Lots of amazing support on a group that my friend and I run Mummies Support Group .

Don’t put too much pressure on yourselves, it can take a long time so best way is to keep trying but not stress about it. It will happen when it’s the right time x

Dont force it. As soon as we stopped trying i got pregnant. X

Have sex just for the fun of it and it’ll happen. Don’t force. Maybe do it second day.

You only ovulate for like 2 - 3 days a month so try finding those days having sex any other time won’t work and 5 - 6 times that’s insane when I’ve been ttc I’ve had sex once when ovulating :joy:

Definitely use ovulation tests

5 to 6 times a day?! That’s a madness. Wait till you’re ovulating and let it happen naturally, he’s probably producing way less sperm if you’re having sex that often too

Download the my calendar app, it will tell you the week of your fertility window and have active sex then x

Fem 21 is a great option if you’ve been on the pill for ages or your hormones may be out of balance

It’s worked for so many of my family and friends and great regardless

Honestly, I have been tracking for a year and a half. We were kind of in the mind set that if it happens it happens and it would be the right timing. Still couldn’t help but to get a little discouraged though. I finally decided that I wasn’t going to pressure it anymore, and I recieved my positive yesterday! Just relax,( I know it seems impossible) and have faith that it will happen at the perfect time! Baby dust to you!

I was told to have sex twice a day every other day. Also, don’t get up right away after you’re done… let it “marinate” a little. And most importantly, DONT STRESS! It will happen when it’s meant to happen but stressing and forcing it is putting a strain on both your bodies. Enjoy each other & try not to let conceiving be your main focus.

Relax. Stop trying so hard. Enjoy a real touchy feely body arousing night together and it will happen. Caress each other kiss each other all over, slowly sensuous gradually bring each other to peak and it will happen. The other thing I did was figure my best ovulation days. My first child was conceived during the 4 days between each period. I was every 28 days so those 4 days in between, we had fun each day and 9 months later baby arrived. 4 days before his dad’s birthday.

Ovulation tests and track your cycle. Stop having sex until you’re ovulating. Let him build up! Also they say that it increases chances if the woman has an orgasm so relax and just have fun. If you do it too often then his count really lowers. And you need to know when the best time is for him to let that build up go! Good luck!!

I’m not a doctor but we were told by a doctor if you did it too much in a day it actually effects the sperm potency so to speak… eg. Better doing 1-2 every couple of days… could be worth asking your GP if you are the same?

How long have u been trying cus that many times a day?? Y’all should’ve meshed by now unless you’re biologically incompatible lmaoo :thinking: I would go to a Dr but also I got pregnant on birth control after only 5 months of being together so apparently without birth control I’m fertile myrtle…I can’t say much except that and go to your OB regularly of course to make sure nothing’s wrong inside and all your hormones are normal

Not so often. Less often is actually more effective.

I couldnt get pregnant after my first and 16 yrs later I had my lil man. I flushed my tubes and docs gave me a pill called CLOMID. I was prego that same month. Worth a try!! Also my friend wasn’t able to concive and had a tube flush and she got prego after a few weeks.

I think biology is hilarious, the people trying to cum 80 times a day end up infertile and the ones who fake their orgasms, man or female are the ones who want babies the most and the ones proactive but healthy about reproducing are the ones that get the surprise pregnancies and then the ones who deadass have no business having kids have like a whole football team :joy::joy: make sure he’s actually cumming :sparkles:

Download an ovulation/period tracking app and keep tracking the days for your ovulation. Those days are key to get pregnant. Don’t try so many times in a day, it doesn’t work that way. Also key role: relax your spirit, your body and your mind. Best of luck!

Track with ovulation strips to find out when you ovulate! When we were trying for our second, I tested every 3-4 hours starting 5 days after my cycle ends. I ordered mine on Amazon, Wondfo brand. It gave me 100 tests and 10 pregnancy tests. I got pregnant my second month of tracking

Honestly don’t think about it! Track your cycle and definitely have sex during your fertile window but doooonnnttt think about it! I swear it works. You’ll get pregnant when you expect it least! Just enjoy your partner and the sex! :wink: the rest will come naturally if your bodies allow it :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: good luck! :heart:

Start a banting diet and see. Most of my friends got pregnant that way. Two of them were even on birth control but they took this diet and BAAAAM they got babies. So maybe it works. Try it.

I am just impressed with the 5 to 6 times a day :slight_smile:

Stop trying so hard. My fiance and I stopped trying after a year. And literally the month after we stop trying I got pregnant with our daughter.
Once the stress of having a baby and the scheduled sex was off the table it helped me relax.

5-6 times a day may be lowering his sperm count. Y’all relax have a few drinks and get it in. Don’t put so much pressure on yourselves. And don’t think “i gotta get pregnant” while having sex enjoy the moment.

