TTC # 1 and need some pointers

[sammy197912]

My DH and I have been TTC for over 8 months. I purchased the clear blue easy fertility monitor and have used this for one cycle. The monitor showed high days than 2 peak days and one additional high day before going back to low. We BD everyday on high and peak days but no positive pregnancy test. According to the monitor I am ovulating. I can't figure out why I am not falling pregnant. I am overweight however I do have regular periods and believe I ovulate. I was thinking maybe I should go on a low carb diet. I just need some pointers from those who were overweight and had success TTC and what they did to see a postive result. Thank you
