    Default trying to help a friend

    my friend at work, i'll call her Mary. She is 35, going on 36 in October and she has been trying to conceive with no luck. She said she has tried when she was 31 and nothing happened and now she is trying again. Her periods usually go for 27 days( not 28) and this week- the week of 7/13, she has been feeling dizzy, lightheaded, sometimes naucious( spelled wrong) anyway she had her period two weeks ago and everything was normal. she is not on any birth control pills or shots.. nothing. Could she be pregant? she called her doctor and they said to wait till she misses her next period. Also is there anything she can do/ take to help her getting pregnant? oh, she said her and her hubby were "intimate" when her fertility was high and that was over a week ago. she said they have done it 5 times since the beginning of July.

    any thoughts why she is feeling like this?

    If she has "just" gone off the pill in order to try to get pregnant, this time round, her body could be changing to adapt.

    There are also alot of flu symptoms flying around out there on different levels and stomach bugs.

    She could try a home pregnancy test, but her Doctor is right, "patience"... wait and see.

    The thing I seem to note with friends around me, is they tried and tried and nothing and then gave up on the thought and continued their intimate relationships, and bang it just happened.

    I think so much comes from mind set, your "expecting, hoping, trying", it's like most things when your not trying, it happens.

    Tell your friend to just enjoy her marriage and intimacy and know that it will happen one day, not to fuss and worry about it every single month, it will drive her nuts.

    She needs to just relax and let it happen when it's meant to 36 is not old.

    You also say that they tried at 31, the only other thing I can think of is has he checked to see if he has a low sperm count?

    Lastly, I think, that having sex is one thing, "feeling the love" is another, it's a deeper love and I think more little swimmers get out of there and run for their lives when on a deep level, rather than "come on let's have sex, I'm ovulating".. do it with love.

    Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
    It doesn't happen over night
    if truth were to be told.

    Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
    you must believe!
