GeraldineMN needs your help with conception ideas/thoughts

[GeraldineMumsnet]

I'm doing some stuff for the site but before I get too far wanted to ask what anyone who has had problems trying to conceive (first time, or subsequent times) wished they'd been told (or known) beforehand/ would want to highlight for other women. Thank you.

I used fertility friend when we were ttc. It's so long ago that I can't remember whether there were extra things that would have made it better!

I used Hormonal Forecaster and think it's very good. I'd second just about everything everyone else has said.

And I'd also say, don't wait to see your GP until you're really sure there's a problem, get yourself in the system, don't feel embarrassed about going or feel like you're wasting their time, just do it. Also, read up on every aspect of the process and make sure that when you see your GP, or later on maybe a consultant, you have really thought about what to ask.

Also, don't feel like you have to have sex at the right time if you really don't fancy it. A month off might do both of you the world of good when you've been trying for a while.

do not tell people you are ttc it adds pressure,
keep sex life fun and spontaneous do not let ttc ing take over your life
eat healthily
feed your man pumpkin seeds . sunflower seeds to promote healthy sperm
other people will get prg it will hurt but it is easier if you feel happy for them otherwise it eats you up
