Trying to hard?

[QueenofGreen]

I wanted to offer a big hug. I really know what yo are going through as it took that long to get pregnant with my daughter. She is happy and healthy but just didn't want to come for along time. It was very hard and sad at times and I spent way too much money on pregnancy tests. Good thing the dollar store tests are cheap and accurate. I did change my diet eventually and it didn't take that long to get pregnant with my son.

Thank you so much.. I really needed a big hug!!!

Rosered...I wasn't refering to what you wrote...really

So often women blame themselves and family blames the woman.
Just because the man has children from before doesn't mean anything in the now. It won't 'kill' him to also drink the infusions, he could be doing more than just donating his wigglers.

I've been trying to give him infusions at least a couple times a week, he's not big into it but if i put some mint in there he enjoys it lol

but when I went back and re-read it I couldn't tell the difference and I wrote it!

I do have a question tho. You said that you don't go to the doctor at all. Do you plan on going thru an entire pregnancy without going to the doctor as well?

I have midwives that I will be seeing but no, I will not go to a doctor at all.

a hug for you - I know what you are going through!
I have two thoughts to contribute
1. how is your weight - are you under/over weight? I've found that I only get pregnant if I'm over a certain weight (I'm normally a little underweight).
2. I think stress is really a key factor. We finally got pregnant the month I decided no more TTC - we were going to take take a break.

I second the weight thing. Not from personal experience, but I know a few women that couldn't get pregnant until their bodies were at a more ideal weight for them. More weight or less, it depends on your body.

Well I think my weight is okay at this point, I run a little underweight as well and I have been trying to put on a few pounds, do you find that you need to have more weight rather than less? I'm 5'8" and weigh 130 pounds, I think that's about right but I have had a lot of people tell me that I am underweight.
Thank you so much for the hug!! <3

Have you considered using fertility awareness to try and figure out if/when you're ovulating? You can still be having seemingly normal menstrual cycles, but not be ovulating OR you could be ovulating later/earlier than you think you are. The easiest way to tell if and when you are ovulating would be to track your basal body temperature (BBT). I've been using fertility awareness as a method of birth control for years now with zero pregnancy scares or problems. This method definitely helps people conceive, too, though. Basically, get a digital thermometer and every morning, take your temp at the same time right after waking up. I'm lucky because I wake up every single morning at 6 a.m. without any alarm. I take my temp, commit it to memory, and fall back asleep. You might do it differently. A quick search of the internet for "BBT" and "fertility awareness" will tell you all the info you need to know. I think this would definitely be helpful for you, but forgive me if it's something you've already tried it.

Thank you so much for the idea, I haven't tried it simply because I don't have a digital thermometer, but I think I will now . Thanks again!
