what is the best way to get pregnant? been trying for two years and still no luck?

Question

Will excess weightweight make it harder for me to get pregnant? We have been trying for two years with no luck. I have a 3 yr old but want another.

Answer 1

See a GYN MD: There is no best way to get pregnant if you have been having unprotected intercourse x 2 years without getting pregnant. You need to find out why, by having your partner get a sperm analysis, and you seeing a gyn/infertility md specialist.

Answer 2

Seek medical help: Two years is a long time and the answer to your question can be many different things. You should seek the help of an obstetrician or a fertility specialist and begin to investigate adn see what is going on.

Answer 3

Take your time: Roll onto your side and move toward the side of the bed. Roll onto your bottom while hanging your feet over the side of the bed. Flex your feet and calves by pumping them up an down several times, this will help deliver some blood back up the heart and brain. Make sure you have something to hold while standing to remain steady. Start your day...

Answer 4

From doc on bedrest: I was on bedrest for several weeks and surprised how quickly the quad muscles of the thighs became weak. A physical therapist (rpt) at the hospital taught me this method: lie on my left side, push off the bed with my left arm at the same time i swung both legs gently over the side of the bed. Then i sat till stable and put both feet solidly on the floor before standing. Women should ask OB also.

Answer 5

Slowly: Standing up too fast from lying down can make you feel faint, more so during pregnancy. The mechanics of getting up depend on your bed and how far along you are. Going from your side to sitting generally works pretty well. Sometimes getting on hands and knees before sitting up may help some women.

Answer 6

Roll and push: Your stomach muscles are on stretch when you get big, so they really don't work very well. The best way to keep from straining them or hurting your back is to roll on your side and push yourself upright.

Answer 7

Using your arms: Once you're quite large it can be difficult to get up out of bed. Try rolling onto your side and then using your arms to push yourself upright to avoid back strain.

Answer 8

Getting Up While Pre: Getting up suddenly when pregnant can result in lightheaded or feeling faint. The best was to avoid this discomfort is move on your side, gently slide you feet to the floor, and raise your trunk slowly while continuing to sit on the bed. After a few moments you can slowly stand up. Pregnancy causes major shift in blood volumes and takes some time to cope with the hemodynamic changes.

Answer 9

Varies: Every doctor is different. Also it depends on whether or not you are high risk. In general for a low risk pregnancy you could be seen once a month until 7 months. You will be seen every 2 to 3 weeks after that until the last month of the pregnancy when you will be seen once a week.

Answer 10

PLEASE discuss with: Your doc , it depends on you and your pregnancy situation, usually every 4 weeks until 28 weeks , then q 2 weeks till 36 weeks then q 1 week until u deliver and visits in between for ultrasounds and if any issues your provider should discuss this with u at the very 1st prenatal visit.

Answer 11

Pregnancy Priority: It sounds obvious but bringing a child into our lives is one of the biggest game changers. They become a priority and this begins before conception and definitely during your pregnancy. Inquire if your OB offers extended hours? If not, then discuss this with your employer about arriving a little late or leaving a little early so you can obtain consistent prenatal care.

Answer 12

Depends on your work: Most employers should allow you some leave way in getting care. Try to be the first in the morning so the doctor isn't behind and it's making you late. It all depends on your work.

Answer 13

Is no "best" time: In an uncomplicated pregnancy, there is no reason you can't work up until you go into labor. If you experience preterm labor, significant bleeding or other complications, your doctor may restrict you earlier.

Answer 14

Personal Decision: Usually, if you are healthy and there are no complications in your pregnancy, most women can keep working up until they deliver. It is actually beneficial to stay active and may help you have an easier labor. However, there may be some restrictions put on your activity if you are having any pregnancy complications. You should ask your doctor about your individual case.

Answer 15

Education: Have intercourse on the days before, during and after ovulation (day 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) use a pregnancy kit to know when you are ovulating. After sexual activity, stay in bed with couple of pillows under your pelvis for 30 minutes. Have your partner eat healthy and exercise eat healthy, avoid alcohol and tobacco, exercise, take prenatal vitamins. Consult with your OB for advice and if religious, pray.
