Hi there,
my husband and I have been trying for 4 months now, possibly going on 5 months. I've read so many articles, online info and logged onto chat lines, such as this one, to find out what is the best way possible to become pregnant (other than the obvious).
This month, i've been using the ovulation kit. This tells me when I have lh surges and when I will be ovulating and when is the best time to conceive. I am hoping that this month will be successful.
It may sound funny, but my husband and I are way into getting pregnant. I mean, two nights ago I was really tired, but it was that time of month to really try. So, even though i'm exhausted we're both into trying whatever and whenever it takes to get pregnant.
Often, I too would be depressed and saddened when my period arrives. But, with high hopes and faith, it'll happen soon.
Were you on the pill, and for how long? I just got off the pill in dec 2004 - and I heard it may take up to a year to get pregnant. If after a year you're not pregnant, then go see your physician. They'll maybe help you better determine when you are most fertile (and keep track of each period you have.)
hope this helps - and not to be selffish, but when speaking all of this, it kind of motivates me to have high hopes.
Good luck!
