Mamas, what’s the best way to conceive?

Honestly my husband took me out for drinks on my birthday 2 margaritas that’s all it took lol :joy: we had been trying for 6 months stopped trying for a month drinks and bam :boom: lol healthy baby boy 9 months later

Track ovulation and have sex when ur ovulation… To much sex can seriously go against you as if your having several lots of sex in a day his sperm is gonna be weak.

Track your cycle. I used the app Ovia and got pregnant quick every time.

I was trying for 14 months for my first - I was to stop “trying” and relax and go have a few drinks

Coming from someone who has fertility issues. You don’t have to do it that many times a day. It’ll eventually feel more like a chore then actually making love with your partner. After One time of having intercourse the Sperm can live inside of you for days… Buy ovulation strips. I love Easy@Home test strips off of Amazon… if you’ve been trying for at least a year get an appointment with your OB. They should do testings to see if there is something holding you back from getting pregnant.

Stop trying so hard! Take a break, when you’re not worrying about it, it usually happens! Good luck!

What worked for us was sex every other day for the week prior (during) and the week after ovulation was due.

I used ovulation tests. Remember, too much of a good thing is just as bad. :wink:

I took maca root pills & vitex right after getting off of birth control, got pregnant a month later

5-6 times a day?!? You only need to be trying three times a week

Quality not quantity, you should let his sperm regenerate for 1-2 days at a time just track your cycle and eggs so it aligns… Lol

It takes 48 hours I believe for the sperm count to build back up . Once every other day would be my recommendation

Take a prenatal, track ovulation, use pre seed lube. I swear by that lube. Have sex every other day in that ovulation window. Again, pee seed lube.

“Not thinking about it” doesn’t work if you’re having legitimate fertility issues. If you’re under 30 and trying for 12 months or more, please see your doctor. If you’re over 30, see your doctor at 6 months.
I did fertility treatments with my first 3 kids. My 3rd kid alone was 7 inseminations and 2 IVFs. Know your cycle, cut back on the number of times per week, and talk to a physician if necessary.

Too much!!! Do it 1-2 times a week during your most fertile window. Relax and have fun! Don’t even think about it. That’s how it worked for my 3.

12 days after your period is when you are at your peek of ovulation I got pregnant tracking my days after my last period

Usually, thinking about pregnancy and stressing over it will lower your chances. Once you finally give up, that’s the month itll happen. It just happens so often.

5-6 times a DAY, ewww. Way to turn something enjoyable into something robotic

I laid with my legs up against the wall for half hour boom pregnant first try with twins :joy:

For me I just stopped taking my pills and conceived immediately. I assume it’ll be the same the 2nd time around.

Track your period, have sex around your ovulation day.

What does that vitamin do? What’s that for?

use a cycle tracking app. it will tell you when you are ovulating with pretty decent accuracy if you use it correctly.

I have always got pregnant within the 14 to 18 window of the first day of my period :upside_down_face:

Last day of period , then everyother night for 2 weeks♥️

Low sperm count gotta do it a little less…less pressure on ur selfs

5 or 6 times A DAY?! Multiple days a week?! Dear Lord. That just sounds exhausting.

That’s a lot in a day!!
When we were trying it was every other day and always worked. :woman_shrugging:t2::wink::+1:

I know this will sound crazy but take mucinex :woman_shrugging: also don’t go at it so much. Also no stress

5-6 times a day! :joy: I guess get it in before you actually have kids and no longer want to :person_shrugging:t3::joy::sob:

Talk to your ob have your hormone levels checked

Try sex after ur period. Without skipping those after days.

Use the app flo. I’ve been using that for yeeaarrsss and it always is accurate with my period and ovulation.

Stop having sex that much!!! Get an app to track your cycles. As well as stop trying. I say have sex once every 2 days honestly. There’s ovulation tests at the store you can buy as well to make sure your ovulating. Slow down breathe and don’t stress. I’d say after trying this method for 6 months to a year and you still havnt conceived there may be other matters at play and you should see your doctor and him one as well. Good luck

Stop trying and let nature take its course it will happen

I think you are fertile 5 days a month but really string 3 of those days. It’s usually about 2 weeks after your period

First and only thing you need to know/do……QUIT TRYING. I say that bc that’s when it will happen. You seem way to anxious by doing it that many times a day.

Quit having pressure sex! Relax and have fun!

You’ll get pregnant when you’re not even trying. Works every time. Lol.

Track your ovulation

I just looked this up hope it helps

Take your basil body temp, download a free app on your phone that helps keep track of your cycle. If you have a 28 day cycle, your 14-15th day is when you would typically ovulate and you should focus on days 11-16 in your cycle. Those are your fertile days.

Honestly, ur just having too much sex…go a few days without it! Keep taking your meds, track ur ovulation, let his speem count build… and go to town!! Don’t put so much pressure on urself!!

5 to 6 times? Makes it feel like a chore now. Track your ovulation instead.

How is your coochie not raw from boinking 5/6 times a day :weary::smiling_face_with_tear:

That’s wayyyy too much sex oh my god.
Stop trying and it’ll happen.

Make sure you are ovulating. Use a period tracking app and it will tell you when you are ready.

Just here to say you’re garbage if you laugh reacted this post

Pray and have faith.

Stop trying so hard.

First off, the partners need to be a male and female. Traditional conception will not work with male/male or female/female partners.

The female needs to time her period for optimizing her most fertile time. The male needs to relax and allow his sperm count to build up. His balls need to be hanging freely in a pair of boxers. Mens briefs can add heat to the balls causing the sperm to die off. The female can’t be going down on her man swallowing all the precious baby batter. Slow down take your time and it will cum!

