Anyone pregnant naturally after TTC 18 months or more??

[padbrat]

Funnily enough, I feel pregnant after starting my husband's (he is a PTI) (OMG) fitness regime... maybe there is something in the fitness thing???

well we were ttc for 6 months (or maybe more, maybe even it was a full year, it was kind of on and off and i didn't count months) and i fell pregnant as soon as i started to workout regularly (after a month of fitness). just a suggestion!

What kind of work out plan did you do? I started about 8 weeks ago-doing all different kinds of cardio and weight lifting. But I have taken about two weeks off as I felt crap when I got last AF and then have had a hard time getting back.

Pilates! i honestly felt my body waking up! i highly suggest you trying it out because i'm sure it did play an important role in me getting pregnant.

OOH I love pilates but haven't done it in probably a year-will definitely have to go back!

Both my hubby and me have a child from previous relationships, but nothing happened for us together. We were investigated and although there was nothing wrong with either of us, I was basically hostile to him and killing off all the sperm.

7 years later, we are 8 weeks pregnant. We did try for a couple of years but then sort of got used to the idea it wasn't meant to be and didn't think about it too much, but it was still a surprise when I got the BFP!

Hi Titi,

We were trying over 2 years (me 37 and DH 38) and didnt think it would take that long!!!! I had some blood tests to show I was Ov but other to that no tests (we were due to get SA for DH - then I would have been refered).

I am now just over 6 weeks pregnant - and what we did differently this month is as follows:

DH had a handful of pumpkin seeds every day (helps with motility apparently?)
We BD every morning (usually only in evenings) for 4 days in a row - day before peak on CBFM, 2 peak days and the day after, then missed a day then one last day (similar to SMEP) - stayed in bed for at least an hour before visiting the loo
Used preseed every time and tried to eat a little more healthily!!!
Tried to be more chilled at work and at home


.....and here we are .... might have just been our turn, or it might be something to the change of 'habits' above

This thread has been so helpful to me-just bumping it up! thanks!

We'd been trying for twelve years, including IVF about 8 years ago and never even had as much as 1 bfp. We had just decided to commit to one more ivf cycle before calling it a day and dealing with it never happening, made the appointments, went to see the Drs, got the meds on prescription. We were just waiting for my cycle to start so we could go through with our one last chance when I went to my gp for something I thought was unrelated (viral throat infection) when she mentioned the bloods I'd had done a few weeks before (7dpo progesterone) came back high and I might want to do a test. So I did and finally got the positive we'd been waiting for so long. Now I have a desk drawer full of fertility meds waiting to be used for nothing LOL

Wow Imalia-that is amazing! I wonder if anything was different? Congratulations! You must be over the moon!

It took us 5 years to concieve our 3rd child. Was told i had PCOS 2 years after my second son. We had come to the conclusion that we were done then out of nowhere i found myself pregnant and since then have had no problem. NEVER give up hope (((HUGS))))

 

[Annabobble]

Took us 2 and a half years.....I was almost giving up although I'm being really careful as I had a misscarriage just before I fell preg.

We tried for 24 months with no success at all. I was on clomid for two month when we got a bfp. I am 8 weeks pregnant now xx

 

[Titi]

Aww crazyguider thank you so much for the reply! what dosage clomid did you take? Had you had any tests done prior to that?

 

[QueenieMurphy]

Hi there - my OH and I are similar age to you. We were trying for about 18 months and due to start IVF the next month when I got my first ever bfp.

That cycle for the first time I was taking evening primrose oil up to ov and OH was taking maca and wellman. Also we used conceive plus for the first time and after sex I stayed lying down for 30 mins with my bottom on a cushion.

Good Luck hun - push for every test you can and if theres nothing wrong with either of you I'm sure it will happen

Oh the other things I did that cycle for the first time were acupuncture and reflexology!!!

I know how stressful it is but you will get your bean and a friend said to me - it makes you appreciate it all the more when it happens.

Hi we were ttc for way longer than 18 months and were due for an appt with infertility clinic on the 8th July and I had to cancel as we got our BFP!! wasnt quite natural, took soy for one cycle but hey!! Good luck! x

 

[Titi]

Thanks for all the inspiration! donna c-is the ONLY thing you did different after all that time is take soy? How much/how often? I started soy last cycle, 2-7, 120mg....nothing and tried this cycle too 307, 200mg. we'll see!

Congrats on all your bfps! so happy for you all!

 

[crazyguider]

Hi I was on 50mg clomid days 2-7
we had had sperm tests, and I had a test where they use ink on your Fallopian tubes for a scan and that was normal. It all seems that the clomid got things shifting

 

[Titi]

oooh thanks!
