[_Me_]

My wife and I have been trying to have a kid, but only for the past two months or so, so not for very long, but have not been very successful. I was just wondering, as the guy, is there something I personally could do to INCREASE the chance of her getting pregnant? Like eat something, drink something? etc.. I already wear boxers, I heard that increases the chance somehow... Just wondering.

Two months is a very short amount of time. Are you using an ovulation predictor? I don't know your ages, but for many couples, it takes correct timing.

Your doctor can run a few tests, if you haven't gone that route already.

It takes the average couple 1-2 years of actively trying before they conceive.

At 2 months you're just starting to try.

If you think about conception it really is a miracle. Every tiny detail has to be right, everything has to line up exactly for it to happen. But, that miracle happens every single day.

So don't give up, you're just starting this journey, and until you're been in it for at least a year, with no results, there's really no reason to worry, and not many doctors that will test you for fertility issues this early on.

But, I will give you a bit of a laugh, quoting the show Friends "Why don't you get drunk, that worked for a bunch of girls at my highschool". :)

Two months is just a quick snapshot in time when dealing with conception. It takes the average healty couple up to a year or longer, in some cases, before conception actually happens.

Was she on birth control before?