All of my kids were conceived when we weren’t actually trying, especially the youngest. He was the only one planned. :sweat_smile: Best advice would be to relax, and you don’t have to try everyday. You can do it every 2-3 days. But, honestly, the more you relax and don’t try, especially don’t think about it (I know, it’s very difficult to do, but it does help), the higher chance you have of it happening. If it doesn’t happen after a year, your best bet would be to go to a fertility specialist. Make sure you both are in the green when it comes to baby-making. Good luck to you!

I wish I had all the money I spent trying to get pregnant with my second child and it took 4 years to have her! My third I just let it happen. I stopped taking the pill and thought it will happen or not I’m good either way….it took 4 months and I was even 32!

I used an app called Glo. I was told there was only a 15% chance I would ever get pregnant much less have a successful pregnancy. I now have 2 and 4 year old boys. My pregnancies were high risk BUT it was worth every second.

I struggled to conceive and after years of trying I guessed I wasn’t meant to be a mummy. Once we stopped trying it happened naturally. I was almost 42

5-6x a day isnt enough time for your partner’s sperm to ‘replenish’. 1-2x every day or every other day starting around predicted ovulation date and 1-2 days following. ‘GLOW’ app is a great way to track your cycle. But overall, try not to stress and try to keep the fun in trying. Get to know your body and cycle for a few months and that will help in conceiving. Dont be hard om yourself or partner.

So, I learned in anatomy class that it takes 24 hours for sperm to become motile. More than once a day defeats the purpose. You’re not allowing the sperm to mature before begging them to swim. My boyfriend and I never planned either of ours, but we got them when life got in the way. Even with birth control.

Every 2-3 days is better because it produces better quality sperm. Also track your ovulation either with cervical mucus or ovulation tests. Stress and anxiety can have the opposite effect. Good luck. :heart:

Also if you think something maybe wrong, y’all both can go get hormone panels done and then go from there.

Also start taking pre natal vitamins! Their amazing for a woman’s health and will give your body nutrition needed for baby.

I got pregnant while on my period and I was on top… Relax and enjoy ur fun time together don’t expect anything just have fun feeling good and see what happens…

I agree with everyone else… don’t try… also while you both are doing your thing on making a baby… don’t think about anything of babies just enjoy it!! I think it really helps as well!!

Holy cow… 5-6 times a day. My gosh how? Is there some vitamin you’re giving him? That’s crazy. Go girl.

Track when you’re ovulating. Have sex every other day or every day during your fertile window (the few days before, to the day or two after you get a positive ovulation test - usually this will be between days 10-17, unless you ovulate later in your cycle like I do.) Having a lot of sex is fine, but if you’re not ovulating, it doesn’t matter how much sex you’re having, you can’t get pregnant without ovulation.

Make sure you’re taking daily women’s vitamins, make sure he’s not drinking a bunch of energy drinks or smoking too too much.

More sex does not make it happen faster. He has to rest and build up. This is from my ob. We had sex the day my lh peak was positive and the day after.
5-6 times a day is too much.
Monitor your lh levels. Depending on age and how long you’ve been trying contact your ob to have a check up. Plus have your partner do a sperm analysis.

Save up that sperm for a few days right before ovulation then have sex 5-6x

Too much. while doing in vitro hubby had to not ejaculate for 3 days before he went in to give his contribution.

When you start your period count up from first day. On the 13,14,15th day after your period have intercourse. That’s how I got pregnant with both my kids.

Every other day during your fertile window. Take OPK’s and temp.

It’s sounds alot like a chore and putting alot of stress on both of you. Relax have fun. TALK TO YOUR doctor.

Get ovulation strips to find out when you ovulate.

Quit actively/consciously trying. It worked 2x for me. My body seemed to like surprises better than planning.

Your trying to hard and stressed out…relax a bit and it will happen without all the scheduling…

You are having too much sex slow down just do it couple times a week

Legs up in the air after each time

When I stopped trying thats when I got pregnant

Once a day every other day is plenty.

Get the app “clue” . Relax . Don’t pay . Track your approximate fertile day (it will help u hone that in . Above all , relax and it will happen .

The biggest thing for us to just relax. It took us 4 years. But the deed felt different when I fell pregnant. We weren’t doing it to make a baby, we were connected that time more so than others

Also depending on your body weight , exercise lightly to enjoy it , take a a prenatal now . Before u know it that baby will be in the oven :heart::heart::heart::heart:

Oh and if u were in a contraceptive it can take time to get out of your system and my husband was on testosterone (works almost like male birth control , it lowered his count ) … we now have 7 kids lmao .

How I did it: do the deed, pee right after. Letting it “marinate” isn’t a thing. Worked after the first try.

Stop trying. Get some professional massages.

Straight after your periods

These monitors work great well worth the money.

The best way is not to try. Me and my husband sure as hell weren’t trying when we got pregnant last year. Last thing either one of us thought we’d have in our life at this age was a baby. But here she is. We had sex in a very different way when we got pregnant. My butt was on the arm of the couch and my body was down on the couch. I guess it was easier for the little sperm to swim where they needed to go. But either way we weren’t trying anything but a new position when we got pregnant. I’m in my
mid 30s and hes in his 40s​:joy::sob::woman_facepalming: oh and here’s our little bundle of joy.

I got pregnant when I got strep throat. My immune system had to be lowered. :person_shrugging:

10-14 days after the 1st day of your period is your most fertile days.