Honestly I feel like if you try so hard it will not happen , just go with the flow , your partner and you need to get checked see what’s going on. I thought I was infertile :smiling_face_with_tear: but as soon as I went to a chiropractor for some lower hip back pain I got pregnant that same week :joy::joy::joy: maybe try going to a chiropractor and get adjusted see if that helps :slightly_smiling_face:

I had a hard time getting pregnant. It took me 18 years to get pregnant. Luckily, my then husband was pretty hung. My cervix doesn’t work so I had him cum into my uterus. When he was about to get off, I made him push through my cervix. It wasn’t comfortable but it worked. Good luck, Mama.

Lemon water in the morning for both of you. Sex every 3 to 4 days and time both of your orgasms to go at the same time. You can also use a test that monitors your ovulation. Aim for those days. There are test kits at your local pharmacy.

When we were trying my doc suggested 1 time every other day. Keeps his sperm count at full capacity! Doing it how you are is probably lowering his sperm count

Learning when you ovulate and having sex around then. Also too frequently having sex may be more harmful than helpful or so I was told by my ob. Usually if a healthy couple has problems conceiving after 2 years then Drs look at fertility treatments.

I’m still stuck on 5-6x a day. That’s just so much. Idk if I’ve ever had sex 6x in a day… this is impressive. Lol good luck

Start a few days before you ovulate. 1 time a day. His sperm need a chance to mature. Sperm live inside for a few days… So if you start a few days before… You’ll have sperm inside ready to get to that egg when you ovulate.

After sex lay on your back do not get up and.put a pillow under your butt w your feet up against the wall.

You’re doing it too much. That can lower his sperm count. Track your period because 2 weeks before you get it the best time to try.

I tried with hubby for 5 years was obbsessed with tracking everything, making sure we did it on the right days and times, but it felt like nothing worked. Every month I’d trick myself into having symptoms and was always getting negatives. I was so upset. Then people would say it happens when you least expect it and stop trying or thinking about it. Some months I’d be less aggressive or try less but it was always in back of mind. 2020 started and things were going on with me where I just didn’t have the sex drive to do anything anymore. We only had sex 3 times from jan-end of April (poor hubby) I didn’t even realize I was pregnant or late for period because I had finally stopped tracking. It wasn’t until working a nightshift mother’s Day weekend where I out of no where realized my boobs felt a bit more tender for longer than they normally do before my period. I took a test on my 3 am break and was fully expecting a negative but was in UTTER shock seeing a very positive test. I don’t have much advice and I know hearing just try not to stress about it or think about it, also the famous line it will happen when it happens or when you least expect it. But in my case it was absolutly true. I only say my story in hopes of maybe helping you see that it doesn’t need to be so stressful and you don’t need to be doing it all the time or even when things look like youll never get pregnant, you can randomly with very little effort, its really all about perfect timing (which is hard to track)

I get pregnant every time I get healthy. We tried for 7 years to just let things happen, I was told by doctors its likely I wouldn’t have kids. So I focused on getting healthy (not eating fast food, processed stuff, no energy drinks, no junk food, and no alcohol) and lost 20 pounds…bam. pregnant. Then with my second I started working out again and we actually “kinda tried” with hopes. Lost 12 more pounds than prepregnancy from first…pregnant. after that we wanted to see if maybe a 3rd was possible. I lost 24 pounds in 30 days, ended up getting pregnant. Also, knowing your body’s signs of ovulation helps too. We did it like 4 or 5 times when I was ovulating.

Flo ovulation tracker will help you track ovulation and tells you when to have sex etc etc 5 to 6 times a day is way too much. Imo its just trying too hard relax enjoy the sex and follow the flo tracker itll happen

We tried for a year…nothing we booked an appt with specialist and I relaxed about it…got pregger with twins right away without ever seeing the doctor…

Prenatals, track your cycle (glow/ovia are good apps for doing this), have sex on fertile days, try keep stress to a minimum, and try calm down the amount of sex a little as if may be lowering his count. Also, have fun with it!

I was always told to not try but also don’t prevent it is one of the best methods

Have sex once or twice a day & don’t stress about it. The more you stress the more you won’t conceive. Sending big hugs & lots of luck to you

Stop trying so hard…. I did and it never happens the minute I put it out of my head a few months later lone bright hold I was pregnant. If u stress bout it it won’t happen. Dxxx

How long have y’all been trying? It took us almost 2 years with second child, I thought I was never gonna get pregnant, turned out fine just me being impatient I guess lol

As long as youre determine to be or get pregnant. It wont happen… give it up and stop thinking about it or planning for it. Every couple ive ever know finally gave up even adopted a baby. Then when they baby got to their first birthday… out of no where the mother got pregnant. Ive known 5 married couples this pattern happened too. Stop worrying about it and screwing yourselves ragged… calm down slow down. Theres just too much pressure on you both… itll happen when you least expect it you cant plan a baby. My mom use to say the first baby can come anytime the 2nd one takes 9 months…

Too much semen can change the environment in the vagina and actual kill sperm. Relax. Less is more.

5-6 times a day? Too much pressure on your selves!! Relax a bit and enjoy it, sounds more like it’s becoming a chore!!

