You could buy one of those maybe baby things that tell you when you're ovulating- you can buy them at the chemist.

And i forgot to mention that a couple of my friends told me (i tried it with my first) that if you stand on your head after sex then the sperm can travel more quickly to the egg. Probably another fluke that it worked for me. Just a bit of fun to try!!

I had no problem's falling pregnant with my first son it only took the first month of trying. We then fell pregnant 3 years later and had a miscarriage. Trying to get pregnant after the miscarriage was hard and 7 months later we were still not pregnant then a friend told me about these drops from the health food store. They are called Australian Bush Flower Essences - Womens Essence. You put drops under your tongue (they taste horrible) and they are meant to regulate all your hormones. I fell pregnant a month after using these. I don't know if it was a fluke but it my friend who told me fell pregnant easily using them and so did a friend of hers. Its worth a go its all natural ingredients so it won't hurt to try. Other than that you can just have fun keeping on trying. Goodluck I hope you have a baby soon!

I think the best and easiest things to do are keep a healthy weight, eat healthy and try to be as stress free as possible.

I found this conception checklist online you may like to have a look at!

Not an old wives tale as such, but for me my first took two years also, and in the end we "relaxed" about it, concentrated on lifestyle and health and it worked (finally) - but some of the things we did were to cut out chemicals - both environmental and dietary, (have a high protein, low GI diet with plenty of organic fresh ingredients, change your cleaning products, shampoos etc...), take herbal supplements (see a naturopath or borrow a good book from the library) and charting the time of the month.  I also had a friend recently who was told (by her dr) to go gluten free to assist in her fertility and it has worked for her.  Have you talked to your doctor or midwife at all?

You could always sneak out the window to meet your partner and drink a 6 pack of beer before accidently falling pregnant!! :P that was a  joke , maybe not in good taste oops. Honestly, I cant relate to having trouble falling pregnant because as a mother of 6 kids withing 8 years, obviously getting pregnant was never a problem for me. I have heard that its easier to fall pregnant the subsequent times even if you have had trouble the first time.. If i had a dollar for everytime that i heard someone say that they were trying and trying to fall pregnant and thought it was fruitless they must be infertile, then forgot about the challenge ahead and went on holidays or just put it off the list of things to do and then .. there it was!!. Or, you can go on the pill for a week and forget to take one...haha thats how i got pregnant at least once that way.. funnily enough i have actually heard that when you come off the pill initially that your fertility increases that month, which is why the instance of the pregnant coz i forgot a pill is soo common.. probably a wives tale but look into it maybe!! happy baby making to you and hope your husband  finds a positive preg test in the garbage soon xx :P

 Get to know your ovulation cycle. There is only a very small window of opportunity to get pregnant each month.  If you work out when this is, it will greatly increase your chances of getting preg.

I fell pregnant in the first month of trying each time we tried (3 times), using this method.

Have sex quite often when "down there" produces stretchy clear stuff. This sucks up the sperm easier and puts it where it needs to be. I also heard if your chances increase with a pretty decent "O" but I don't know if that's true or not.

Avoid caffiene, drink plenty of fluids, take some vitamin tablets. Make sure your not underweight. Oh and stop "trying". Most often its when we stop trying that we get pregnant. Eliminate as much stress from your life as you can. Most importantly have fun!!!!!!!! Make it about enjoying each other and not about getting pregnant. Hope this helps.

  we took 2 1/2 years to get pregnant the first time, but the next times were easier and much quicker..  Some say things like tilting your pelvis after the deed, loose breathable underwear for dad to be, eating healthy, no smoking or drinking, exercise, relaxation, go on holiday, things like that may help.  The best thing you can do is know your fertile times (I will add a link for advice).  Don't forget to start your folate/ multivitamins now.  good luck.
