3 Answers
My husband and i are currently trying for our second baby, 1st time round it took us 3 heart breaking years to conceive so we have started while my daughter is young. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips about increasing our chances, i did try lots of different things before but as things change and research is always on going just wanted to know if anyone knew of anything that might help!!?
Should be ovulating any day now so any answers very grateful!! Thanks

Take your folic acid pills and avoid anything obviously unhealthy like alcohol and caffeine (both of you, dad's contribution is just as vital!). You could also try using a temperature chart to work out your most fertile time. It took me 18 months to conceive my daughter, but, using a chart, I got pregnant first time with my son! You take your temp each morning before getting up and you'll notice a dip and then a sharp rise as you ovulate. This helps if, like me, you have an irregular cycle. Other friends have gotten pregnant using this method so good luck!
I used ovulation testing kits to get pregnant with my second. They tell you just about exactly when you ovulate because your lutein hormone level rises just before you release an egg.
It took us just 3 months and am now currently waiting to pop!
Other than that, eat healthy, don't smoke (or drink too much) and have lots and lots of sex!
