hints on conceiveing...well with my first pg, we tried for four years to
get pg...didn't knkow I had endo at the time, and went into the hospitol
with pelvic pain (which I had since I started myy period at age 10).
they did a laprascopy on me and found endometriosis on me right ovary.
they removed it, and we conceived in a week.:)
before that we tried everything...
I guess the missionary position is suppose to encourage the swimmers to
go in the right spot..also if you lay on your side after ic, you allow
the swimmers more time to get up there..
my husband switched to boxers, the whitey's make it too warm for the
swimmers to survive.
with liberty our daughter, I took clomid right off the bat.
and we conceived on our first cycle.
if you have endo on your ovaries, like I had it makes it very hard to
conceive obviously, because it is restricting the egg from releasing.
I suggest clomid..it was the easiest thing I have ever done.
