Tracking your ovulation is key. My doctor advised having intercourse on your fertile days, which is usually day 10 to 16 of your cycle if it's 28 days long.
I completely understand the longing and the hope each month brings. If you've been trying for over a year, it might be gentle to just consult a fertility specialist for basic blood tests. Hugs to you.
Eat healthy fats like almonds and walnuts, they say it improves egg quality! I literally used to eat them with my evening tea while we were trying. Keep your diet happy and stress-free.
We tried for 6 months and nothing worked till I stopped tracking 24/7. Just had regular contact every alternate day and it worked for us. Don't take stress, it really affects your hormones.
I know the waiting is so hard, I used to check tests every month. But trust me, once the baby comes and becomes a toddler, you will miss these quiet days! Just stay relaxed, stress actually delays things.
