Tips, tricks and advice needed here!

I've been trying to conceive with ovulation drugs (Clomid) since Dec 2010 (I have polycystic ovarian syndrome - PCOS).

Yo. My wife has polycystic ovarian syndrome and had some cysts removed when she was 18 or 19 and wasn't sure if she could have babies. Then a while before we had she had an ectopic pregnancy. Just one day she woke up in extreme pain and couldn't even get out of bed, and yeah she had had an ectopic pregnancy. Wearied for ages before we had zara, like over a year. Then tried for even longer before we had Stella. But yeah, all I can say is keep plugging away.

I don't know what your stance is with religion but it couldn't hurt to say a few prayers. I'll be sure to say some for you two. Best of luck to you sus...

Ziggy is living in sin and gonna have a child out of wedlock. She probably won't even have it christened or baptised or something. And she cusses a lot.

Having children out of wedlock....I am a bad BAD human being. :twisted:

Has your boyfriend had his sperm checked? Could be that he isn't producing enough healthy sperm.

well I guess I can only give the usual advice: lots of sex isn't always the answer. Don't let your boyfriend have any sex for the 2 or 3 weeks leading up to your ovulation and that includes no wanking, then go at it like bunnies starting a few days before you fertile. Enjoy and best of luck.

What he said, it can take a week fully build up healthy sperm, so if you are ejaculating every day you start shooting out slower weaker sperm that probably make it in the vag and can't be arsed swimming the rest of the way to an egg.

And no alcohol for either of you as well. There is food out there to help produce sperm and lady bits too but I don't know what so do some work yourself and look them up. But I guess you are doing all that shit already if you are one the ovulation drugs and stuff.

Give it some time off... let him build up some eager swimmers. Plus some time without might give you guys a fresh start to go back at it, and yeah cut the alcohol for both of you if you haven't yet.

I always thought working hard to get your woman pregnant would be fun... lots of sex... but the fun wears off after a while and starts feeling like it's a job to do.

And stress can't help. My wife has had 2 ectopics, and she's a bit of a hypochondriac as it is, so after some months of failure in trying for our second kid, she was convinced we'd have to go for fertility treatments. She spent so much time researching stuff and worry about it, and we fought some because I wasn't as worried as she was. We actually stopped trying for a while and she relaxed a bit and it worked.

haha Several people on the pit have called my future baby "Ziglet". I think it might stick.

well
they spelled it wrong
maybe

ps
and i've heard that an orgasm will help with labor
so maybe yours should happen before the swimmers go in so as not to push them away

Nothingman54 says after you have sex, you should bounce on a trampoline and post it to youtube.

Years ago good friends tried this route, so much stress it broke the marriage.

They both remarried and had kids with their new mates, no worries.

I have faith in one's path and following one's heart,
that is all.

Good luck Miss Ziggy you will be an awesome Mama.

good luck to you. After conceiving 3 times without even trying, I have no advice for you.
