We’ve been trying to get pregnant for 4 years and nothing yet. The physicians state everything is fine so I need to put together a bag of tricks. Please be sensitive I'm losing faith and about ready to let go of our dream to be parents.
Answer:
Please don't give up yet. I know it always seems that everyone around you is getting pregnant except you and it's hard to stay positive. We tried for at least 6 out of 8 years of marriage, not knowing that I wasn't ovulating. We have been actively trying (with the help of Clomid) for a couple of years now and I'm in my TWW of Clomid cycle #10. I’ve 2 rounds left on it and then I don't know what we're going to do. I'm NOT going to tell you not to think about it because, when you've been trying for so long, that's ALL you think about some days. Be healthy, take your vitamins (especially folic acid… as if you didn't know that) and relax. Blah. I know… if anyone says that to ME one more time… lol…
Good luck, sweetie. I really hope it's your month. You deserve to be the great mom that I'm sure you'd be. =)
Answer:
Start taking folic acid now. You reduce your chances of giving birth to a baby with a neural tube defect (for example, anencephaly or spina bifida) by 50% to 70% if you begin taking at least 0.4 mg of folic acid each day two to three months before you start trying to conceive.
Try to keep sex fun when you're trying to conceive. Use rooms other than the bedroom or schedule your babymaking rendezvous for an odd time of day. The rationale? You won't be able to keep up the babymaking pace for very long if sex starts feeling like a chore.
Don't hop up and run to the lavatory right after you make love. Lying down for at least a few minutes (some fertility experts state five minutes) after intercourse increases the odds that the sperm will be able to keep their date with the awaiting egg and that you'll win at baby roulette.
Make love often during your fertile period (the five days leading up to ovulation). If you've got the stamina to make love at least every 48 hours, you will ensure that there's a fresh shipment of sperm waiting in the fallopian tube at any given time. Of course, you can get too much of a good thing if your partner has a low sperm count, so if you're aware of a pre-existing fertility problem, you'll want to speak this issue over with your fertility specialist.
Answer:
My husband and I are 27 and having been trying for over 2 years. I am very healthy and hormone tests, ultrasounds ect have come back good. Took first round of clomid this month. Produced 3 eggs since I was already producing normally. Ovulated over the weekend and now I am just waiting. I can very well comprehend your lose of faith as I too have been feeling that way as well. It is a hard journey when things don't seem to work out. Hang in there… and I’ll try to as well. I was also told chance of twins went from 4% to 10%. I’m willing to take that chance since nothing seems to have worked so far.
Answer:
I’m in the same situation. I would ask the physician about taking clomid. You do have a small chance of multiples, but I'm sure you wouldn't mind. I start my first time on clomid in 4 days.
Answer:
Try a gangbang.
