Problem Conceiving?
My husband and I have a 18 month old son and now we're trying for another baby. It seems like we've tried everything and nothings working. We've been trying for over 9 months now. I don't think we need to see a fertility doctor because we had no problems conceiving our first child. Any suggestions?

I assume your first pregnancy and birth went just fine, there's nothing that could have happened with your first baby to think there may be problems conceiving another one.
I know there is only a one week window each month in which a women can conceive, right after ovulation. Which is why OBGYN's tell you not to get worried until after a year or so of trying. I would recommend your husband wearing boxers (briefs constrict blood flow and keep their testicles too warm causing a lower sperm count). Changing your diet can make a difference too; avoid caffeine, nicotine, and liquor. Try reading Fertility Foods by Jeremy Groll. Over exercise can hinder ovulation in women also.
Other than that I would relax, don't worry too much about it, have some fun with the time you have together and all will come in due time.
Good luck!
My sister had 2 ectopic pregnancies, which left her without tubes, yet she became helpful first time with IVF and has an exquisite little lady now. in case you do get pregnant obviously, tell your regular practitioner without delay as they could do an early test to work out even if that's ectopic or perhaps if that's some places can grant you with medicine that dislodge the egg so that you do not lose your very last tube. regrettably there is not any probability for the toddler even if that's ectopic, yet a minimum of you'll nevertheless have a operating tube.
You just need to get wild with him. Let loose, stop trying so hard. Do things that fulfill your fantasies and his. Stop thinking about making babies and get your groove on. Wear something sexy. Make him beg for sex, something! Get him to dress up. Go wild. It will happen.
