First 8-9 months is not that long. Second, its hard because there are a number of conditions that have to be met for conception. Issues of timing, penetration, sperm motility etc. all play a part in the sperm finding and fertilizing an egg.

I would not get up and go to the loo immediately after sex. Lie in bed with your hips raised for at least 15 minutes. If, after a year of trying, you still haven't conceived, then you both need to see a doctor.

Scott is right when he says 8-9 months is really no time at all, it can depend on what type of contraception you were using before trying there are so many different factors to think about its mind boggling.
Just remember it only takes one sperm to get pregnant so worrying about what comes out is pointless.
Are you aware of when you are ovulating??

I'm certain that holding your hips up is useless advice. Early humans never did this and they got pregnant just fine.

No I've never been on the pill, when me and my partner use 2 have sex in the early stages of our relationship he just used a condom for protection. My body isn't getting use to not having the pill or anything. I think I will give it another 3-4 months then go and see my doctor and see what she says I should do. How do u know when the best time is to have sex?

Early humans didn't do a lot of things that we have found can be helpful. When my wife and I were trying to conceive, this was one of the things our fertility specialist told us to do. Granted it may not be necessary in many cases. I've know women who get pregnant seemingly just be looked at by a man ;). My uncle announced after getting married that he planned on having 4 kids, girl-boy-girl-boy all within 18 months of age and he did!

But when trying to conceive, ANYTHING that might help (and doesn't hurt) should be tried. I can't see where laying in bed with the hips up hurts anything and since the possibility exists that it might help, its worth doing. Its got to be better then going potty immediately afterwards.

Try charting your cycles at Ovulation Calendar and Ovulation Chart - FertilityFriend.com if you aren't charting already. It's a wonderful site.

Well, when I was trying to get pregnant (pretty much since the first month that I started dating Jon) we had lots of sex and the test were always negative.

Then, in April, I googled information on trying to get pregnant and little things you can do, like laying with your hips elevated for about 15 minutes, and in may I found out I was nearly a month pregnant.

So I strongly disagree, I think it helps. And even if not, it sure doesn't hurt. :)

Best advice I can give... STOP trying:) Im serious! The more you try, you stress yourself out, and when you stress yourself out you won't conceive.. Just enjoy your life and partner and it will happen eventually.. If you are regular it is relatively easy to determine when you most likely ovulate... but try not to worry too much and it will happen:) I finally stopped worrying about it after 6 months of trying and I am now 6 weeks pregnant with my first:) Good luck and baby dust to you!
