Sometimes it just takes a little time. I just had my first baby in February and it took us 2 years to get pregnant. It can be really frustrating, so sometimes you just have to take a step back and relax about it for a bit.

Hey there,

I got pregnant after taking progesterone creams after just a couple of week. Many women are estrogen dominant since our meat is injected with hormones and the products we use everyday such as make-up, hair products contain chemicals that act like estrogen in our bodies.

One note: You have to be careful to read ingredients in the progesterone creams. I bought Arbonne's prolief cream and noticed it contains Parabans which are horrible for us and again act like estrogen in our bodies. Just make sure you do not see the word paraban on the ingredient label.

I used Bliss Cream. Here is the website for that:

Good luck!

Hi M.,
I have three pieces of advice:
1)All life is a gift from God. If you haven't done so already, ask Him!
2) Several of the young women in our church and have used the book, "Taking Charge of your Fertility" by Toni Weschler -- with great results, both in getting pregnant and avoiding pregnancy.
3) There is a natural supplement that make healthy cells and enhances the communication between cells. Since that's how pregnancy happens, many women with infertility problems have found success with glyconutrients. Email me if you are interested and I'll be happy to get some info to you.

If none of the above are successful, thank God for the two you have and enjoy them! If you still hanker for a baby, there are plenty of little ones who need a home and not enough foster homes to go around.

It took us a year to get pregnant with our son and we were just doing things at the wrong time. My doctor gave me all sorts of tips, one being getting a ovulation kit at the drug store. There will be instructions in the box to tell you what to do. After we used the kit two months later, we were expecting. Other tips, after intercourse, stay on your back, put a pillow under your bottom...thus helping gravity flow. Oh, one other, wait 30 minutes before going to pee pee. I did all these and they were all very effective.

My fiance's advice is to stop worrying about it. I swear everyone he's told that to has wound up pregnant within two months. Now he thinks he's some kind of shaman. But it's kinda true, if you know everything healthwise is fine, stress itself can affect your chances. My advice would be to break out the blanket & wine, roll around under the stars like a couple of primates, and disregard the "clock" for awhile. Get together whenever you can, really enjoy yourself and your partner, and have some young-lovin kinda fun. :}

answers from Fayetteville on

If you have already been tested for possible reasons that would make conception difficult (hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, PCOS), then you might try an ovulation predictor kit (they can be bought over the counter now)or the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility". If those things don't prove successful, then you may have to see a specialist to rule out any other issues. Prayers that you'll be holding a new baby soon!

I have PCOS and was told that I would never get preggers on my own. Well the hubby and I couldnt afford any procedures so we were devastated. 3 years later I unexpectantly found out I was preggers. I had a beautiful healthy babygirl. Two years later we wanted another so we tried for two years and finally we gave up. I threw out the charts and thermometer. Almost right away we were preggers with our Babyboy. The moral of this story is GIVE UP! Just relax, take a vacation or something. If I can do it with PCOS and nonexistent periods you can. Good luck and Im sending baby vibes your way.

Be encouraged, dear. God may not show up when you want Him to, but when He shows up, you WILL want Him! :) Every good and perfect gift (your little treasure of love) comes from above, from God. And I realize that this may not be the "instructional book" on "How To Have a Baby", but I promise you this one thing: if you have another one, it's going to come from the SAME source as the other two: GOD! And that even includes if you should ever decide to adopt. Be blessed!!

Hi M.,

I work for a chiropractor who is also an acupuncturist. We have done both for women having fertility issues with success. It's all natural and you would want to make sure they are licensed in both. I wish you good luck in your endeavors.

Hello M., I hope all is well with you, I know you have alot of responds but I thought I would share my story with you. I have been married for 11 years now in which the first 4 my husband and I tried to conceive, hoping and praying each month my cycle would show up late. but it would come and We would try again. It seemed as if all my friends and everyone around me was getting p.g. I kept thinking what the hell am I doing wrong. We all say and know to relax, but it is easier said than done, when you want something so bad. After trying for so long we decided to check with the Dr. My husband got tested all was good there. a week before all my testing was scheduled I found out I was p.g. which months later ended in a miscarriage/ worst feeling ever, trying so long, praying so hard and to end up like this. well after my DNC two months later I found out I was p.g. again 9 months later i had my first son. and than 14 months after that my second son. How can this be I tried for so long and now I have 2 boys under the age of 2. I really wanted a baby girl so years later, i did alot of research online and with my dr. to learn my body and ovulation. I became a pro as to know when I ovulate, the key. I followed the method to chose your sex, and my baby GIRL is now 16 months. do your research, know your body, and believe that God will bless you with your hearts desire. Also take your prenatals now, my Dr. said that helps too. Sorry so long but I just wanted to share this with you. and let you know your not alone.
