how long have you been together?
do you both work?
do you own your own home?
I got some from http://www.accessdiagnostics.co.uk/ and theres a discount code as well you can use.
A few things which will make a difference is stress and diet.
Apparantly, I read somewhere that alot of people find they get pregnant after a sunday roast because of the variety of minerals etc.
Also after having sex try to elevate your pelvis to give the little guys abit more time to do their business.
Yay, good idea, then we can sidetrack, judge, and turn into a debate :thumb:
i guess thats not what she was after, and tbh it was only a enquisitive question. if people want kids so be it, im just interested to know what sort of people are having kids these days.
sidetracking and debating i like! judging depends on the answers!
All sorts of people are having kids. Even people in rented accomodation!
besides if i'm going to have kids i have to have them before i'm 32 because my family has a very short biological clock...
Well for your interest we have been together 3years now, both have proffesional jobs and yes we have our own home and looking that we both have familys who have supported us with having a comfortable lifestyle x
haha :thumb:
no need for a reality check, thats why i said its a bit different up here, i understand houses cost more in other parts of the country, but also wages are a lot higher on average, and a lot of people do buy property before they are 45.
you seem to be doing very well for yourself, i wish you all the best with having your children and hope you can provide for them like you say you have been treated. :thumb:
i know you're being a bit sarcastic with that but i fail to see the benefit of recommending unemployed, young, unsettled people advice on how to improve chances of getting pregnant. Of course anyone who wants to should be allowed to have a baby if they want, but my personal view is that its not a good idea. Of course any sort of stature doesnt instantly equal good parenting skills at all, but surely financial security does play a part when looking after a child. Figures on looking after a child do seem a little blown out of proportion to me but someone who doesnt have much disposable income to begin with is gonna feel the strain when taking on a child?
I dont see the relevance of both doing paid work or owning your own home in anything other than your own personal decision.
Much the same if you ask me.
I agree with Janjan charting really helps (even if you're not trying to get pregnant), it helped me monitor whether my periods were getting back to normal and once everything was on track it told me the exact days i should be ovulating. I used, www.yourdays.com
I also used ovulating kits to fine tune things a bit more (this helps you determine how long your luteal phase is) and also helps you find out whether or not you are actually ovulating (which initially i wasn't).
When the natural methods didnt work i needed to take some pills to help me ovulate, that worked but i still wasnt getting pregnant. In the end the only thing that did work (after having an operation) was doggy style. And then i lowered my head, chest and arms onto the bed and kept my bum in the air for 20mins. I am now 25weeks pregnant
So if you are worried go speak to your gp or if you can a gyny and they should try to help you out if something sounds odd. Also feel free to PM me if you have any worries or anything.
Good Luck
to the op it can take a long while for your insides to go back to normal after being on the pill they generally say its about 18 months but if youre worried you should definatly go see a doctor
