Hi this is my first time on the forum. I am 26 from the north east. I have two daughters age 4 & 2 but would like one more baby. My 4 year old keeps asking for a brother. In my past pregnancy I fell pregnant the first month we tried but I have been trying 6 months so far. Each month I feel sick before I am due on but that must be just wishful thinking. I tried all sorts of ideas I heard about eg taking cough medicine,lying on a pillow with bum in air after sex. I am really confused why it not happening this time since I had no problems in the past. Any one else out there who has kids already but is trying again but having problems concieving?

Welcome to the forum Claire :)

Unfortunately I don't have any kids (yet), been actively trying since a miscarriage at 12 weeks in August. Right now i'm taking folic acid supplements, and my partner is taking Zinc and Vitamin C supplements to help his little swimmers along! I suppose you could try those if you aren't/haven't already. I haven't heard of the cough medicine idea, wondering how long it'll be til I give that a go hehe.

Judging how quicky you fell with your last 2, I can't see why you'd have a long wait so good luck and keep us updated!

Hi Trisha

Thanks for the reply. I am taking folic acid also but I get the stronger dose of the Doc because of my family history. I will have get him some Zinc & vitamin c supplements-who told you about them & how does it help. I need take my cough medicine this week as you take it when you ovulate for a week. I didn`t believe it when I saw that someone had wrote in asking if cough medicine could help but I give anything a try. I buy kids Trylix but I don`t like the taste. look on the following site
www.babycentre.co.uk
go into "getting pregnant" section then on left side click on "ask our experts" there is a list of questions people write in & experts reply.
Sorry to hear about your miscarriage.
Good luck & keep in touch.

Hi Claire and Trisha

Sound advice from Trisha, my partner is also taking zinc and vit c tablets to help assist in our plight of conceiving. (only been taking them for 2 months of the 3 month we have been trying) apparently I read about a man who took the supplements regularly for four months and then his wife fell pregnant! So it can only be a good thing.
love and luck to you xx

Well he says he is taking them but I think he forgets. I should really give him the vit c when I take my folic acid.
I just had an abnormal smear result & I have had mixed views as to if I should keep trying to get preg. I spoke to the Dr & he said it ok. They won`t do another test till May & I don`t really want put of trying.

hi all! im new at this and dont know anything about what can help. the only advice iv had from a friend was to put a pillow under my bum or do a handstand against the wall!!! were could i get the folic acid an zinc supplements from? claire i had an abnormal smear 2 years ago and im still getting the 6 month check-ups now. my doctor said that it cant effect me from concieving but the thought has always been at the back of mind nibbling away! weve only been tryin for two and a half months but were both very impatient and could really use any advice we can get!!

i now u have to children already,do u think ur thinking about it to much every month the stress dosent help.

i now for my first son it took us well over 18 months for him. and every month i wasnt pregnant i would be really upset.

hi there im totally new to this but ive been trying for a baby for about 6 months now an i already have 3 children so this will be baby no 4. it feels like ive been trying for ages an nothing is working. last month i was 11 days late on my period so i thought i was def pregs as im not normally late but came on since then though ive been getting stomach cramps an headaches an keep thinking am i or arnt i? weve been trying more again this month an just having to wait now to see if period turns up.....

i think its not happening cause i keep thinking of it 24/7 i think we need to try an forget about it an then it will hopefully happen!!!!! easier said than done though..

Try an have sex on your 14th day but i just read somewhere from day 9 onwards an try to do it at different times of the day...

good luck everybody TASHAX

hi all. well i can see it has been a while since anyone has been on here so i thought i would re invent this page!! i am natalie and i have been trying for 13 month now with no success. went to docs this week and have been refered for tests so am excited that things will begin to move forward. i do have a little girl already who i conceived by accident. but that was really exciting and i never looked back.

just wondering if anyone who wrote on here last time has had any luck or if there is anyone still ttc? and i also hope that some neww peeps will join me. good luck all and keep me posted xxx
