Concieveing

[blondebimbo1]

Anyone got any ideas of anything which can help with concieving naturally? I have been off the pill for about 18months and still no luck,is this normal?
Any ideas appreciated thanks

it can be prefectly normal to wait such a time, especially if youve been on the pill for a long time.

How about finding out your ovulation date using temp charts or even testing kits? when charting temps its possible to find out when youre most fertile.

Then have sex every day or every other day around that time. Too much sex can lower the amount of sperm being released.

Your pill you were on can effect, I was on cerasette, which is similar to injection pill and comes out of your system gradually. It took me longer after this pill to concieve.

I think if you are worried, you could seek advice as stress can prolong things too! Other than that, just keep a diary of when you ovulate and mentrate so that you get to know your pattern of when to be trying!

Good luck chick x x x

don't pee after D.T.D, put a pillow under your bum to help the little fellows swim the right way. And of course lots and lots of trying around 2 weeks before your period is due. But mainly try not to think about it and relax.

Definitely relax. Look for changes in your, erm, personal areas about 12-14 days after the start of your previous period - some women can tell when they're "ready" as things become more receptive down there. As other posts have said, have sex frequently around that time. Don't rush off to the loo afterwards ..... good luck!
The irony is, the more you worry, it seems the less likely things are to happen.

You've got to be doing it several times a week, all month long! According to Prof Winston you can ovulate at any time, not just middle of cycle. Stay in bed after the deed to maximise chances. It's all so (un) romantic and so un-Hollywood. Good luck!

Agree with all answers here (although I am not a parent!). It will have taken a while for your body to stabilize itself after being on the pill.
But the main advice is: keep trying, and have fun while doing so! I'm a firm believer of the effects your mind has on your body, so if you enjoy it, do it often, don't worry about it, it will happen! :O)
