I've had bad health on and off during my 12months which is now 17 months (but say 7 of tryin!) and we've been both been tested (including those fabulous internal ultrasounds) & there is no reason why we shouldn't be, so I started using OPK tests - I'm still not PG (well don't know for sure) but just knowing all i's are dotted, t's crossed will make you feel better. It's an emotional roller coaster but don't give up - get stroppy but never give up. Timing is everything so make sure hubby is at the ready when you get a positive OPk!

</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p> "Hey!!! Just alittle advise from someone who actively tired for 4 years:) For the first year I charted everything, looking back now it was probably the thing the drove me the craziest!!! If anything I would have got both mine and my partners fertility checked earlier, the longer you wait, the harder you try, the more painful and hard it gets!!! We started trying to conceive when we were both 25, and thought everything would run smoothly, we were both heathly, young, fit, so why was there a problem!! A couple of years later we found my partner had bad sperm:( And was told he was infertile, something we thought we would never hear:( After been put on the waiting list for IVF, our minds finally starting focusing on others things as we had a set date of when we were to be trying to conceive, funnily enough I fell pregnant a few months later, I always thought it was a load of s#@t, when people said "if you take your mind off it and focus on others things it will happen", proves it kind of works, After trying for 4 years and been told we have a high chance of never having children, I am now the happiest and proud mummy of a beautiful baby girl!! Hang in there sweets and dont let trying to conceive consume you!! My heart broke further and further every month, I lost alot of friends and family, because I couldnt deal with others having babies!! My advise is enjoy life!! Make the most of everyday, I have been where you are and its hard to think of anything else and believe me it was so worth the wait, but it is a painful journey when it just doesnt happen:( Seek medical advise early and stay positive, dont let it overwhelm you!!! Goodluck" </p> <p class="nM"> <a href="http://www.treasures.co.nz/Explore-your-stage/Story/?contentId=535837">Read all comments on this story</a> </p> </div> <div class="side"> <div id="ctl00_FullContent_Main_PageContent_ucArticleStoryList_lvArticlesStories_ctrl4_lvComment_ctrl0_ucAvatar_pnlContainer" class="profile type-medium"> <div id="ctl00_FullContent_Main_PageContent_ucArticleStoryList_lvArticlesStories_ctrl4_lvComment_ctrl0_ucAvatar_pnlContent" class="details stage-baby kids-1 location-new_zealand offline "> <a class="avatar"> <img id="ctl00_FullContent_Main_PageContent_ucArticleStoryList_lvArticlesStories_ctrl4_lvComment_ctrl0_ucAvatar_imgAvatar" src="/Global/02_New%20Zeeland/Images/avatar_woman.png" style="border-width:0px;" /> </a> <a id="ctl00_FullContent_Main_PageContent_ucArticleStoryList_lvArticlesStories_ctrl4_lvComment_ctrl0_ucAvatar_hlUserName" class="username" style="color: #333; font-size: 1.1em; text-decoration: none; cursor: text">bowzig</a> <span class="extra"></span> <ul> <li class="status">offline</li> <li>0 stories</li> <li>0 recommendation</li> </ul> <em></em> <dl> <dt class="stage">Stage:</dt> <dd>Baby</dd> <dt class="location">Location:</dt> <dd></dd> </dl> <span class="summary"><span>12-month-old Baby<br /></span> </span> <div class="gfx-b"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </li> <li class="border" style="width: 680px;"> <div class="content"> <a href="http://www.treasures.co.nz/Explore-your-stage/Story/?contentId=336007" class="story-title">2 m/c and 2 ectopics , no fallopian tubes and starting IVF .</a> <p> TTC for the last three years .Have had 4 pregnancy losses - 2 m/c and 2 ectopics , currently awaiting IVF treatment and nervous as hell.

And lo n behold - 2 girls. <br />When we tried for baby number 3 - firstly we were having a baby for the sake of adding to the family - otherwise the pressure would have been too great. But in saying that I set about finding ways that pointed towards a boy. <br />To cut a long story short - get the above mentioned book from the library as it has a whole raft of things you can do, including diet, etc, etc - but basically, you need to determine your ovulation date. To do this you can get one of those saliva testing kits, use a temperature chart or (sorry for the TMI) you can find out for yourself by feeling the position of your cervix and testing the 'feel' of your cervical mucus - it needs to be stretchy. Abstain from sex (or use condoms) prior to your ovulation date and only have unprotected sex on the actual day of ovulation and then abstain (or use condoms) after your day of ovulation. <br />I can recall time, date and place that DS was concieved. LOL <br />Good luck - here's to a happy healthy bub and a happy Mum n Dad! :o) <br /> " </p> <p class="nM"> <a href="http://www.treasures.co.nz/Explore-your-stage/Story/?contentId=253578">Read all