Stop trying to get pregnant. Ease into having sex and maybe not so many times a day. The day you stop trying so hard is the day you will be blessed with a pregnancy. P.s I mean this is a friendly way :heart::blush:

Just stop thinking about it and then it will happen. There is a saying: too much of a good thing is not so good…
I tried almost for a year and nothing happened, I gave up and then I found out I was 7weeks pregnant.

My husband and I had two kids back to back, didn’t even get pregnant for 4yrs, I thought we would never have another and boom, we are due in NOV… when it’s gonna happen it’s going to happen! Enjoy eachother company and life! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Didn’t plan our 1st. 2nd, I bought ovulation tests (cheapish on Amazo n) and downloaded a period/ovulation tracker on my phone. I didn’t put any pressure on either of us, but was like “Hey, if you’re up for it, now’s good!”. We were actively not trying to try, but helping our odds when we did try. Do not try, just do…and have fun. I’m 39. Had 2nd in April. The strips seemed to work pretty good!

Don’t think about it. Download an ovulation tracker and track your cycles. Less sex multiple times a day and more spreading it out. I got pregnant within two weeks of stopping the pill both times. Maybe I’m just a fertile myrtle but that’s what worked for us.

I tried for over a year with tracking everything and received my positive last November! Your time will come, don’t stress and make the most out of the adventure!

Only every 3 days you could miss ovulation easily.

When I was most irritated and didn’t want my fiance to even look at me, let alone touch me, was when I was apparently ovulating. :woman_shrugging: Took one month of tracking and I was pregnant the next month.

started trying when my daughter was 2…tried for 5 years had fertility tests nothing wrong with us …give up…caught pregnant dont put too much stress on it x

Take black haw bark capsules I know people that had problems getting pregnant and they did after taking them.

My sister in law got on medication to conceive!

Okay one five to six times a day isn’t going to get you pregnant. His sperm count just lowers the more times a day you have sex. Two how long have you been trying. Don’t put a lot of pressure on it. Just relax and enjoy.

Start by knowing your calendar. When you ovulate… It’s only during that time when you can conceived and it’s the best time of the month to try. Download a period app, they usually indicate when you ovulate and predict next period

Every second day all month. You only need to do it once on the second day.

Both times I fell pregnant was from quickies.

Stop planning and trying, just enjoy the sex!

Nature will take its course when the time is right.

So my doctor told me use ovulation tests twice a day so around 10am and around 5pm (not first morning urine like pregnancy tests) then have sex every other day of your cycle until you get a positive ovulation test the have sex that night the next skip a day then have sec one last time that cycle (if you want to have sex again afterwards it’s okay just its not needed for pregnancy)

Check and see when you are ovulating. Keep track of your most fertile days and have sex then. Less often.

Every time you are in the mood and he is in the mood. Only be intimate 2 to 3 times a week

Tried for almst a full year and nothing happened… a month after we stopped trying i fell pregnant :face_with_head_bandage:

That’s drastically lowering his sperm count :weary: track your ovulation with a period app and try to focus on only having sex a few times a week and during your ovulation

Stop stressing is what we had to do and it took us 5 years and we just had our first baby 7 monthes ago. After we stopped stressing we found out we was pregnant.

You’re literally having too much sex. 1x-2x every other day. His body needs time to regenerate sperm. Ovulation tests help.

Stop stressing about it. It took us 5 years and just had our first daughter 7 monthes ago. We had to stop stressing and right when we stopped stressing and gave up we found out we was pregnant.

The first day of your period is day 1 you are most fertile days 12,13,and 14, so rest on days 1_11 never fails xxgood luck and as said in comments youre lowering your chances with what youve been doing xx

Have sex within 3 days after your period. That’s how I got pregnant. You’re still ovulation within that window.

I’m on month 8 of trying and my OB has me on Clomid, track your ovulation, and have sex every 2-3 days

3-5 times a DAY?
Makes me tired just reading that🤪
The best thing to attempt to do is not stress over it. Easier said than done, I know :grimacing:

You’re having too much sex… your thinking out the goods.

Tracking your bbt and ovulation would be a good start. I’d also only have sex once a day, every other day.

Spread the sex out over the days and just go with it the more you think of it and stress the less likely it is to happen

Chart your ovulation with an app like Flo and after sex, stick your butt up on a pillow and chill for a bit… gravity is your friend.

I’m not trying to conceive but you can track your cycle & when you are ovulating with an app called FLO you will only conceive when you’re ovulating

5/6 x a day seems a bit much - honestly used the Period Tracker app / maybe ovulation tracking and make sex Fun again :heart:

After sex lay around with your feet up in the air like on the wall or something

They say to do it once every two days. No masturbation. So his sperm count can go back up. Also afterward put a pillow under your hips and legs up for 15 min.

But really though. I know it’s easier said than done but don’t stress about it. That’s not going to help anything. The best thing to do is to track your ovulation period, stop stressing about it & have fun with it & don’t have sex as much. Less sex is usually more effective.
