I will try anything to conceive!!

[Smileymoon1]

Been TTC for two years. No pregnancy at all. Been medically checked and all ok. Have children already so I know that I can get pregnant. Planned to have one more and was fairly relaxed about it although I had recurrent miscarriage previously but now I’m so fed up! I know I’m so so lucky to have DC already and I think I’ve become a bit obsessed with wanting a third DC.
Any tips to try?! I’m willing to try any weird and wonderful tips to help!! X

When I had recurrent miscarriages the consultant at the RPL clinic recommended Better You 3000 vitamin D spray. He says that most people in the uk have low vitamin D and this can be a factor in pregnancy loss. Apparently good levels of vitamin D also supports conception. And it will help your general health too so nothing to lose by trying it

Starflower oil capsules- worked for me

Took me 8 years to concieve and I swear what worked for me was reflexology and listening to a meditation app at night which relaxed me almost as much as the reflexology.

That and reminding myself, i HAD got pregnant before, my body knew what to do, and just sort of repeating that to myself.

Home artificial insemination and OKP's

Pointing out the obvious, you are having enough sex, aren't you?

Forget tracking fertility windows and OPKs.

Have sex 3 times a week every week until it happens.

Reflexology worked for me too, and I hate feet & people touching them usually.

Was just coming on to say this. I had fertility reflexology. Had been trying for 9 months and fell pregnant after 2 appointments with reflexologist, can't say for sure it was this but it certainly helped me relax if nothing else good luck xx

I remember someone telling me that best attitude to take is that you're really going to enjoy spicing up your sex life and focus on that. It takes a bit of pressure off because stress is the enemy. I found this along with conception supplements and working on mindfulness and mediations worked for me. Could also be the absolute luck of the draw but I think anything that stops it becoming all consuming is worthwhile because it really can feel like it takes over everything. Get out, do fun things and I personally made a point of enjoying lots of things I couldn't enjoy when pregnant while we were trying like cocktails/sushi/ nights out and fancy dinners/ long hot baths.

Also vote for pre-seed. Get it from Boots. It's basically a lube but it's to help couples conceive - it protects the sperm on its journey. We got pregnant first time we tried it. Had 3 attempts, first 2 times it didn't happen. 3rd attempt used pre seed and fell pregnant. Read reviews on it - they are overwhelmingly positive.

Try and have an orgasm.....who knew the female orgasm actually helps you get pregnant. An orgasm helps with sucking up the sperm through your cervix and shooting it up on its merry way😂

Hi. Try using a menstrual cup straight after you have sex to keep the sperm in. You can use opks to see when you're ovulating.

Did you use a special kit for this? X

Thank you for your replies. I was expecting to get flamed as this isn’t my first baby.
Im on vitamin D and trying to have regular sex. Don’t seem to ever get a positive ovulation test but Doctor has said when they did tests that I’m definitely ovulating xx

Yeah I've read Q10/the one that's a version of q10 I can't remember the name of .... Are good.

They say zinc & magnesium are v important too.

You seem nice.

Ubiquinol - that's the q10 one.

Some people say the Ava bracelet tracker is good.

There is also a tampon type tracker.

It's important to keeping mind that your chance per cycle is now on average 15% (30s is about 20-25%) so you've got more months to get through before your odds work for you.

The odds are chance per cycle combined with cycles.

I put 34 into an online calc avd it came back with this;

*20s is about 20-25%

You will take longer the older you are, on average.

There are obviously exceptions.

That means chilling out and patience are worth doing.

(Not sure if it still has it but the NHS fertility page used to have a fact that 90% of under 39 women will fall pregnant within 2 yrs.

I had to quote it all the time when the (false) 35 cliff people kept harping on about 35).

It took us 14 months to conceive DD.
The month we conceived we used a ferti-lily covered in preseed for the first time. DH had also been away for a week to his home country, he thinks the good food over there did it.
Some people use a moon cup but when I tried that I ended up with BV.

I see you're around 2 yrs now, but things aren't always precise & exact for everyone.

At 34 you could be referred for investigation after a year or more of trying. Things could have changed since your had your kids, it might be worth checking
.
I remember that silly woman who made headlines claiming women hated her because she was too pretty, found out that her older French husband (who had presumed he was not the problem when they TTC because he he had kids already) actually had had an infection that damaged his sperm.

There could be any no of things worth checking out.

Can’t you read titles? You could see what it was about but still clicked on it just to comment that 🙄
youre a delight aren’t you?!

Don’t seem to ever get a positive ovulation test

Are you using the clear blue smiley trackers?

There are monitors and well.

Getting to grip with your cycle I'd important. I think some women's change as they get older. I fell pregnant, I thought, having sex too early for my cycle .... But I read that older women (not you at 34) often ovulate early.

It seems like you need to get the rolls Royce of trackers avd try to pin it down.

People say all have all the time but the reality is there are only 5 - 7 days to realistically get pregnant during. And not all couples can manage sex all the time.
