Hi Karen - good luck with TTC - I just got pregnant after almost 2 years of
trying - so don't give up! With me it's number 5 and I have never had
problems getting pregnant before!

You say this is number 4 - and yet you have 2 children? I was just
wondering if you had had problems during pregnnacy before and if perhaps
that could effect things now?

Try the obvious - putting a cushion beneath your bottom during sex -
staying horizontal for at least 30 minutes after sex - some people even lie
with their legs up the wall. It just stops the semen flowing back out and
gives them a helping hand! Make sure you are taking a pre-conception
supplement or pre-natal supplement with all the necessary nutrients. I
don't know if it was a coincidence or not but I got pregnant a month or so
after starting to take a regular supplement - including iron.

I was due to have all my infertility tests done this month - blood tests for
hormone levels on day one and day 21 etc etc and then a week after booking
these I found out I was pregnant!! So there is hope

Bws
Jane

Hi all

I'm Karen, hubbie and I have been trying to conceive for 9 months now with
no joy.

I am 35 and will be 36 this year. I have 2 kids from my first marriage but
hubbie (40) has none.
We have bee advised by doctor today to have blood test and sperm count tests
done, these are due to be done in 3 weeks time and will get results in 5
weeks. So looks like a waiting game.

I've bought some ovulation and pregnancy testing sticks in hope.

Who'd have thought getting pregnant for #4 would be this hard.

We TTC joint baby #1.

Any advice is gratefully received.

Karen & Gary
