Mamas, what’s the best way to conceive?

Multiple times a day isn’t going to do anything. Go every 2nd day so his boys can replenish.

They come when want to and not a moment sooner, same when it’s time to deliver. The more you “try” the longer it might take. Sometimes you need to stop trying and start having spontaneous fun. Trying can be stressful on both partners.

Eveytime I stopped trying to have a baby I got pregnant, when your trying your mind and body stresses, so if your relaxed and not thinking about it and calm down on the making babies part :wink: then the magic will happen when your body feels ready x

Y’all both are most likely stressed from trying so much. Quit trying. I know that’s easier said then done but it’s true. Truly enjoy each other and quit thinking about trying to get pregnant.

Track when you’re ovulating. Once you know when you are then you can once a day every other day. Good luck!

My husband and I didn’t plan on having kids and we didn’t use anything for 4 years and became worried that we couldn’t get pregnant… my dr. Recommended after I graduated that I could start fertility testing but highly recommended me tracking my cycles, how long they would last, and then this app would show my most fertile days which actually worked for us I highly recommend trying a fertility app before getting tested

Get to know your cervix changes and you’ll know exactly when you’re ovulating. Open cervix ovulation had happened. There’s usually only a 24h window while it’s open. Want a girl ? Have intercourse right before the cervix opens. Want a boy? Have intercourse while cervix is open.

I’m not a medical dr. But I did do a lot of self studying when trying to conceive my child with DR visit. insemination. Good luck.
This is just my theory based on my experience

For both of mine- I didn’t conceive until I tracked my ovulation. Then just once a day :heart:

Stressing about trying to have a baby tends to make it take way longer… I’ve never planed my kids…

He is finishing too much, which brings his speed count low.

Get ovulation tests, and wait until you see you are ovulating, then have sex once that morning, and again that night.

And don’t have sex until you are ovulating!

See a fertility doc. My bff and her hubby tried for years, listened to her gyno but still no baby, went to fertility doc discovered one of her fallopian tubes was dead on top of PCOS. Had dead tube removed within six months baby. Sex alone was never going to get the baby made

Try pre seed, track ovulation only doing it every other day during your ovulation time, not masturbating and keep legs elevated for about 20 mins. I also heard musinex helps

Stop trying so hard. Thats what I did. As soon as we stopped trying, we got pregnant.

Conceive plus pills and lubricant worked for us. Also used tracking apps.

And definitely try the ovulation apps.

Uh have sex once every day or every other day during your fertile week

Herbs royal jelly and maca… don’t get up after, go to bed let them swim … you don’t want gravity pulling them down …

Just let god do the planning

breathe, relax & have fun…and mostly stop trying so hard

Stop doing it so much. The man’s shooting blanks. It takes at least 48 hours to reload the amo. Dont try so hard.

Track your period and ovulation. Having sex 5-6 times a day won’t increase your chances. Sperm needs to replenish.

Get a blood panel done by your doctor and see how your body is doing and what you may need to be as healthy as possible not just to conceive but to carry too

Uh, slow your roll. Once 3x/week is more than enough

Well there are lot of factors that come into play. Where you on birth control for a long time? Did you get the Gardasil shot (some people are having trouble conceiving after getting it). Finally it just takes time. Relax, have fun and enjoy yourself in the process. Don’t turn it into something mechanical. After several months of still concerned. Contact your OB and work on a conception plan.
The worst thing and hardest thing you can do is worry about it obsessively.
Good luck!

Woah that’s way too much sex.
Honestly see a doctor, if you’ve been trying for over 3 years and over 25 you need to see some they can run tests on his sperm and you and how fertile you are too. Is your cycle regular? If not then it’s harder to determine when you ovulate, perhaps you need drugs to help your ovulation cycle.
As for the “don’t think about it” that’s impossible and stupid I hated hearing that when we were trying. I think the better way of putting it is stress and worry isn’t good for you. Good luck

Stop trying so hard. Relax, enjoy and let it happen

Easier said than done. Don’t try so hard. Stressing doesn’t help. Get a fertility app

Don’t listen to the people that say “just relax”, “stop trying”, “don’t try so much”. That is the least helpful piece of advice when TTC. I sure hope they don’t say that to anyone struggling with infertility.

