Just checking in to see if there is anyone out there like me. I am 35 (almost 36) and me and my husband have been trying since May of 07. I have 3 children from a previous marriage and we decided after being together 7 years that we would like to try and add to our family. Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. I am temp charting and doing the OPK and every month I am doing everything right (or I think I am) I have been to my doctor and everything looks great from the surgery and I am ovulating normally so what is my problem. My husband has had a semen check and he is great too. Please help! Anne

Yes, well kinda in the same position. I'm 35 and have been ttc for about 1year now. Same, doing everything supossed to be doing but nothing happening yet. I reckon that we have to keep on trying and keep positive, when I went for my hsg last week the doctor who carried it out said that thinking positively will help she also said that as Doctors they are even told to recommend prayer to their patients as it affects the part of the braun that controls good feeling and therefore has a knock on effect on hormones etc.

I know it's a bit heavy for a Wednesday afternoon but I thought that it might help and to remind myself also.

Take care spk soon

Hi, I'm new here and am TTC. I'm 30 years old and we've been trying since November.

I hope we will all be able to conceive soon! I am praying every day and night. Each month comes and goes and my hope diminishes a little every month. I keep praying so hopefully it will happen soon!
Has anyone heard about having too much intercourse that it can weaken the sperm? Is it a myth or can it be true? During the week of ovulation we try at least once a day. Is that too much? WOW Too much info for a Wed!

Some say that to BD every other day is better as it gives OH to recover and produce better swimmers.

Hi,

I am 38 years old. Myself and DH were TTC for just over a year and a half when I fell pregnant last December. Unfortunately I suffered a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks two weeks ago and now find myself back on the TTC road. I am currently waiting for my cycle to return which will probably take a few weeks and then we are going to start trying again.

Hi all

I am Farheen and will be 32 this year and TTC #1

Been married for 4 years this July and havent used any contraception since been married ....so pretty much was open to conceiving asap...

nearly 4 years on and no success whatsoever

its been an emotional journey and now i dont even discuss it with hubby as he thinks its not a good time for us 2 have a kid....but then in his eyes it never is! so i think its pretty much just get pregnant and tell him about it when its done

anyway i am currently residing in Saudi Arabia

my cycles are whack and i just dont know what i can do....ive had all the tests and they were all ok...hubby was all clear and i have taken fertility tabs for 6mnths with no result

no money for IVF etc so no idea what i can do now except just keep trying the old fashioned way

Hi,
I am Lorraine and me and my husband have been trying for a baby for nearly 2 years. I am 36 and he is 34.
My husband has low motility and morphology. We went to see a specialist in November and have been told that we would need ICSI. We are not entitled to any help on the NHS as I already have a daughter (age 13).
We can pay for ICSI privately but this will cost approx 3K per try, not the kind of money we have spare at the moment.
In the meantime we have both changed our lifestyles and my husband is taking loads of vitamins in an attempt to improve the motility and morphology of his sperm.

Look forward to chatting to you soon!
