We have been trying to get pregnant for over a year now. But we were under a lot of stress due to job & money. He smokes, but has been trying to slow down. I do not smoke, anything i can do?
Hi there! Sometimes it is as simple as he may have slow sperm, or low sperm count (both totally normal, and more common than not) and there are things you can do to help increase your chances of getting pregnant! These are some of the pointers we got from our doctors when we were trying to get pregnant (I know there’s a lot, but I just couldn’t leave anything out, you never know what will work for who!!!);
For him – make sure he wears lose fitting underwear like boxers, this helps keep him cooler down there. Make sure if he has a sitting job, that he gets up and gets his circulation moving ever 2 hours or so for about 10 minutes (my husband has a computer job so he sits a lot while at work, and has an hour commute both ways to and from work), tell him to avoid hot baths, showers, hot tubs or saunas-this causes the sperm count to go down. Something that isn’t proven but is said to help is before having sex have him drink a cup of coffee or something high in caffiene (said to help if he has slower swimmers). When having sex, do it with him on top and with a pillow under your butt. This helps the sperm travel more quickly to where it needs to be, also after sex, stay on your back for around 20 minutes slow swimmers take longer to reach their destination!
For you don’t drink caffiene (they say it somehow can affect you getting prego), eat a lot of dark green vegitables, and don’t stress, if you are worried about it or stressed at all, a lot of times your body senses that and you will not be able to get pregnant. It is supposed to be a fun time in your life, enjoy sex and have fun! That is the most important thing!
We started having sex every other day of the month (or so) I ended up getting pregnant like 5 days before my period so I have a really weird ovulation schedule, something else you can do is buy those ovulation strips you pee on and find out when you are ovulating-this is especially a good idea if your periods are irregular because you will ovulate at different times of the month. Still best to have sex every other day because this helps his sperm count rise, start a few days before you are supposed to ovulate because his sperm can stay in your system for 5-7 days. Hopefully this will help you guys out… Don’t give up! Good luck my prayers are with you!!!!

eat a yam every day- seriously! contain natural estrogen and stimulate production of more eggs. Just hope you don’t end up with twins!
Give it some more time me and hubby have been ttc for a year in a half and nothing yet i am currently on clomid so lets just have fait. Hopefully it will happen soon. Good luck.
Keep trying. You might want to think about getting checked out by a doctor because most couples without fertility issues will get pregnant within a year of trying.
honestly, go to see a doctor because they can tell u when u are most "fertile" and those days are your best days to try to become pregnant. good luck!
I dunno abt the smoking part, but my hubby and I were trying for 4.5 yrs!!! I had seen several Ob/Gyns and they were saying I may have to get an InVitro or adopt bcos my ovaries were tiny (PCOS) when they did an ultrasound inside of me and I also was bleeding non-stop.
In June this year, I said heck it with all the Doctors, prayed and left it to God, went onto birth control pills to regulate my bleeding and stopped "trying" and just enjoyed making love.
We got really into it and I we started using a pillow to prop me up doing missionary position. Stayed in that position after for about 5mins before showering to help with gravity
Also I stopped Skim milk and switched to Whole milk as I was told the Whole milk would help.
I am now 8 weeks pregnant! Totally shocked and totally thrilled!!! I hope this helps.
