Are there natural and inexpensive ways to get pregnant?

Are you charting your cycles at all? There are sites online like YourDays.com and FertilityFriend.com that can help trach your cycles, and see when you are ovulating by monitoring your basal body temperature.

You could also try ovulation prediction kits to be sure you are ovulating and time having sex for the correct time.

If you’ve been trying for a year, you should talk to your doctor so they can check your hormone levels and do a semen analysis on your husband to be sure you are both fertile.

My wife and I had this issue… (At least we felt it that way after many ‘unsuccessful’ months.)

From what we learned, besides from going through the medical circus, chances are best improved by finding out your approximate moment of optimal fertility through your monthly cycle. [You can do that by taking your temperature and filling out a temperature chart (see link for example), for instance.]

Once you know that particular moment, try to have as much sex with your husband as possible around that moment.

That in the end worked for us.

Time your cycles and then remain lying down for at least 30 minutes after sexual release.
You can also go ‘bottoms up’...resting with your upper body face down and your rear in the air for maximum assistance of the sperms journey.

I became pregnant on the 3rd try by using these methods.

Good luck.

Does he wear boxers or briefs? Boxers are better for temperature regulation.

My mom always had a method and she has 5 kids so it must work?! After she would remain laying on her back and put her feet in the air. She said it helped the sperm on their way to the egg. I have no clue if that is fact or old wives tale.

There is truth to that. Every woman knows that if she jumps up the minute after sex that most of the ejaculate runs down her legs.

The ‘trick’ is to time ovulation along with remaining at rest.
The mucus in the vagina is primed and thinned to make the sperms journey easier, and, don’t forget, sperm can live up to 3 days, sooo, even if you are slightly off the exact moment of ovulation, which is impossible to predict anyway, the little buggers, once they arrive are just waiting at the hotel fallopian. lol

I ovulated at around 17 days so if you are like I was you may be missing your time.

Benny Hill had a good suggestion: Put more men on the job.

Have your husband wear boxer shorts, and the two of you take a cruise. And, no, I am not kidding!

Remove any and all stress around you and stop the worry about it.
I have known so many people that once they give this up, it will just happen.
Stress can cause many things, but do make sure that each of you are capable. As long as both guns are loaded and ready, the rest is up to powers outside our control.
The other thing that helps is:
Practice, practice, practice, practice

Along with all of the above, check what infertility tests your insurance offers. A sperm motility test is quick and easy, for example. Also, how old are you two?

I would say to ask the dr. and both of you get checked out. Me and my wife had to do this after a year of trying (after 2 miscarriages). We went artificial and were lucky enough to get pregnant on the first try. Everyone’s situation is different though so see the doctor.

If all else fails, give up for 2 months and relax, do it for fun (with no protection, of course). Worked for us.

there could be a medical issue that has to be resolved. See your doctor and ask for instructions from her.

We are going to try a few suggestions before we go threw fertility tests and every thing. And I am 20 he is 28.

I read somewhere that during your ovulation time, you should have sex every other day instead of every day in order to replenish the sperm.

20?
Well kiddo, you have another 20 years on the long end of the spectrum, no sweat.
