing...
I am doing my temps and checking my cm
every day... But I will try anything
now...

Trish,
i have a history of endometriosis which
makes it very difficult to conceive. I
tried for 2 years or so with my ex fiance
without any luck. My husband(now) and I
have been trying since august. My uterus
is tipped severely backwards.
Theoretically I thought standing on my
head after sex made sense. I did it for
about 2 minutes, then my neck started to
hurt. Days 10-17, and try standing on
your head!!  good
luck and let me know how it goes.

I have been told and also read on several
sites that you should have intercourse
every other day, so that the sperm has a
chance to build up. Go to epregnancy.Com
they have an ovulation section and if you
put in your information, it tells you when
you are most likely to conceive. I've
also heard that chaste berry extract helps
to boost ovulation. Goodluck!

I too have been trying for 3 months to no
avail. I was married in june of this
year. I have gone to webmd.Com and
charted out my own ovulation calendar.
Hopefully it will help.
Good luck to you!

I am also trying to conceive and I find
that laying on my back and then flipping
my legs over my head so that absolutely no
semen can get out, and that the only way
it can go is down to the cervix, is a
pretty good way if your body can do it! I
also elevate my legs and make sure I don't
get up for at least 30mins! If you go to
www.Babycenter.Com
they have ovulation predictors, fertility
charts and tons of great info! Wishing
you all the best of luck!

Stand on your head, im telling you. It
cant hurt. Try it!! And make sure
you're having sex days 10-17 of your
cycle. The first day of your period
being day one. Worked for me and I never
thought I would conceive with only one
ovary(damaged as well), and a servere
retroverted uterus. Its fun too!!

The problem is...I only see my boyfriend
usually 2-3 days on my most fertile days
and ovulation because we don't live
together......Do you think it's still
possible?

everything happens for a reason.
