Answer
There are many factors that can contribute to your not being able to conceive right away.
Are you overweight or underweight?
Do you eat healthy? What about exercise?
Are you under a lot of stress?

Here are a few tips that can help you conceive a little quicker (hopefully)

*Start charting your cycles. Go buy a Basal Body Thermometer from Walmart for about $10. Wake up at the same time each morning and take your temperature either vaginally or orally before you get out of bed, talk, eat, etc... Then make a chart on fertilityfriend.com and you will quickly be able to pinpoint ovulation, which is when you should be having sex.

*Know the RIGHT times to have sex. It sounds like you aren't having sex at the right time. You want to have sex at ovulation (an average woman ovulates on CD 14) and a few days before as well. Having sex right after your period and right before will not accomplish a thing. You are not fertile during that time.

*Start keeping track of your cervical mucus. When you have stretchy mucus that looks like raw egg whites is when you are the most fertile. If you don't produce enough or any at all try buying a sperm friendly lubricant called Pre-Seed. Do NOT use normal lubricants as they have the tendency to kill sperm.

*Take vitamins, especially B-50 Complex vitamins. One of the reasons I have had trouble conceiving is because I have a short luteal phase. The luteal phase is the days following ovulation before your period. I have a 28 day cycle and ovulate around CD 18 so my LP is only 10 days. 12-14 day LP is considered ideal. If you have a short LP (or even if you don't know) try taking B vitamins because they will lengthen your LP.

*Try avoiding positions standing up or woman on top. Instead try having your DH ejaculate in you doggy style or while he is on top. After he is finished try elevating your hips or laying down for 5-10 minutes to let the little swimmers get up there.

If you have any other questions feel free to shoot me an email. I know ttc is such a hard process, hang in there! Lots of baby dust to ya!

Pregnant, infected navel ring?

Q. I'm 22 weeks pregnant and I've had my navel pierced for about 2 years now. My body reacts well to piercings and I've never had any problems with my piercing until now. I've been trying to take it out for weeks since I'm pregnant now but the first time I tried taking it out I noticed a lump with puss where the piercing was, so I put it back in. Now it's gotten much worse (red, swollen, painful), and I know you should never take out the ring when it's infected because it traps the infection. And tips or advice for how to get rid of the infection fast? I have the salt the piercing place gave me but how often do I use it? Also what soap should I use and how often? I just want it to heal as quickly as possible so I can take the ring out and so it doesn't harm my baby in any way.

Answer
Take a tablespoon of lemon juice & crush an Aspirin tablet into the lemon juice. let it sit for 5 mins (it wont work otherwise). Rub the lemon juice/aspirin around the piercing (go around the top ball once or twice & then do the same for the bottom ball. close to the hole) do this 1xday for 7-10 days :)

How to get rid of stretch marks?

top tips on getting pregnant quickly image

crazycleve

I just want something that works.

Answer
1. Try Vitamin E oil: Vitamin E oil is often said to be the miracle cure for stretch marks, though one study shows that it's most effective on women who have already been pregnant before, and has not been effective in general use. Still, it can't hurt in moderate doses.
2. Use Aloe vera: Aloe vera is also known to diminish stretch marks. All you have to do is to take aloe Vera gel ,cod liver oil and if you donââ¬â¢t have cod liver oil then take vitamin E oil and apply on the stretched mark area. This is considered to be a quite a speedy process in healing stretch marks.
3. Over-the-counter-medicines: There are medicines like Mederma which are specially made to treat and handle scars. In fact, any dermatologic ally approved cream designed to reduce scars will work. Stretch marks could be classified as either hypertrophic or keloid. But, skin care medications can treat and cure either of the classifications. The healing time however, might take up to six months before any significant improvements could be noticed, but it will certainly occur.

How To Get Rid Of Stretch Marks At Home
Stretch marks are visible lines on the skin surface, with an off-color hue. Stretch marks are mainly found in the abdominal wall, but can also occur over the thighs, upper arms, buttocks and breasts. Sometimes stretch marks can cover large areas of the body. While pregnancy is the main cause behind stretch marks, other reasons can be sudden gain or loss in weight, rapid growth, heredity factors, stress and changes in physical conditions.

Stretch marks can make you feel self conscious and uncomfortable about your appearance. However, if you have got stretch marks there is nothing to worry about as you can easily get rid of them. There are several natural ways to overcome this problem.

Here are top 10 ways to get rid of Stretch Marks At Home:
Vitamin C: One of the most important roles of vitamin C is to help heal wounds and scar tissue. It is required for the synthesis of collagen, and acts as a cementing substance between skin cells. The most important role of collagen is to provide barrier for infections and diseases, and to promote healing of wounds. (Vitamin C looses its potency very quickly which can make it worthless unless used immediately. It also oxidizes very quickly when exposed to air and light. Look for vitamin C in an airtight brown glass bottle or metal tube which can block out sunlight.)

Vascular lasers or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) can be effective, but only in the very early stages of stretch mark formation. Vascular lasers work by delivering light energy at a wavelength which specifically targets the affected area. This is absorbed and then converted to heat energy, causing damage to the skin cells. The resulting healing process then leads to the stretch mark eventually fading. IPL works in much the same way, except that a spectrum of different wavelengths are used instead.
How To Get Rid Of Stretch Marks Naturally

Apply generous amount of castor oil on the affected area and rap it with a plastic bag and place a hot water bottle on it. Do it for half an hour and wash it off. This helps in treating stretch marks .Many parlors also gives sitting of this in exorbitant amount.
Castor Oil: Castor oil which is used in the treatment of a number of skin problems such as wrinkles, age spots, moles, dark spots, fine lines and pimples can also be used to quickly get rid of stretch marks. You can simply apply some castor oil to the stretch marks and gently massage the area in circular motions with the help of your finger tips. Massage for at least fifteen minutes and then wrap the area with a thin cotton cloth. Now with the help of a hot water bottle or a heating pad apply some heat to the affected area for at least half an hour. Repeat this process daily for a minimum of one month to notice positive results. :) :)