Get yourself some ovulation strips - Amazon sells easy@home and premom ones. There is a premom app that you can download on your phone and take pictures of your ovulation strips to track. It’ll let you know when you’ve peaked/numbers are high - which means your body will be releasing an egg within the coming 12-36 hours. This is a good method to use if you are trying to prevent pregnancy as well (so you know to stay away). Track your BBT as well. Just make sure you are actually tracking via ovulation strips instead of just relying on a period tracking app to tell you when your fertile window is as those are 9x out of 10 wrong. Premom is the best - I truly recommend that app over some of the other apps out there (like Flo). They sell lube that is recommended to help with conceiving (Preseed is a very popular brand). I’ve heard taking Mucinex around the time of ovulation can help too since it thins your cervix.

Keep in mind that there is only a 20% chance each month of conceiving when you are actively trying. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to schedule an appointment to see your obgyn/midwife if you’ve been trying for a while either :heart:

Sending you ALL of the baby dust!! :sparkles:

Find out your fertile days what I did. Those days you do it

Figure out your fertile week and have sex every other day. Too much sex so close together will lower his sperm count, it needs time to build back up.

Stop trying so hard relax enjoy it track your ovulation and 5 to 6 times is way to much 1 or 2 is good

I would say 2 times a day should be your maximum. Also count from your 1st day of your period 13 days and go for it.

I wouldn’t do it too much. Multiple sessions doesn’t equal multiple chances I have been told. However I will tell you something I read once and did research on and it proved to be true. You’ll think I am insane… I read that you should take Mucinex once a day to relieve the sluggish mucus in your system because it slows down sperm and blocks it or something along the lines. I thought it was stupid and never really tried it until I had the flu and I was living off of Mucinex and got pregnant immediately after. I tried for almost a year. I tell everyone this because I know without a doubt that is what helped. I also quit “trying” so much and I just let it be. Stress makes everything so much worse on your body.

Okay we are going through fertility again for another. 5-6 times a day is wild lol. About four days before you ovulate and about three days after you ovulate…that whole week basically you should about three times a day. Morning. Lunch range or after work. Then bed.

One thing I found out that I didn’t know when we were trying is most lubes are actually harmful to the process … So if you’re using them, maybe back off and try less sex so your bodies are actually enjoying the process?
Also, fertility is usually highest midway from start of your period day to start of your next period day (you can test it with ovulation strips you’d buy same place as pregnancy tests).
If you’re concerned about it and it’s still not happening for a while, it may be worth it to talk to your Doctor.

I had to be put on fertility meds just to have our first

Try not to stress :heart: I have read that “every other day during your fertile window” is best for conceiving.

This is a great book and an easy read, it helped us! It was recommend by a midwife.

He needs to build sperm up. Download Ovia, buy some ovulation sticks. We ended up needing ivf but we tried everything under the sun first.

Stop trying lol. It’ll happen.

Im sorry assholes want to laugh react at such a difficult time for you. I wish you the best.

:see_no_evil: stop doing it so much! You ruin the quality of sperm.
Just ONE time and Every other day! Give sperm a chance to ‘be good’

Just relax … and hanging upside down with your legs in the air is a myth!!! LMAO

Stop trying as much trying can create stress.

Know when you ovulate. Have sex about 3 days before and 3 days after!!
A few times a day also lay with your legs up for 15 mins after.

Do not try so hard the moment u stop trying is when it will happen

So, we tried for a long time and it didn’t happen because I was so stressed about it happening… when I stopped trying and decided I didn’t want kids I’d when it happened, and I’m 13 weeks right now, LOL!

5-6 times a day!?
Seriously girl not only let him rest but give your poor vagaina a rest Hahaha.
Try to have sex out of pleasure… if you want to know your ovulating days grab 2 boxes of test. Try have sex once every day or two after your period ends… I found the more I stressed about trying to conceive the harder it was.

