    Download the "My Days" app on your phone. It helps keep track of your periods, ovulation, and you can even take daily temperatures and record them to more accurate determine when ovulation occurs. This helps identify the best days to try. It's a free app and can really help people get pregnant.

    Let me know if it helps!!!!

    This book was helpful to my daughter who just had a baby boy: http://realbabyfood.info/the-book.html

    Preparing your body to be a mother is the best gift you can give your baby. Sorry, that's not very modern thinking, but I believe we were blessed with, and given the enormous responsibility as a woman, to bring life into this world ... and the best payback/payforward is the healthiest baby possible.

    We tried for 9 months before we conceived my son - what seemed to "do the trick"was:

    to lose 30 lbs (I had about 50 to lose)
    I cut caffeine
    And we followed a "plan" (It has a name but I'm blanking at the moment) where we had sex every odd day of my cycle, days 12-16 every day and then back to every other day.

    Of course that same plan hasn't worked for the second try.

    I've heard of others taking robotussen or Musonex (sp?) to improve their CM

    My tip is to go to fertilityfriend.com and read as much as you can there. They have an ovulation calendar you can track your dates etc on, there is alot of support for people with fertility issues. I've got secondary infertility, and I got a lot of helpful information from there.

    Good luck.
