I feel your pain. My husband and I have been trying for a year too without any luck. I have a regular cycle and am healthy and so is my husband. I think its got a lot to do with just relaxing about it. I seem to get anxiouse during 2ww and I am sure it isnt helping anything. So I started trying different things to take my mind off of it. Reading has helped the most. Hoping your time comes soon! Baby Dust

This is only our second month of trying but I have done a lot of research before we started. If I were you I would only consume organic dairy and meats (they contain hormones that can mess up your natural balance. This is why girls are hitting puberty a lot sooner now a days!). Eat full fat dairy; milk, yogurt etc. Lower your animal protein intake and increase your plant protein like beans, lentils, split peas and almonds (except soy). Soy contains phytoestrogen which can mimic your own estrogen throwing everything off balance. Cut out trans fats (fast food and margarin). These are causing huge health problems in the USA. Take a quality omega 3 like Carlson brand. This helps with brain function and ah hem mojo!

My health has increased so much after making these changes. I also started exercising with an actual program so that I'm doing the same amount of exercise. I also take maca maca root which is an ancient fertility remedy. There is a tea called FERTILITEA which contains Chastaberry and red raspberry leaf which help your reproductive system and increases cm! Good luck. Give it a try.

It must be so hard to still be trying after a year, but it will happen, try to stay strong and positive every time. This is only my 2nd month trying and i cant imagine how difficult it has been for you.
