on to the 8th month of trying...

Any ideas if theyres ways to help improve my partners sperm count/strength and also my eggs. I ovulate every month and we have regular sex up to this, and we have sex on the day before i ovulate, the day and also the day after.  we tried having sex every other day, every three and every day. with nothing happening. We are really struggling to keep positive and we relax in the 2 week wait. I have two kids from a previous relationship and my partner is thinking the problem is him.
Please can some one help us with suggestions

Hey smithjulie, i dont think we can conclude it as your partner. its good if he can get his semen tested. its a simple test.

If you haven't started one I would recommend the ovulation tracker here. You can moniter your bodies signals that its going to ovulate..ie your basal body temp (first temp of the morning before you do anything at all) and your cervial mucus...also if that doesn't work you can buy over the counter ovulation detector kits. If it is your husband then are you sure he is taking the right vitamins? Men need zinc to help encourage sperm growth. I think most over the counter men vitamins have it. You can also get one that is meant for male fertility. There is also a lubricant the is called pre-seed that is supposed to help keep the sperm a live longer. Your husband might also want to get checked for low sperm count or see if there is any underlying issues..Some couples take up to a year to conceive. Good luck!

Just because u ovulate you may not be ovulating" well".  Have you had a day 21 progesterone test to check?  If not request one.  If the level is low u may need a little medicine to help.  Good luck
