help me get prego!

Hopeful88 · 10-16-2009, 06:34 PM

Hi,
I have been off birth control for almost 6 months now, and i want to have a baby now! I'm sure every woman thinks this, but i'm not sure if i can get prego...i know taking prenatal helps, but what else can i do? i have sex often with my partner, and i know its not him (he has a daughter)...so what do i need to do? what helped you ladies get pregnant?! and how long did it take?!

It took me about 2 years to get pregnant with my 1st.

Are you regular? Do you know when you ovulate?

Having sex 24/7 for a month is not the answer. The more often you have sex, the lower his sperm count is. Start by charting your cycles and abstain from having sex for a couple of days prior to your ovulation days. Enjoy yourself then.

Research and chart your basal body temperature. Have sex when your body is ready. Again, when you are not ready, he needs to abstain from ejaculating to build up his count. You can buy the BBT thermometers and charts at any pharmacy.

This is the point where I went to the Dr and was put on Chlomid. Others may have more suggestions before medical intervention. But if you go to the Dr and say, I've had sex for a month straight and can't get pregnant, he's gonna have you go through a couple of months charting before doing anything. He should anyways.

Good luck!

Took me one month both times. Everyone is different. Good diet, exersize, good general health will help anything.

The first time my sister got pregnant her and her husband had been trying for almost a year. They are now trying again and its been seven months and nothing yet. The first time she got pregnant she had just started to really get into a good exercise routine and it seemed like as soon as she was dropping some weight and getting in shape she got pregnant. Some of my friends it only took a month. So it just depends on the person and your body. Good luck!
