We have been trying to conceive now for only 2 months but we were just wondering other than the obvious is there anything else we can be doing to increase our chances of conception

Dear Carol,
My husband has had TWO vasectomy reversals because the first one failed and now with healthy sperm we are trying to concieve. My periods are only three and a half weeks apart and I'm wondering if this is affecting my ability to concieve. We've been trying for almost 6 months.We're using an ovulation kit and I've been taking 150 to 200 mgs. of B-6 daily along with (ha ha) a chopped garlic clove.
Help! Sincerely. Ruthie

I was previously on the pill for 7 years, have been off for 9 months now, am 27, and trying to conceive. Is there a concern of how long I was on the pill as to why I'm not pregnant yet.

I have a 10 yr old boy from a previous relationship and 2yr old boy from my current marriage. With my first son I was not on birth control...so he was a surprise. My second son I had been on the pill for, (at that time 8 yrs) I stopped taking the pill and within 3 months I was pregnant. My question is, now we are thinking about having a 3rd baby. My husband wants a girl. Is there a fail- safe way we can try for one?

hi, i'm 25 and have 3 beautiful little girls 5,3 and 7months, i'm desperate for a little boy but seem destined for all girls. I would love to try for a 4th child and although another girl would not be a problem as long as its healthy i'm worried i might not be able to stop until i get a boy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[Denise]

I have 3 kids and would like to have at least one more. I had a C section 3 years ago. What are the ODDs of having your uterus open where the surgery was or what ever after a C-Section. Is there any food or natural something that can help conceive at all?

[Megan]

Hi,
I have been trying to concieve for over 9 months now and no luck at all. I really need some advice..i was told by the doctors a few years ago that i may not be able to have children when im "older" for some reason? Im not too sure why she said it but anyways..my periods used to be like 60 days or so apart...they were coming like once every two months...they were way outta wack..then they started coming more regularly like about every 35 days and then every now and then i would late..one time i was 20 days late, i went and got a blood test and nothing..i was not pregnant..so please help..tell me something i could possibly do to help my chances of concieving before this year is over...
thanks,
Megan

I am 26 years old and married for 4 years now. I have been trying to get pregnant for 9 months with no success. I have tried everything I know-Robitussin, Sprouts, Preseed, laying still for 30 minutes, charting, ovulation kits, etc. with no luck. I have determined that my periods are fairly regular and I ovulate around the same time every month. In the past I have had problems with Lucaria, and fibroids but they dissolved themselves over time. I think the major problem is that my cervical fluid never gets to the consistency its suppossed to-too watery or too opaque.Please help. I am willing to try just about anything.

[Libby]

HI Carol. My name is Libby. I was an Depo-Provera for almost 9 years. I did not have periods at all during this time. My last shot was June 2006. In August of 2006, instead of getting another shot I started Ortho-Tricyclen. I did good with this. The first month on it, I had about a 3 day period. Every month after that I had a normal cycle. I stopped taking those birth control pills in April 2007 hoping to get pregnant soon after. I went about a month without a period, then had one for about 3 weeks. Stopped for a couple weeks, had a period for 2 weeks.

As I was just starting to get close to a normal cycle, I found out I had a cyst the size of a softball in my R ovary. My Dr gave me Progesterone for 10 days to help shrink the cyst (I did get a 5-6 day period after stopping Progesterone). I went in for an u/s to find out that the R cyst was shrinking, but I had one in my L getting bigger. The Dr could not explain this. I was told to come back in 2 weeks to see if the cysts were shrinking on their own. The u/s showed they were. I am now currently testing daily to see if I ovulate. I am to do this for 2 cycles. If I do not ovulate, I am to go back into the Dr because I more than likely still have cysts. I hope and pray I do ovulate, but if I don't, I want to be educated and prepared for the next step.

The Dr told me Clomid could cause cysts and because I am already getting them, that would not be a good option for me. Part of me wants to have surgery to clean out the ovaries and start fresh....but how do I know that when I go to ovulate, it won't turn into a cyst? I know that cysts are caused by unbalanced hormones, so what do you suggest?

Do I wait it out? (I am fully aware that being on Depo for so long is most likely the reason I am having this problem. If I only knew what I know now, a few years ago :( ) Do I get blood work to see what hormones are unbalanced?

Thanks you so much for your time. I try to research as much as I can, but really could use a little input.

Libby

Hello,
My wife and I have been trying to conceive for some time now. She has some
issues including a cyst which after review should not be hindering her from conceiving.
Nonetheless we have been unable and she is currently taking Clomid. This
will be our 4th month trying on the Clomid and wanted to see if there is anything that may increase our chances. Please advise. THANKS!!!
