hubby is in the forces and due to go away end of july. Hes not home much before then in fact its only 6 wks which are spread out over the next few months. Im desperate to fall pregnant before then as i want ds to be close in age hes 2'5years now. Ive stopped smoking, drinking, i havent been on the pill for months and have been having regular sex especially on my most fertile days. Is there anything else i could do or take to improve my chances. Im starting to get really down as i fell pregnant when ds was 10mths old by complete accident and was devastated i couldnt even remeber how or when it happend as o/h and i hardly had sex. Anyway i m/c and have felt guilty ever since for not wanting it and seeing how ds is in need of a playmate. Im just so annoyed that now im ready for another baby and actively trying it just doesnt seem to be happening.

Hi Mum2Sam
know how you feel as i have been where you are. Try and relax firstly, I also bd twice on my most fertile days, took pre natal vitamins, dh took multi vitamins and zinc which is good for sperm. Oh and legs in the air or pillow under bum after.

that's all i can think of, I really believe babies just come when they want and not when we would like them to. I would have had my family complete by now, without my 3 m/c, but I will get there in the end, doesn't matter now that it will take longer.

Hello it must be hard with your DH away a lot. Please don?t shout at me (and I do understand how it feels to want a baby and it not to happen!) but I really believe state of mind is an essential part too. Visualise your new baby and make time to relax and take time for you. I am sure that is really hard with a toddler but it might make all the difference.

As Uki said, the vits are worthwhile for you both and you might want to consider giving your fertility a boost with sperm friendly lubricant around the vital times as it gives the sperm somewhere to live if you don?t have enough fertile CM. Pre-seed is good and you can get it from Access Diagnostics website.

Good luck!
