Question

3 years TTC, need some advice.

Me and my husband have been ttc for 3 years now and we haven't had any luck. We both got tested and we're both normal so we're not understanding what's going wrong. I'm 29 years old now, had the same job for almost 6 years, no stress or anything, and normal cycles. He's 32 and the only thing he does that's not healthy is smoke a few cigarettes a day since he cut back last year. We don't have any other kids and we're ready for this step in our lives. I don't want to go through any injection or prescribed medication yet so I was wondering if there are any natural ways to increase my fertility. We have intercourse every other day after my period and then on the day before, the day of, and the day after I ovulate. We're already using the ovulation kit to keep up with it so I'm not understanding the problem. Please help us.

Try seeing a qualified acupuncturist. Chinese medicene worked for me and many others! You'd be amazed at how quickly you can see changes in your cycles, hormonal issues, etc.

Since i dnt have madical aid it a long journey clinics to hospital very slow process but they finaly booked me for hgs procedure which i think you should concider too, they will unblocked your tubes surely it the reason for not conceiving because everything alse seem to be fine.

Hope you take my advice and make a plan to check your tubes and if you have insurance will be much better.

We have been trying for many years as well. I went to a chiropractor for s neck issue and he said I had a pinched nerve in my lower back...the nerve that controls your reproductive organs. I began reading about it, and saw that a ton of women have gotten pregnant after seeing a chiropractor...I am going on 3 months of seeing one and I have noticed my cycle changing and becoming more normal. I have not gotten pregnant yet, but I am hopeful. It may be worth a try for you!

I heard acupuncture helps. But sometimes you need help. No herbs or lubes helped me. I used Clomid after ttc for 4yrs. Maybe your cervical mucus isnt entirely proper? I used conceive plus lubricant and it feels like extremely fertile mucus and helped first time

I also had my hubbster take 500mg of vitamin c a day and he has a low sperm count but it definitely made them swim lol i looked it up online, sometimes the simplest thing helps the most. And its very safe, extremely hard to overdose on. Vitamin c

Also because its so easily absorbed it only took about 1 1/2 -2 months to improve his sperm greatly. I also took it until i got my period, so basically almosta month and he did 2 months.
