Hi Tracey. It took me a year before I had my first. When I did finally get pregnant I had some fertility reflexology, or u could have acupuncture.  I was drinking lots of water (sorry for tmi but this makes cervical mucus thicker)and taking the following vitamin B complex, folic acid, vitamin Q10 enzyme, zinc, evening primrose oil. I got these seperate. My husband took all these except folic acid and primrise oil but took selenium and l'arginine instead as this is to make the sperm better. We took these for 3 months before we conceived. Also dont use any lubricant that can kill sperm. We used preseed which you can buy online. You do know you can go to see a gp after a year of trying for fertility tests. Wishing you lots of luck xx

Stop trying to have a baby.  I mean, obviously I don't know your whole situation, but after only 4 months it's putting a strain on your relationship?  Doesn't seem the most stable situation to bring a baby in to.  Maybe start with some pre marital counseling so you're working as a team?  

If I'm totally off base, then try the fertility awareness method book.  Very good information about how to properly track *your* cycle, not based on an average you may not measure up to.

I had sex every day from 2 days before my ovulation week til the day I stopped. It took us 4 to 5 minths of trying before we got a positive test. Itll happen. You jus gotta relax an watch your cycles

Fertility diet and acupuncture.  It took us 18 months to conceive and only after 4 months of the fertility diet and acupuncture. Fertility diet is: Cut out sugar and processed foods.  Greatly increase your intake of healthy fat,  which comes from whole fat dairy, eggs, avocados, walnuts, olive oil,  fish, and meat. Also took herbal medicine designed to support the endocrine system which controls your hormones. (Herbal meds must be prescribed by a naturopath. You shouldn't do it yourself. )

When we were trying to conceive we had intercourse at night and then I'd go straight to sleep w/o urinating. I know you are supposed to go pee to help avoid a UTI but I let it all marinate for the night. Lol but do not let it strain your relationship because its not going to help at all, it will make you stress more & getting pregnant won't happen.

I know this sounds funny but once you figure out your ovulation time try to only have intercourse that day...skip the day before and after. After intercourse, put ur legs up for at least 10-20 minutes. Idk if this will work for you but it did help us. God's blessings!
