Getting pregnant

[Charlee2017]

Me and my husband have been trying for 6 months The doctors won’t do anything till you have been trying for a year does anyone else have any tips or suggestions or what to try

Have you kept a temperature chart ? It might help to know when you ovulate.

I kept one for several months when I then found by looking at it that I wasn't ovulating at all.

Took clomophil for a couple of months and, hey presto!, fell pregnant the following month.

Temperature usually rises a smidge on ovulation.

Good luck !

Hi

Ovulation sticks are good. Try to increase from one stick to 3 in a day and see when you get the strongest line. Some people can only get pregnant within a couple of hours of ovulation. It may mean you are trying at the wrong time of day. Another point is not every woman ovulates every month. In 6 months at maximum you would only have had 6 try's.

I recall no less than 18 people talk to me about having trouble. The most amount of time it took was 24 months. The quickest being 4 months. Try not to stress about it. Everyone is different. I know it feels like it will never be you but keep on hoping

Wishing you both good luck!!

Gosh , I'm way past needing luck - but thanks My two boys are now 25 and 23.

Don't forget most conceptions take place up to 48 hours after "the act" .... it takes time for them to swim in the right direction.

What is clomophil? I can’t find any explanation online?

[moo196 in reply to Cherrypie_76]

I may have spelt it incorrectly. Obviously it's a prescription drug only available from gp.

They insisted I did temperature charts and had blood tests in advance
