We had sex every other day throughout that month becos I have no idea about ovulation and stuff and made it as much fun as possible.We got pregnant the following month.

The doctor suggested that instead of just having sex once, do it several times in a row. So, 3-4 times on the days of ovulation. That seemed to work right away!Good luck to you

I started taking Centrum Women`s vitamins (I had already been taking folic acid). I also got sick and took Nyquil right around the days I got pregnant... we had tried for almost a year so were trying to figure out what was different about that month, and those are the only things we could think of!!

oh and i also stopped going to the bathroom after and just went to sleep after sex

It took me nine years. I dropped sixty pounds and had sex every single day. after not missing a single day was prego within a month.

I stopped caring. We went on vacation and I got pregnant after 11 months of trying. I`m now pregnant with the second, and this was a complete surprise, we weren`t even trying! If you think about it too much, or put too much pressure on yourself, it won`t happen. Just relax.

Thanks for all the comments, ladies. I got pregnant the first month with baby #1. So, naively I thought I would get pregnant right away again with #2. We are now on month 3, and I`m getting a bit anxious! I know that`s not too long, but still, I appreciate all your advice. I will be trying them all.

We tryed the ovualtion chart for 3 months and nothing happened so we decided to just go at it like there was no tomorrow and the 4th month the job was done. To sum it up have lots and lots and lots of hot steamy passionate lovemaking, don`t stress about it cause it is fun trying and you wanna be able to enjoy trying for a few months and you will be preggers in no time!

We thought we were being careful NOT to get pregnant, but didn`t mind IF it would happen - hence only during my wife`s period we did it without protection. That this wasn`t 100% safe became clear 1 month later when my wife turned out to be pregnant; now very happy we will have a healthy son. The main point i.m.o. is not to try too hard and not to worry. Just enjoy.

kater (97.8 days ago)
we tried for 5 years, with no positive results, then hubby and i had a long talk, and decided we were just going to be happy with the one child we had. after a few months of just relaxing, and not worrying about anything, one night my hubby said `why dont we just try one last time?` i just laughed, i didnt think he was serious, but-that night we conceived! bub is due later this month. i didnt believe that just relaxing would have such an effect, but hey, it worked for me!

It took us five years to get prego with our first the one thing that I did differently was put a pillow under your hips and above the knees.... the key is not to elevate them to high.. only slightly... but it could have been a combination of that and it was just the right time.

lisa-82 (97.9 days ago)
I dont necessarily believe all that getting preg. 5 days after your period-my baby was conceived a week before my period and i still had a period and then the following mth is when i found out i was 6wks pregnant.

RobinG (97.9 days ago)
We ditched the ovulation kits and TTC starting day 5 after my period or as close to it as possible and had sex every other day the entire month. My doc suggested it and it worked both times after trying for 2 years ~ the OV kits were wrong we realized and found that I OV early...days 4-7 and implant early too ~ We would start trying every day days 10 and on and we always missed the OV date ~ Be on the bottom then lay on your back after butt propped up and allow gravity to take over ~ stay that way for at least half an hour :)

i was using ovulation predictor sticks the entire time. just made sure i bd`d on the day i got a positive. i had been on the pill so it took awhile for my body to regulate

windchime (97.9 days ago)
I charted my basal body temp every morning - do some research on this if you don`t know about it... basically a spike in temp tells you that you have ovulated, and then you can predict for the next month when it will happen. We had sex 5 days in a row, with day 3 being my expected date of ovulation (based on the temp chart). I also did like alex76 and laid in bed after for about 20 min.

lisa-82 (98 days ago)
i did what alex76 did.

alex76 (98 days ago)
I got pregnant in the 1st month but what I did do different (sorry if TMI)was after the deed I lay in bed with a pillow under my hips and didnt visit the bathroom right after. I lay like this for about 15 minutes. Both times it worked and I`ve only ever done that twice. I told a friend and it worked for her after 4 years of trying.

DonnaMarie1984 (98 days ago)
Simple, I stopped trying! We decided it wasn`t our time, and we would try again after the wedding. So we stopped trying the way we were, but still didn`t use protection - we went on a short weekend break, came back all relaxed and happy and a few weeks later found out I was pregnant :)

professorpreggers (98 days ago)
I realized I didn`t have enough of my own CM so I bought preseed. I didn`t check my cervix the first month either. I was just taking my temp but not charting. The second month I was able to bd when my cervix was the highest and the most open in the am--by evening it had already gone down. Between these too things I had my bfp in month two.
