[snagged]

Sex is always a good place to start ;o)

Cut back on all drinks containing caffeine,all alcoholic drinks and if either of you smoke,stop now.All of these things have been linked with trouble conceiving.
Have lots of sex and don't get up immediately afterwards to go toilet (unless you're peeing yourself).

thanks will cut out the tea. dont do alcohol anymore

3am sex!!! then dont move, just fall asleep and let nature do its thing.

3am sex is now banned in our house!

oh and work out when youre ovulating and do the deed every 2 days for the few days either side.

tip; when ovulating, discharge is thicker a bit like egg white

Hi I'm trying too! Mine is for a 2nd though and like you it has been a few months with nothing so far! I always make sure I'm layed on my back when hubby 'comes' and lift up my bum to help with gravitiy and stay like that for around 5 mins!! It seems to do the trick because nothing ever drips out anymore but sadly has not yet made me pregnant.
I also used the ovulation sticks for a while but they do make you all the more obsessed and haven't picked up the exact time when I'm ovulating yet. There are quite a few websites that give you further info on this too which I find myself looking at. Good luck hope it happens soon for us both!

[caggy]

fingers crossed for both of us. will also try the pillow thing

[hol5]

instead of the pillow, i was told to put my legs up against the wall 'afterwards'! worked 4 times for me!!
Good luck!

That reminds me of the old joke about the 3 pregnant women in the doctors waiting room.

The first says " I know that I am having a boy, becasue my husband was on top when we conceived"

The second says " I know that I am having a girl because I was on top when we conceived"

The third woman bursts into tears.

concerned, the other two ask what is wrong.

The third woman says "I think that I am having puppies"

Anyhoo - back to the topic - very good advice from all, main thing is though to try not to get stressed and enjoy trying.

Its all in the egg whites - red is spot on there!! That tells you exactly when you are ovulating and it is this consistency that is meant to carry the sperm in the right direction!! And a lot of relaxation, and to not become obsessed with it all, which is actually what most of us do - daily pregnancy tests etc I bought mine online, was much cheaper!!!!! www.accessdiagnostics.co.uk
Zita West UK leading fertility expert recommends no caffeine and lots of water - both of you!!
Good luck and enjoy!!!! ;0)
