    It's been a few months for my wife and I. Still nothing.

    like the first time for both my boys. the second time she was even on the pill. We weren't really trying for either of them. but can't be happier. I must be potent.

    My wife and I are MEXICAN, so... FERTILE AS CAN BE. :eek:

    The first one wasn't planned but it happened and we welcomed her as a blessing. As soon as we planned the second one, BLAM! It happened. Although I wished my girls were closer in age, we waited 2 years in between. I want MORE, though, but financially, it's tough. Damn you, GAS! :D
    I aplaud you, sir. Maybe let Vecsey have a shot at it if YOU can't do it? ;)

    Seriously, this thread has made me feel a LOT better. I guess I was naive to think the first month you started "trying" would be the month it happened. We're going on month #3 and still nothing but a couple of false alarms.

    Oh well...I guess I get a 4 day reprieve now (just in time for the playoffs!) -- then it's back to the grind [pun intended]...

    ... that's what she said
    See... if I may say so, I believe that your approach to this is "LET'S TRY TO HAVE A BABY" instead of "let's enjoy our moment together by having some candlelight dinner... be together... enjoy each other... [yadda yadda yadda]" and BLAM! It will happen. Trust nature. It is much better if you approach it in a loving way instead of a purpose "just to have a child" thing. You two will enjoy it a lot more.

    "Accidents" are more prone to happen than "trying to make a baby"... I think.

    We saved a bunch of money upfront and then tried to no avail. Years of procedures and goofy remedies, but nothing. We finally gave up and spent all our savings on new bedroom furniture. The week after our new bed was delivered, my wife was preggers with daughter #1. We tried after that for a few years, even saved up a bit of money, but nothing. We finally gave up and blew our money on a Disneyworld vacation. During the vacation, we conceive daughter #2.

    My advice to anyone struggling... give up and spend a lot of money. It worked for us.

    (I did learn that my boys can swim.)

    It took us one big month! :D We wished for her and God got right on it!
    But seriously, good luck! My sister-in-law has been trying for 1-2 years and still isn't yet. My advice is... do it everyday, because that worked out pretty good. :)

    Dont concentrate on it happening...just enjoy your wife. It will happen when it happens. Enjoy the wife while you can man. There are other options too.

    WORD!

    What if Bagwell had taken one swing then...nevermind.


    My son took us about 7 months, we too were naive & thought it'd happen quicker. My wife had been on the pill for like 8 years, so that's a thing too.

    A little over a year. My wife has ovulation issues, though. By the end she was taking some drug that was supposed to force her to ovulate more regularly. Let me tell ya, imma, if this is the option you go to, be prepared. When she was on this stuff each month, it was like PMS x10. She was bat**** crazy all the time, would explode in anger over the smallest things and start crying over even less. It was so bad that the month we finally got pregnant, she told me if it didn't happen then, she was getting off those pills because she couldn't take another round of the stuff.

    Oddly enough, she took a hormone blood test from her doctor after the last round that told her she didn't ovulate. She got all depressed and went out clubbing with her friends where she got ****-faced drunk. Turns out, she DID ovulate and was already pregnant at that time. Hope that night of over-indulgence doesn't effect the little guy too much. There's a relevant Simpsons quote here, methinks.

    Well, dunno if this is TMI but my gyno said the pill doesn't affect the fertility after the chick stop taking the pill. I guess we all will see when it's my case or i need a new gyno.

    We are 2 for 2. First one we lost @ about 2 1/2 months. Tried again within a month or so and the rest is history.
