Makin a baby.

[Gangrif]

Ok, so my wife and I have been married two years now. And we're starting to think about having a baby.

So, I'm wondering if anyone out there can give us some pointers on ways to increase the chances of pregnancy. I know from reading around here that there are plenty of knowledgeable people. Someone's gotta have some tricks and tips for us.

Thanks!

First your wife should figure out when she ovulates. Her cervical mucos being the consistency of an egg white is a good indication...makes for a nice slippery ride too Have sex every other day. Doggy Style is the best penetration for impregnanting, worked for me and a friend was told that by a fertility specialist.

Good luck and have fun makin' that baby!

She should not get up right away after intercourse - remain in bed for a while, elevate the hips with a pillow to keep semen from leaking out.

He should not wear tight fitting underwear that keeps the testicles trapped too close to the body. Too warm is not good for the sperm!

 

[Gangrif]

Thanks, great info so far!

Fun indeed.

Don't put too much pressure on yourselves to conceive. Relax and have fun.

Best wishes!

What he said! The best advice I can give you is DO NOT let it become sex with a goal. This can too fast destroy a couple's enjoymentof sex. Just let it go and have fun with it.

The simple fact is there is no silver bullet for getting pregnant. Positions, etc, don't neccesarily have a determining effect. The first thing you should do as was said above, is have your wife get one of those nifty thermometers and start charting her ovulation periods. That will tell you when she is MOST LIKELY to get pregnant. It doesn't mean that's the only time she'll get pregnant, but it is your best bet.

Speaking as a couple who is actively trying and dealing with fertility issues, don't get frustrated, just let it happen. And don't run for the pregnancy test everytime she gets sick in the morning. The more pressure you put on yourself, the harder it is to concieve. Stress will actually stop her from concieving!

Good Luck, and remember to have fun!

What he said. And give it time. You probably won't get pregnant the first cycle that you try.

Good luck!

Oh yeah. I have a couple of friends who tried to get pregnant for two years before they actually succeeded, and they had no fertility issues. It's tough, and they told me it was quite frustrating at times. The key is not to get too frustrated.

I've heard that it typically takes a couple with no fertility problems about six months or so to conceive.

Hbo

My wife and I watched a sex show on HBO where hookers were showing guys at a brothel how to stimulate the G-spot. We retired to the bedroom to try it ourselves, and she came out of the exercise pregnant.

I think I heard somewhere that pregnancy chances increase when the woman has an orgasm. This might be an urban legend, but still a worthwhile goal.

And, obviously, HBO helps.

 

[sun_shyne]

The best advice i have heard so far and it seems to help, is don't try. I know people that have tried for years and nothing happened, the moment they stopped trying, they were pregnant. I have 2 kids from not trying as well. just relax and have fun.

 

[Socal22]

Its amazing how easy it is to get her pregnant when your not ready or intending to but when you are trying it takes so much longer, god has a funny sense of humor

You need this book: Taking Charge of Your Fertility. . .you can find it on Amazon.com or most large bookstores.

It's great and tells you every little thing you need to know to get pg in no time!

And DO have fun . . .sex can be even more sacred and special when you are trying to create a new life . ..or it can get sad and desperate if you both let it get that way and things take longer than you want them to.

or it can get sad and desperate if you both let it get that way and things take longer than you want them to.

This is what happened with my husband and his ex. Both of them have had medically documented fertility issues (his was corrected by surgery); they tried for six years to have a baby, the first two of which were without medical intervention. His ex used his low sperm count as her "excuse" to cheat--it was his fault that she couldn't have a baby.

After spending most of her 20's trying to get pregnant, my husband's ex finally found success--at age 35--after she'd given up trying.

1) Have sex without contraceptives, like the good Lord intended it.
2) No coitus interruptus. (That sounds like the Latin name of the Roadrunner. . . remember, Looney Tunes?)
3) After you jizz in her cum-pit, have her do a headstand for 3 hours so all your seed makes it way deep inside of her.

If these fail, let me know, and I dispatch my "boys" for you. Just kidding.

I've heard that it does not help for the male to come often and if fact sort of "waters down" the potency of the sperm. So you might wanna lay off the "self love" for a while. I have also heard that the optimal sperm swim is coming inside her about once every three days and at no other time. Me, I'd hate to wait three days but that is what I've heard.

I thought it would take a while to get pregnant both times I tried. Both times I got pregnant immediately. I was convinced the first time I was imagining things. I nearly got through the whole first trimester before it dawned on me, my breasts are really painfully tender and my last period, I can't remember, oh shit! I am not imagining this!

Both times I deliberately lay still for at least thirty minutes afterwards to give the sperm the best "fighting chance." I also had sex in the missionary position to supposedly increase the chances of a boy. I was eventually grateful to have a girl the first time and a boy the second.

He he!

Life can be funny.

It has something to do with thinning the cervical mucus, I think.

 

[TBKahuna123]

I was also told not to try too much. Our fertility specialist suggested every other day because frequent ejaculation, while it may increase the output of seminal fluids, reduces the sperm count in each ejaculation. It's one of those strange oxymorons of biology: More fluid, less potency.

There's a site called CyclesPage that's good for tracking one's menstrual cycle.

Make sure she is getting enough folic acid in her diet.

A lot of the birth defects it can prevent have already occured by the time one realizes they are pregnant.
