Get drunk and have sex with someone who is of a different race than your husband. According to everything I have learned from daytime TV, this works every time.
^^THIS WORKS0 -
Number one RELAX!!! Chart your cycles (I used fertilityfreind.com) and use Ovulation Predictor kits; especially if your cycles are erratic. Unfortunately for me I did all this but ended up having to do IVF ( but happy to report that was successful - I have a beautiful 8 month old girl); mainly due to my age.0

im currently pregnant after an "accident" lol, but my ob jokes that i have super ovaries with my first pregnancy being twins... but i have a few friends stressing n trying... i say dont stress, u can look at your ovulation days, monitor your temperature n all that but i think if you over do it the stress gets to you... i've heard a good rule of thumb is give it a good year before resorting to anything... eat right, apparently yams increase fertility? but who knows.. just have fun!!! woohoo!!! lol0

Warning graphic warning graphic: Don't read if you can't handle graphic sex ed.
Walmart sells an ovulation kit called answers its 18.00 bucks for 30 or so strips its the cheapest and the best for your buck. I don't know about you but I can't afford 25 dollars for 7 sticks. If you don't know when you ovulate it's best to start taking the test for a month at time. You are supposed to ovulate 14 days after your first day of your period. Mine is 16 days. Thats why I suggested testing a whole month the first few times. Diet and stress can affect your ovulation. So if it comes late sometimes or not at all don't let this stress you out.
Sex every other day. SPerm only live for 72 hours after that they are x_x dead. You want fresh live swimmers so every other day!!! Have your hubby drink orange juice increases swimmer count. IT ups your chance for a girl because boy sperms cant handle highly acidic enviroments but it does increase his tad poles.
Don't get up for at least 2 hours after sex. All his seed will just fall out. (Sorry to be detailed we've been trying for 2 yrs. We've had one miscarriage. I can almost be a infertility specialist myself at this point...hahaha)
Let him be on top when your ovulating. You can get on the pillow faster (which I sit on for 20min) and they work with gravity so if your on top, I'm sure you get the point..
Also sex doggy style gets the swimmers in farther also.
I don't want to overwhelm you but I hope some of this helps. Good Luck on your adventure.0 -
google ovulation predictors.
my doctor said you start ovulating 7 to 10 days from the first day of your period.
and a trick he said to try, do it every other day.
three months later - VOILA i was pregnant with my now almost two year old punk 0 -
I agree with this wholeheartedly! When we were trying to conceive our oldest I joined www.fertilityfriend.com and about 4 months into it started charting my cycles and my Basal body temp. I not only got an amazing little boy out of it but I learned a lot about my body in the process.The book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" is a great resource and very informative about your body and signs of fertility - I highly recommend it!0 -

Have to agree with the doggy style :blushing: and the relaxing
Tried for a year and a half to get pregnant with one miscarriage. Gave up trying. Was minding my own business taking a shower and my husband decided to join me. Ten minutes of grabbing my ankles and 9 months later, my baby girl was born!0 -

yes it help tons, what i dont get is why babymed.com tells me not to have sex during ovulation0 -
Mate like rabbits.
Jk, no advice here hun, sorry. Maybe talk with your doctor about options?0 -
find an ovulation calculator on line and put your info in!!!!!! it will give you a four day window that your are fertile and then just go at it like crazy those four days!!! i concieved two kiddos that way!!!! good luck and have fun!!!0
-
have you and your hubby both been checked out? any medical conditions causing a delay PCOS low motility? if not then maybe getting a basal body thermometer and waking everday at same time taking temp before getting up to do anything and charting it and finding your own best time.
Not everyone ovulates
Not everyone has a 28 day cycle
Not everyone ovulates mid cycle
getting pg for us was like a science experiment....with temps and graphs and tracking cervical mucus and position and if it was opened of closed....TMI I know but it all worked and we now ahve 3 kiddos and that is a major miracle for a girl like me with PCOS and IR0 -
well im every 26-28 days it all depends but i have been reading online that you shouldn't have sex while ovulation0

Read the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. Also, if you give me your email address I can send you an invite to the fertility sight I am on. Both of these will help you a LOT in trying to conceive. PM me if you want to chat about it....I have a pretty extensive knowledge of reproductive science! :happy:0

Have sex every other day for a week in the middle of your cycle, so like day 10 until day 18.0

The book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" is a great resource and very informative about your body and signs of fertility - I highly recommend it!
This was going to be my suggestion as well -- it's an amazing book. It's worth it's weight in gold, IMO.0 -
Simply have sex as often as you possibly can. I used the ovulation calendars when trying to get pregnant with my second, and ended up getting pregnant on a day that should have been impossible according to the calendar. I was simply using the calendar, I wasn't checking basal body temp, cervical fluids, etc. If you want to get really serious about accurate charting, then you need to do those things also.
There are no days that you shouldn't be having sex. I know some of those calendars tell you when you should and when you shouldn't if you're trying to get a specific gender. However, if you want to get pregnant you should have sex as often as physically possible.0 -

I just looked on babymed.com and this is what is says:
Have sex regularly at least 2-3 times a week and every day during the 5-6 fertile days before ovulation and the day of ovulation. To improve your chances getting pregnant you need to make love on your fertile days. You only have 5-6 fertile days each cycle, the 4-5 fertile days before and the day of ovulation. Having sex more than 5 days before the day of ovulation or having sexual intercourse the day after ovulation is less likely to get you pregnant.
Maybe you put in their calendar that you wanted a girl, and that's why it told you not to have sex on ovulation day?0 -
put a pillow under your bum when you do it! and stay there after for 10 mins!
no hot baths for hubby!
no tight pants of any sort for him also!
no booze or ciggies!
loose weight if you are the female!
folic acid 3 months before hand will also help baby tons!
great advice especially the folic acid...it prevents spina bifida and clef palette. Keep trying and it will happen...PRAY!!0 -
