Hi All. My partner and I are trying to get convice. Any Tips? Should i be taking any vitamins?

We only really want to take a few months to convice.

Pregnacare Conception is a good place to start- it includes folic acid which is pretty vital for fetal development. Also amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00... is great - i'm convinced it helped us!

Lots of sex too

Good luck

Hey, I took Mum to Be which is a bit more budget friendly as well as Pregnacare if on offer, Folic Acid is key for Neuro tube development.

Your OH could boost his swimmers with Zinc or take a multivitamin like Wellman.

If you want to know approx when you ovulate count back 14 days from start of period, if 28 days cycle then day 14 ovulate. Personally my cycle was 23-25 days so my fertile period 9-11 but

What's also worth noting is sperm can survive in the body for about 4 days so need to get it on before ovulation

Too much sex will give you immature sperm and not your ideal baby making type, every other day is perfect your egg only lives for 24hrs once released.

(Sorry if a bit sciencey, I cannot help myself with scientific /medical background and I find conception fascinating!)

Good luck X

Should I go see a doctor first. To see if everything is okay for me to have kids. Or try to conceive for a few months to see if we can

I think a doctor will tell you to go n do some playing first and enjoy it unless you have a known condition that could affect fertility eg PCOS where they might give further advice. I'd heard sex every other day from days 7-14 is about right as there's always some new swimmers in there then ready for your egg. No need to go at it like rabbits!!! Good luck!!

They usually say if you haven't conceived within a yr then see a dr...u need to try..go on holiday, relax and try not to get taken over by it.. but dont stop after few months as u need to be patient. . Gd things come to those who wait. X

I made the most of the sex every other day theory and it seemed to work fine!

[LoLo24]

Perfect! thank you all for your help! Hopefully it happens soon!

I tracked my bbt religiously every morning to figure out my ovulation patterns, really helped me get in touch with what my body was up to, took pregnacare conception and hubbie did too, men's ones obv! I dieted and upped the exercise to get healthy as i could, dropped alcohol. but then the one month we went oh holiday, got drunk, ate what I wanted, forgot to track temperature, we got pregnant! So by all means do all the right things but also relax, have fun and enjoy the baby making! X
