Hi all
I'm Karen, hubbie and I have been trying to conceive for 9 months now = with no joy.=20 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.

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 "Kazh" wrote in message ... 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.

We TTC joint baby #1. Any advice is gratefully received. Welcome Karen! To add to CY's advice, I can tell you I have very good experience with the re-usable saliva tests for ovulation. They come at a ~$20 price, the only thing you need to do is put some saliva on a small microscope, let it dry and look at the pattern. If it's ferning, you are fertile. In combination with the TCOYF method it works very well for me, as a sole test it is not very exact, but cheap. If you really want to know exactly when you ovulate, the oral ovulation kits are much more precise, but they do come at a price. Besides that, living a healthy life and feeling good about yourself are also prime things to keep in mind. That goes for both of you. I know how much stress this must be for you, in spite of that, try not to let it take over your life. Make sure you keep enjoying the little things of being together. I hope that all will be well, and you are just off on the wrong side of the average for no particular reason.
