Where am i going wrong

Hi ladies.I have been ttc for nearly 9 months now.Every month i have my hopes up but it finally ends with af showing up.This month i thought we had intercourse on the right days but finally my period came yesterday.I have a 25 day regular cycle.I dont smoke,drink and have a healthy lifestyle.My hubby also has a very clean and healthy lifestyle.Both of us are fit and fine with all normal reports.I dont know where are we going wrong.We have been married for 2 and a half yrs and started ttc around 9 months back.I am taking evening primrose oil and folic acid regularly.For the past 2 months i make it a point to put a pillow under my butt after every intercourse but still no results.I have a confusion about 1 thing though.Every month there is 1 day when i see my cervical mucus hanging from my vagina....my doc said this marks the beginning of the fertile phase.I assume ovulation to happen in the next 2-3 days.However almost 4-5 days later there is a day in every cycle when i have bad headache and nausea.This occurs at about cd 13.Does anyone have an idea whether this could be the ovulation day.I would appreciate if anyone can provide useful tips for conceiving as i am getting depressed day by day.One of my friends said yoga helps....is it true?

Thanks for your comments.I may be going wrong with the timing.A lady in another forum suggested that i have intercourse daily from cd8 to cd 16 for improving my chances.i guess i'll follow it this month and lets see if it clicks.I want good wishes and prayers from everyone.I hope this turns out to be my month.

girl i think i know what the problem is!!!!  your TIMING!
here, you have a 25 day cycle, 14 days before your last cycle day would be CD 11!!!! that would be your O day!, when you see your CM hanging from your vagina means that O is very VERY close, i mean it could well happen that same night! or be happening at that moment! not 3 days after!!!!!!!
If I was you...i'd go and get an OPK...and start testing on CD 8! your cycle is very short and you are probably O'ing very soon after your AF is done! so, try that for a month girl, we have a girl that just got her BFP and was having the same problem than you! (Low22)...
I swear by pre-seed also! many girls here do!, i have gotten pg once after my DNC with it and this month i think i felt implantation pains......(i used it this month also)....we'll see!
Good luck to ya!

Guys implantation cramps... How do they feel like??? Are they like a constant twinge in the ovaries???
Helpful - 0

NOT IN THE OVARIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
girl! your baby will implant in the uterus! if you have pains in the ovaries then that is due to the corpus luteum, or maybe you are O'ing.......
I know everytime i get pregnant (literaly, the day i got pregnant) cuz both times (my m/c and chemical pg) had implantation cramps.......it feels like a drilling pain down in the center of your uterus......and it comes....'drills' and goes away,....it can happen 3 times, it can happen just one.... that's how i know i get preggo.....
This month... i just felt like AF cramps (very different) and this morning (around 4am) i felt the drill!!!! OH BOY!....
It does hurt....not enough to scream, but enough for you to stop whatever you are doing and say..."what the heck was that....ouch!"
Hope that helped! =)

Would love to join you sooner but it's already November and still no AF from my d&e on 9/29...doc now has a whole slew of tests to run on me and hubby....

3 m/c...they are doing karyotyping and some visual camera look inside my uterus.

Can't get pregnant again until all the blood work is done and she won't let me do that until Thanksgiving week (wants to make sure all the HCG is out of my system since still no AF)

Then the camera look isn't until mid December....ugggh.

I just don't want to worry about it and leave it to GOD but DH is concerned and wants all the blood work done.  I'm doing it to alleviate his stress....it'll make the ttc that much easier.

Ha!  I must have skipped over it in her post -- and it was like bold and underlined in yours!  Yeah, we all get it.  When I was 16 I had tons of CM -- so much that I thought something was wrong with me!  My mom ever took me to the doctor!  Turns out I was probably just really fertile that month...good thing I was a good, innocent girl back then!

Are you charting your temps to track ovulation? Some women have reported success using Vitex and Black Cohosh. They're said to have a similar effect on the brain as Clomid. Have you asked your doctor about ordering any tests for you?

My DH had his semen analysis done and his report came back normal....infact the count,motility etc. was excellent.

Yoga is good for alleviating stress, so it might help that way. There's so many things that can affect fertility. Is your luteal phase longer than 12 days? Maybe the problem is with your dh. Have you checked into having a semen analysis done? Even healthy men can have a low count, or low motility, morphology, etc.
