Trying to conceive

Birth-Peace · 10-08-2006, 19:04

Yes I know how the birds and the bees work...

But are there any tips on getting pregnant from you experienced lot?

please.

take multi vitamins for a while if you are having trouble.

Well, when I got pregnant I wasn't really trying to, but I had been on a super-healthy detox type diet for 2 months! I'm sure diet can help - there might be some info on the internet about this. I cut out sugar, wheat and alcohol and was eating plenty of fruit, vegetables, wholegrains and pulses. Who knows if that helped? ... but it's worth considering.

Sleep with as many people as you can

elevate your bottom afterwards so that gravity can help.

thanks - I wasnt sure if it sounded right so I'm glad you understood!

Several orgasms from the female after the male has ejaculated will assist in semen travelling towards the relevant areas.

^^^

When asked, 10 out of 10 women said they preferred that option.

Works for me every time, so I`m speaking from experience.

Jabberwocky is right.
It took us a while so I've got a few ideas. No orange juice for the lady, it affects the delicate acidity balance.
Cool undies for the gent, it keeps the swimmers happy.
Elevation afterwards is a definite and the lady having her fun AFTERWARDS makes a difference because the cervix kind of...erm.... hoovers up the stuff.
Keeping a date chart could help (but be careful it doesnt become a drag doing nice things just because the chart says so). 14 days after the first day of the period to 19 days after the last day is a vague guide, but you can be more exact if you know your cycle length.
Having fun at least alternate, if not every day during that time is advisable to keep the stores up.
I think that's all the crucial ones. Good luck

I think it's well worth remembering that you need to relax and continue to enjoy yourself...never forget the number of people who do all the 'right' stuff for years (diet, loose clothes, yogic positions, hormones, etc), decide it isn't going to happen, give up or adopt, stop trying so hard, and fall pregnant.

In other words, don't make it a military mission. It's normal for it to take months and months, apparently. But those months can seem to drag on and on forever, I know. Just get in bed and enjoy each other plenty!!! I'd definitely rate the multiple orgasm route!

i,ve been trying for three and half years and had all tests at hospital nothing wrong with either of us! its so hard to keep upbeat but i use the fetility strips to ensure i know when i am fertile. home bargains on the parkway are by far the cheapest place 6.99 for 5 tests (over 25.00 in boots) good luck to everyone in same position and fingers crossed

orgasm when he does,,, put a pillow under ur bum afterwards,,, ur most fertile (ovulating) when ur discharge goes clear,, thats the optimium time for fertilization,,, so keep an eye on ur next cycle wat days (it goes over about 3 in the middle of ur cycle) it happens,, and go at it like rabbits during that time and have a good 10mins laid down!!!!

then if u found that vulgar why bother reading a post about how best to create babies???

did u think it was gonna be " well if u wish hard enuf u will get one!!"

sorry to anyone if i have offended them to be honest i thought it was good advice,, and sorry if any kids come asking questions,, just lie to them like her mom and dad more then likely did and say the stork brings them good luck anyway ollie!!!!

I didn't think it was too personal; sounds like good, sensible, practical advice to me. There was nothing in there that I'd be upset for my nine year old daughter to read. Besides, my experience is that children are either utterly disinterested in sexual matters, or the opposite - if they are interested, tell them,in an age approprite fashion. Simple.
Anyways, back to the OP's question. The poster who commented (cosywolf) has a good point. I heard a radio programme recently which described how scientists had exposed one group of women undergoing IVF to a comedian after each treatment and compared them to another group without the laughs. The laugghing gils had a significantly higher arte of conception.
So, watch lots of good comedy. And elevate your behind after lovemaking!
