i was just after a little advice as we have been ttc for 14 months now with no luck yet,i had a little chat with my doctor back in FEB who said she recommended i stop ttc and lose weight,i am over weight by about 3 stone,and that they wouldnt start any tests until we had been ttc for 1 year,so far i havnt been able to lose weight through no fault of my own but we have kept on ttc and i am now on month 3 of the clearblue fertility monitor and know im ovulating.
i have decided that i will seek doctors help if by the new year we havnt got pregnant as i just cant bring myself to go back but might ask my husband to go and get tested before hand,were 26 and 28 and already have a little boy who is 26 months.
i was just wondering if there was anything else apart from the obvious that we could try to help improve our chances of getting pregnant
thanks again Lisa

I have been off the pill since January. My cycles have been 39, 31, 37, 37, 31 and 37 days long. I am 30 my husband is 34 and I'd say we are an average couple with regards fitness and diet. We are both taking a vitamin supplement.
We have had a past pregnancy although that was 7 years ago and only atarted trying again in January.I have used opk's and invested in a Clear Blue fertiltiy monitor and both have shown I have ovulated each cycle.
Have you got any tips for us?
Thanks

my hubby has recently been diagnosed with very low iron,we think its been going on since january this year as he has no interest in making love...not great while you are trying for a baby!!
he has been prescribed ferrous fumerate 420mg a day...........he should start to feel better in a few weeks,but will low iron affect his sperm?
thanks veery much.

Thanks for giving us this opportunity. I just wondered if you could offer some advice. I'm 30 and hubby is 35 and we've been TTC No 1 for 2 yrs. After 13 months we got a BFP but m/c naturally at 7wks, and after IVF recently, we got a BFP but there was no heartbeat at 7/8 wks and I m/c naturally at 11+1.
All my tests have shown that I ovulate, and an HSG was normal, as was TV USS. My cycles are pretty regular at 26-29 days. Hubby has done several samples which have varied quite dramatically. The week we conceived naturally, his sample was almost incompatible with spontaneous conception, and the IVF one was virtually normal. Nothing in our lifestyles has changed in that time to justify such a difference.
We are both pretty healthy-eat well, exercise, don't smoke and don't drink to excess. I have managed to get an appointment at a recurrent m/c clinic to look into this aspect. Otherwise, we are both at a loss as to where to go now.
Just wondered if you had any advice for us. Many thanks in advance.

I'm 23 and my husband is 29, we are both non smokers with healthy BMI's of 23.
I am taking both folic acid and vitamin B complex, last month we started using preseed.
We are 'baby dancing' pretty much solidly for 2 weeks around ovulation.
I came off the Pill after 8 years in April and have since have 3 regular cycles of 30 days, however my last cycle was 37 days. Do you think this is due to my body still getting back to normal or just a blip in the month?
Thanks

I am 30 and my hubby is 32 We have been ttc our first baby for 14 months now. Unfortunately I have miscarried twice is this time one at 13 weeks and another at 7 weeks. I am currently taking a preconception multi vitamin, am a non smoker and drinker, Is there anything you suggest that may help us have a successful pregnancy....many thanks
Thank you for answering our questions.
My Husband and I have been trying for a first child with no success so far, I am just entering my 17th cycle.
All of my tests have come back ok, my husband's Morphology is low at 2%... full report below.
DH= Volume: 1ml
>2ml
DH= Count: 48 Million/ml
>20 Million/ml
Viscosity: Normal
DH= Motility: 60%
>50 %
Progression: Moderate
> 25% moving in a forward direction
MAR antibody test: 10% Spermatozoa covered with latez particles
> 10% normal
DH= Morphology: 2% normal forms
>15% normal forms
I've had very little advice as to what our chances are with this standard of sperm. We're both 28 and are due to go back to the hospital in December, in the meantime I'm using a Clearblue Fertility Monitor and doing my best to catch ovulation but I've no idea if it's all in vain and am finding the process at times very emotional and difficult.
My hubby gave up drinking 4 weeks ago and will ask him to re-test in a couple of months to see if thats helped.
Any other ideas or advice you can offer?
Regards~ OP.
