Any advice for me?
I hope you don't think I'm crazy but I got preg. so easy with my 1st 2. With ryan I started in Sep and got preg. in Oct. Then I got preg. in Feb (Ryan was 8 months old) (we wanted them close in age) and we tried just that month. I had a m/c . I was told to wait 3 cycles and I did and got preg right away in May.
I have been trying since Aug and I'm not preg. yet. Should I be worried or am I being paranoid? I will say - it is harfer this time around trying to find time to BD (sorry if tmi) but with 2 young kids it's rough.
Did this happen to anyone else? I was fine with the first 2. Should I be worried? You think I'm just not hitting it?
Thanks for letting me vent and any advice would be welcome!

I haven't. I'm afraid it would be too much pressure. I think I will try one more month and if doesn't work out then I will try that next month.

Re: Any advice for me?
Are you temping? Just wondering if you are ovulating. That might be the first thing you figure out.
But if you don't think you are BDing enough - that's probably the problem.
So get a babysitter and get to it!

I'm not temping. Do you think I should try that?

Can you realisticallt temp at about the same time every morning before you get out of bed? I have one and my answer is no! I would try the OPK's if the natural methid doesn't work. And def make time for you and DH! GL!

Re: Any advice for me?
This is me. With my first, I went off the pill in August, used protecton September and October, started trying in November and got pregnant that month. Miscarried, and got pregnant again one week later 
This time around nothing is working out the same  I went off the pill in January. Started paying attention to my cycles in May, started using a monitor and charting in September, and still nothing, so I went to an RE last week. She confirmed my suspicions that, based on my chart, there may be a small issue, and that I'm not being overly paranoid by going to her before the year is up considering how quick it happened for our first, and after the miscarriage.
It really just may be an issue of timing - we just don't have the same luxury to BD whenever, wherever like we used to, before having a baby, so it, unfortunately, requires a little more planning this time around. If I were you, I'd start using OPK's to nail down the 2-3 days when it's essential that you BD. Charting helps you get an idea of what your cycles are like, and the timeframe in which you can expect to O.
Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. I will try. It really is hard to BD with so much going on. When you say to chart - do you mean buy a Basal therm. and keep track of my temp. Does it have to be first thing in the morning? I ask this because I get up between 1 & 3 a.m with Patrick every night?

Re: Any advice for me?
I don't think charting will work for you with waking up at 1 am and 3 am. I would recommend trying ovulation tests so you can improve your timing. I bought mine from here http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/ovulationtests.html
