Trying to conceive

I already have a 2 year old. But I've been wanting to have another child and I don't know what's wrong . I have sex almost everyday or almost every other day. Is there anything that I can do to help increase my fertility. I'm willing to try anything my daughter is getting close to be in school so I would like to start a new addition to the family for her . Also was wondering after having children are women's bodies different and some take longer to conceive than others just very curious of to why I haven't had another one yet.

Good advice Special Mom!  Same thing works in reverse when you do not want to get pregnant.
  When you are ovulating you will have a slight clear very elastic discharge. Check for that!

Hi there.  Well, as you are finding, conceiving is a mystery and not always straight forward.  Women can have one baby and then have trouble getting pregnant again.  However, doctors often feel that it takes a minimum of 6 months to conceive and up to a year for most couples who are trying.  

The best way to conceive is to track your cycle.  The first day of your period is cycle day one.  On cycle day 10, begin having sex EVERY OTHER day for the next 10 days.  That is the best way to catch the egg.  The every other day intercourse is for sperm count.  

good luck
