Really sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I can imagine how hard it must have been to go through this.

I noticed few of the mums here have been in your situation and now are pregnant and all is well so pls don't stress it will happen when your body is ready for it.

I would suggest to any lady that wants to stay pregnant to just keep a note when she is ovulating and to try and do the deed on the day. Also start taking folic acids straight away regardless if pregnant or not. Maybe cut down on alcohol intake and try and just relax. Stay positive and it will happen lovely.

All the best x

Call me old fashioned but lots and lots of hot sex! The kind that makes your toes curl in excitement! In the words of Big Momma 'you gotta give it up, morning noon and night!'

To fall pregnant you need to be as relaxed and comfortable as possible in your own skin without stressing 'am i aren't i' every month Check your physical health, resolve to get fitter (the sex will be hotter!) and eat well. Hot sex takes the pressure off both parties and then..... well i wish you luck :)

I used ovulation sticks (basic no frills ones says the NHS uses and quite cheap - csn be found on ebay) to help me identify when I was ovulating. Best thing to do is not stress and enjoy it! I'm pretty sure I got pregnant after me and my boyfriend had sex following him giving me a back massage!!

My sister swears by reflexology. You can get this specifically for trying to conceive.

All the best of luck to you both xxx

once u drop the pressure on urself, i believe the body responds better. as mamacool says, lots n lots of hot sex is key. Dont think about it, just let the mood take you. Its very important that you are highly aroused in the act so let urself go. I saw something on a tv show once that when women are implanted with an embryo at a fertility clinic, they recommend that the woman is aroused before the procedure.

I had a miscarriage back in march/start of april and after waiting until the first period after the miscarriage, me and my fella didnt actively try, we just had lots of sex when we felt in the mood to and I got pregnant the very first month. No period in May, tested and now im 24 weeks.

Relax, enjoy and good luck! I'm sure we will hear a success story from u soon x

2 of my friends really struggled to get and stay pregnant. From them i learned that if you have been ttc for more than a year with no luck, the hospital will give you fertility drugs I've been pregnant 4 times and thankfully 2 of mine i managed to keep so i understand the heartache and desperation to have a baby that mcs make you feel from personal experience.

Personally, i can tell straight away when my body is ready to get pregnant and my advice is to get to know your body, you'll start to produce a wet slippery discharge (like egg whites) when your about to ovulate and thats when you need to jump in the sack ;) - the discharge helps the sperm survive and carries it to the egg (normally inside the vagina is too acidic and sperm will die if your not ovulating) if you dont feel this happening, on ebay they sell really cheap ovulation tests that WORK, i used them all the time when ttc just to make sure, as soon as the two lines show up, jump into bed with your partner.

If you can afford it, take the pre-pregnancy pregnacare vitamins, my friend took 4 years trying with no success, she took these back in june and fell pregnant in july withoit using the fertility drugs!, she's still pregnant this time thank god and is now 14 weeks!

If you dont fall pregnant first month, next month, straight away after sex, put a pillow under your bum and get your legs up! Keep them there for at least 10 mins, helps the swimmers get to the egg with a bit of gravity - you feel daft but this is what i did every time ttc and it worked EVERY time - i lost 2 but i firmly believe if i had taken the pregnacare tablets and didnt end up having an underlying medical problem, it would have worked.

I wish you all the best hun and hope my advice helps. This is what i did and i have 2 beautiful boys to show for it now finally! God luck, let us know how you get on :)

Probably the best thing to do is to stop trying, that is usually then when it happens as you are at your most relaxed. I especially would not stress as you are still so young, it will happen one day :-)

Get 'Take charge of your fertility'. It's an amazing book, just check the reviews! We started TTC in August, I bought this in September and got a positive test in October. Couldn't recommend highly enough!!

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I know how you are feeling. I have had a pervious miscarriage aswell :-(. I now have 2 beautiful kids and expecting my third. Im due on 15th of this month. I cant wait. Anyway I got pregnant with this baby after ages after having sex every other day. It worked for me and good luck.

My husband and i were trying for 9 months and i started to think it wasn't going to happen (i'm 39) then i used an ovulation monitor (expensive but so worth it) in the tenth month and for 8 days straight we had slow, half asleep sex every morning before we went to work, and here i am 17 weeks pregnant. I know everyone means well when they say try to relax and it will happen but in my experience (and i'm sure after a miscarriage) that is a LOT easier to say than to do. My very best wishes to you - it will happen, just keep at it, but do get a good idea of when you ovulate as it's such a small window. Lots of love xxxxxxxxxx

Really don't know if this is what helped us, but anything is worth a try...

My husband is in the army and we are a sea apart for most of the time so don't get to see each other as much as we would like. We thought I was going through the menopause last year (I've just turned 40 last month) as the blood tests I had over the course of 5 months at the beginning of last year were at the level of a post menopausal woman! Suddenly they rose to a normal level so we thought we would give it a go and see if we could get pregnant. Obviously with only seeing each other for a short time (around 2 weeks) every few months, it was going to be difficult so when I heard about a product called Pre-Seed, I decided to give it a go. (amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00....

We also wrote the names of a couple of angels on paper and stuck them all over the house (Samandriel and Yusamin) - hey don't laugh - it did no harm :p

Worked first time for us (or within a week of him being home) now we are 3 weeks away from our miracle baby :)

Good luck and I agree with the above - get down beneath those bedsheets :p xx

Sorry to hear of your loss. My partner and I tried to conceive for nearly 2 years. Went to doctor for investigations and after lots of tests found out I had PCOS. Was prescribed a fertility drug called Clomiphene and it worked after 2 months of taking it. I'm now 18 weeks pregnant with my first son and feel completely blessed. I will say, going through sub-fertility and trying to conceive for 2 years was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. I went through bouts of severe depression, and constantly thought that I would never ever become a mum, so I understand how you might be feeling. All I can say is to try and occupy your mind with other things, keep a busy and active social life, and although it's extremely hard, try not to let it take over your life. Enjoy the time with your partner... It will happen for you soon. xxxx Good luck xx
