I got pregnant after 6 months. On the 7th month I started on the evening primrose oil and I got pregnant. Don't know if it was a coincidence. We also had sex every day for a week that month too.

I know quite a few people who have used preseed lubricant after ttc for a long time and it worked first or second month.

I would recommend opks. If you end up going to a doctor, that's one of the first things they'll ask about/want you to do, so that you can be sure of what's going on (i.e. you're not ovulating regularly, ovulating early, ovulating late, etc.).

We tried for 6 months with no luck, then I took a 6 month break to get healthy, and then we fell pregnant the very first month back trying. Here is what worked for me that month:

--prenatals
--evening primrose oil caplets pre-ovulation (the days from getting my period until I got a positive opk)
--opk
--preseed lubricant (sperm friendly lube, since regular lube can harm sperm)
--softcups, used right after sex right before, during, and after my ovulation time
--no ibuprofen use after my ovulation

Best of luck to you!!!

We were NTNP for barely a month and tadaa! We really weren't expecting anything to happen and weren't even really focusing on getting pregnant.. We never had any indication that anything was "wrong" with us before or anything either though.

We both were on the south beach diet.. So cut back on the bad carbs and alcohol and just eat loads of veggies, fish, meat etc. Making all meals from scratch at home and using organic products probably helps too.. Who knows what all those hormones and additives get up to!

I think like most people here that really cutting back on the alcohol, eating healthy, not being too stressed (about work or conceiving or whatever), sleeping well/regularly and being at least a bit active every day really helps.

Not sure if it helped or not but I cut out all caffeine and took folic acid the cycle we conceived.

thank you ladies.

somethings i cant use like preseed and softcups because even tho i am trying my fiances is not. he does not want to actively try and that would definitely turn him off. he told me that if it happens it happens and he would be happy...also i have been to the doctor and i ovulate fine and all of that and for the past like 6months i have been able to tell when i ovulate i started off using opks to help me out...

thanks ladies i started my plan today. and still waiting for AF she is due tomorrow but welcome to come today

DH and I tried for 6 months before seeing a dr for some testing. I didn't want to wait any longer than that because he and his ex tried for four years without any luck. The dr did my testing first and everything came back fine. A while later, DH went in and we found out he has low fluid volume but TONS of swimmers so it was just a matter of increasing the lubricant to help them on their way. I used Mucinex to thin my cervical mucous, we'd been using PreSeed but I used ConceivePlus one time that cycle right before ovulation, and we made sure DH loaded up on LOTS of water instead of caffeinated sodas. We also abstained from any sexual activity for three days between BDing to let more fluid build up. We got pregnant the first month (cycle 9) after discovering his low fluid volume issue.
