Hi there! I am 22 and just finally pregnant with my first (my husband and I tried for about 6 months, married for 3 years). Both of our doctors (and my gyno) told us that it was best for the womans system to wait at least 3 months off the pill. They say it take about 3 months for all the hormones the pill substituted into your body to flush out and for your body to be able to replace on it's own. It is possible to get pregnant earlier or while on the pill, but according to the doctors in my area it is safest to wait until your 3rd month off the pill!Some pointers we got from our doctors were...For him - make sure he wears lose fitting underwear like boxers, this helps keep him cooler down there. Make sure if he has a sitting job, that he gets up and gets his circulation moving ever 2 hours or so for about 10 minutes (my husband has a computer job so he sits a lot while at work, and has an hour commute both ways to and from work), tell him to avoid hot baths, showers, hot tubs or saunas, something that isn't proven but is said to help is before having sex have him drink a cup of coffee or something high in caffiene (said to help if he has slower swimmers). When having sex, do it with him on top and put a pillow under your butt. This helps the sperm travel more quickly to where it needs to be, also after sex, stay on your back for around 20 minutes slow swimmers take longer to reach their destination! For you don't drink caffiene, eat a lot of dark green vegitables, and don't stress, if you are worried about it or stressed at all, a lot of times your body senses that and you will not be able to get pregnant. It is supposed to be a fun time in your life, enjoy sex and have fun! That is the most important thing!We started having sex every other day of the month (or so) I ended up getting pregnant like 5 days before my period so I have a really weird ovulation schedule, something else you can do is buy those ovulation strips you pee on and find out when you are ovulating. Still best to have sex every other day because this helps his sperm count rise, start a few days before you ovulate because his sperm can stay in your system for 5-7 days. Hopefully this will help you guys out... Don't give up! My friend just had her baby, and it took them 14 months to conceive!!! The timing ended up being such a blessing so just keep at it and when it's meant to be it will happen!! Good luck my prayers are with you!!!!**HUGS** Toni Lynne
