Hi everyone. I was browsing this site as my husband and I plan to start trying soon and wanted to share something.
For all you iphone users there is a great app called iperiod by winkpass. It tracks your cycle, tells you the week you're most likely to concieve and lets you track other things. It has been right on as I have been tracking using the Shettles method. The "green days" fall right when Shettles says I can concieve.

Aunt flow came to visit today. I wish that annoying bitch would pack her bags and leave.

why? it is necessary part of the reproductive cycle so no period, no baby

Im pretty sure SilverOne means that when AF shows, obviously her tries for the month didn't work. Everytime AF arrives it is proof she isn't pregnant. I'm sure it was just a frustrated anger post. Most women understand that AF is a necessary evil.

I'm currently trying to get pregnant and I'm also tinkling on the ovulation strips.. According to a ovulation calendar online Nov.4th is the big day.. we'll see if the strips says the same thing...

Still trying....

Okay... so I'm 36 and 236 pounds. Not having much luck in the pregnancy department. Between losses and negative results over the last year, I'm nearly at my breaking point. My cycle's becoming irregular and I suffer from ovulational bleeding. I took a FirstResponse fertility test which says I'm good to go. And after tinkling on "fertility sticks" (ovulation testing kit) for two weeks now... I finally see the two lines. On with the fun stuff now. Let's see how it goes THIS time. And yes. I'm working on losing the weight too!

My fiancee and I have 4 boys, I had two and he had two when we got together. We really want to have 1 together. HOPEFULLY God will bless us with a Girl. Wish us luck. I am really going to try that fertility pill you guys were talking about. we have been trying about 6 months and no luck. I have tried the laying down thing. We do it... at night and then I stay laying down and dont move all night and we have done it every month on Ovulation days and still nothing!!!! Whats up with that. We are young and I am in ok shape. I am excercising and trying to eat better. Wish us luck!!!

Been off the pill and trying since December 2008. Whew what a roller coaster ride each month. Lots of stress in our lives though so we are thinking that's what may be holding us back. We're not going to worry until next year. If nothing happens by then we'll take the next steps :)

This month marks the 2nd year my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant. Any tips on staying optimistic?
By readytobeamom on August 12, 2009 at 03:48 AM
I am ready to start trying again.
By lenotre625 on February 17, 2009 at 11:57 AM
A friend of mine recommended this book that I am finding very helpful. She said it was recommended to her by her doctor and that it aided in her getting pregnant. She now has a little baby girl. The book can come with computer software which is also incredibly helpful. I just started reading it and am very optimistic.
By sixxygirl on February 22, 2009 at 01:31 PM
I ordered this exact book and received it on Thursday. I have only read the first 5 chapters and I already know more about my body than I had before! I hope this helps in our journey! good luck
By cstaiger on August 10, 2009 at 01:31 PM

We are trying to have a kid naturally. We've only attempted maybe 3 times. My OBGYN suggested having sex during ovulation period. So far, no luck. Any other suggestions?
By Anonymous on April 17, 2009 at 06:38 PM
Count your days and have sex on your ovulation days.
By melin37 on April 27, 2009 at 06:15 PM
My OBGYN put me and my husband on a calendar. She suggested every other day for the maximum amount of mature sperm and definitely during your ovulation period.

First, tried to get to an ideal healthy weight. Eat healthy and try to do some sort of exercise everyday (at least 5 day per week). From my own experience of being over weight for many years I could not get pregnant. I was at an all time weight gain of 346lbs. I lost 158lbs and was 188lbs when I got pregnant. It took some hard work but God did it. Currently, I'm at 254lbs and I'm trying very hard to lose 54lbs first before focusing add'l weight lose. I now want another baby but I got to get back to a healthy weight in order to make this happen. You can also go to www.babycenter.com and find an ovaluation calculator to let you know when you're ovulating
By jmbridenchrist on June 18, 2009 at 07:06 AM
well you could lay down for a few minutes after sex. WE have not tried this yet because my husband isnt too concerned but I heard that it gives the sperm a better chance, (instead of going straight to the bathroom and letting gravity take ahold. ) also what kinds of food are you eating. The way we eat determines the alkalyity of our girly parts. If it is too acidic it could be killing off the sperm before they can get a chance to get into the uterus, let alone the tubes! sorry so graphic. Good luck and God bless
