Hi K..

I am going to get graphic here, so please excuse the TMI. I had my first son at 36 after trying this and my second son at 40. I had miscarriages in between, but it worked every time because I too was having a hard time getting pregnant otherwise.

Make sure he is on top and when he's all done, stay on your back for a while, but plant your feet up right under your rear and tilt your rear in the air. Hold it like that for about 2 minutes. Afterwords, lay on your left side for about 1/2 an hour. Don't get up at all until after you've done this.

Some people say it doesn't work, but I'm telling you it worked for me and for 3 other friends who couldn't get pregnant. We each have 2 or more kids now. I hope it works for you, and if not, I pray the Lord will bless you with your hearts desire!

I had good results with accupuncture at age 42.

Do you need to address husband's drinking before you further complicate life?

I'm not sure where you live or what your health insurance is, but I highly recommend:

He is an infertility specialist and was the "miracle worker" behind us having two beautiful daughters (ages 2 and 4 months). He has helped several other people I know as well. He only takes PPO insurances. Good luck!

Get the book, Taking Control of Your Fertility. It will give you plenty of good suggestions...

Have you ever read the book "Take Charge of Your Fertility"? I cannot remember the author but if you google it you will find it. I read that book before trying to conceive my daughter and got pregnant the first month. I know several others who used it with the similar results. It has a lot of useful information in it other than trying to get pregnant too. It is a really good book.

The other responses you have so far are great! I would add to get your progesterone levels checked if you haven't already. Women over 30 (that's me, too!) often have low progesterone, and it can be solved simply by using the OTC progesterone cream that's meant for menopausal women. For me, it meant a healthy baby girl & not another miscarriage. Well worth the price of the test & $20 worth of cream! Now, the second baby, I had no problem conceiving or carrying without the cream, even.

I was lucky enough to get PG easily at 38 and nearly 40, but before my husband and I started trying, I warned him that if we had troubles one of the first steps would be getting him tested. Yes it can be hard for some women to get pregnant, but the statistics I read say that a lot of the time there are male issues when couples are infertile. At your age, I'd be worried about wasting time with the assumption that the major issue was your age (obviously I don't know your story).
Definitely follow the information in Taking Charge of your Fertility (or on websites such as www.fertilityfriend.com) to make sure you time intercourse well. You can also keep track of whether you are really ovulating. Good luck!