If you have sex too much you can deplete his sperm count (I learned this the hard way myself) and my on suggested every other day. You can take some over the counter cold meds to help thin your mucus before sex so the sperm has better chances of getting where it needs to go. We also took dong quai and Damiana- herbals that improve blood flow to your Vagina/ woman parts. (Added bonus are easy and great O’s) :heart_eyes:

Also, stay laying down for 30 minutes after you have sex. Feel free to message me if I can help. I am a nurse and went through years of bs to try to get pregnant.

Do not worry yourself sick over it. It’ll make it even harder. Sex should be fun :crazy_face:

Just do what me and my fiance did. Get super drunk and have fun. We had 3 kids in one year. Singleton born Nov 12, and twins Sept of 13. :slight_smile: I truly believe people don’t get pregnant bc they stress themselves and their bodies.

I was told the best schedule for trying is having sex at least every other day. It’s supposed to try to help keep the stress on trying lower and keep it fun. But it’s been a few years since I’ve heard that. So, I don’t know if anything has changed or not.

Stop trying and relax. Maybe God is trying to tell you something :woman_shrugging:t2::woman_shrugging:t2::woman_shrugging:t2:.

If you get a ovulation app. Start filling out how you feel daily and when your period comes. Then your app will predict when your " fertile period is". Now you can plan for the day before and every other day. Plus on the day of ovulation. Then if it doesn’t work the first few months adjust when you are trying and how. It has to be fun and sexy. If your not enjoying it I find it’s harder to conceive. Each time iv gotten pregnant I know which day was the magic lol

Now If you still don’t get pregnant it’s worth having you both at the Dr to make sure there’s nothing making it harder like Pcos or Endometriosis.

Good luck!!!

Track your cycles. Have sex the day before highest ovulation the day of and the day after.

A males sperm takes 24 hours to build back up. So your 5-6 times every other day is not going to do it.
You need to be tracking your ovulation. Don’t have sex at all a week prior On the peak ovulation day have sex, Skip a day have sex again Skip a day have sex again…
As many times as yall are having sex your not giving his body time to build back up his sperm count. After the first time it’s just blanks their shooting…

Doctors usually say after trying on your own for about a year and being unsuccessful then it’s time to start fertility meds after both of yall have been checked.

Patience. Some catch straight away, some weeks, moths or years. You only need to do it once or twice a week really as once you’ve done it the first time of the day, he won’t be full of swimmers on the 2nd, 4th and most definitely the 5th time in that 24hrs!!! It takes time to recreate and reload as it were. You’re doing too much too soon and it’ll take a good 3 or 4 days from each full load as it were😏 to catch that egg, fertilise and give you a positive test. You need to know when you’re ovulating and he needs to save himself for a day or 2 before and then enjoy every other day or 2. You need to find out more facts and info on timings for you and him and his swimmers then you can calm down, chill out and go steady. It’ll happen when you’re less stressed

Take your temp. Every morning before getting out of bed. Keep a chart. Calm down. Your Dr well tell you all about it.

Track your cycle with an app, I personally use Clue. It’ll let you know potential fertile days as well as when you’re ovulating.
If you put too much pressure on yourself and your significant other, it’s going to be harder to conceive.

Have you been tracking your ovulation cycles? If you are ovulating too quickly, the egg isn’t mature enough to be fertilized. Try taking chasteberry (also called vitex) to regulate your cycle.

Thats too often. It takes time to make mature sperm.

I think thats too much sex. Just have fun making kids. They’ll come when you lease expect it unless you or you or your partner have a problem, then ill suggest you go to a fertility clinic or something.

First off, I’m sorry people are being rude and inconsiderate. Getting pregnant isn’t easy for everyone and is certainly not something to joke about with someone who’s struggling. Slow down on how often you have sex, get a period/ovulation tracking app and ovulation tests to check your most fertile days. My brother and sister in law took Clomid and that helped them conceive within a couple of months. Certain sex positions can also help with conception, certain foods can burst or help with fertility. Your husband can also take supplements or eat certain foods to help boost his sperm.

You need to cut back on the amount of sex y’all are having. Doing that much sex a week doesn’t give his body enough time to replenish his sperm count.

Jeez, give his swimmers some recoup time! That’s too much in a day. Once a day/every other day during your fertile week will be enough.
