It's common knowledge that you got pregnant sans penis and/or sperm. I was just wondering if you had any tips for me in the pregnancy department, most specifically: the getting knocked up bit. Being that I have a perfectly good penis and sperm at my disposal & have been using it/them as such, do you think maybe I should try getting pregnant without the two and see if it happens any faster, like it did for you?
Thoughts? ...oh and, thank you in advance.
xoxoxo,
Maegan
* The husband brought this amazing Virgin Mary night light home for me today. It's surprisingly hard to find online but there is one here and three here. It seems as though there is a "who can bring home the funnier item" theme in our home lately ...and he just beat my golden tree stumps.

Talk about lighting your way at night!LOL! That night light may have just done the trick!

HA! that totally looks like something my bf would buy. he's into all that religous stuff. it's the catholic boy in him.
one time he tried to bring home one of those uber large candles with the virgin mary on it. you know the kind you ONLY find in a mexican home.
uh i cut that idea REAL quick. told him, "what next? you gonna paint each wall in the house a different color and add a shrine to jesus christ? yea no."
it takes the average couple 8 months to conceive when trying for a baby. it only takes one time for an unwanted pregnancy though. go figure.
take the right vitamins, monitor your ovulation and you should have a bun in the oven in no time. they have those ovulation tests right next to the pregnancy tests.
This may be the most odd tip that you might get to be able to get pregnant, but I know that it will work, watch the "Living Matrix" movie, and you will know what I mean. Really do, I think it will be the best advice that you are going to get for getting anything that you want, but most of all, having a baby, and the reason why you haven't been able to in such a long time :)
You can watch the trailer here:

It's split into 9 parts I believe but it's really worth watching I can assure you.
Aww I hope you got pregnant soon, my best wishes.
I'm going to ask Virgin Mary for a boyfriend because it doesn't arrive :(

Best wishes though.

I know this is such a sensitive subject for many. I appreciate the feelings you've specifically shared in the past. Everyone's situation is different so I have no cliches to dole out. But I *do* want to share a great DVD I just started. It's called Restoring Fertility. It's 2 DVDs. You do the exercises they suggest during the appropriate phase of your cycle (ovulatory, follicular, etc...).
I don't know the creators of the DVD and I'm not selling it. I just know how good it makes me feel (empowered!) and I just started it.
The truth is that the more one wants, and the more he is thinking, the harder it is to have children!
your subconscious is rowing in the opposite direction to your heart!
you relax, away from your mind this thought, and not have sex to have children but do love comme act of union.
when you least think they will reach the children!
Important: neither of them should think that the problem .... there are no problems, it just takes patience!

@Patricia Rae - That was a pretty insensitive comment. It's simply not that easy for everyone and you obviously haven't read through some of Meagan's previous posts.
Meagan - all we can do is keep the faith. Unfortunately I don't have any better advice than that at the moment, struggling with the same issue!
Keep your chin up, Maegan.

I hope you got pregnant soon, my best wishes.
XO!!!
I have no wise words to share, I just wanted to say "All the best" and "Thank you for being so open with your feelings and emotions"...
Sending you positive energy over this time!
I hope you got pregnant soon, and me too... it's not so easy :-/
Good luck <3
It will happen. Just try not to stress about it to much.
<3
Hi dear!! I know it's super easy to say and very difficult to do: You must forget the stress of being pregnant right now. You must be sure that it will happen, wait, enjoy the process and don't get nervous, because sometimes it take longer than others...
Funny objet to have at home, btw!
Good luck!!! I wish you all the best :D! xoxo

Aww, Hang in there!
Have you talked to your doctor about fertility drugs? After trying for 7 months, we took one month of Clomid and got pregnant that first month.. With one one baby. LOL
LOVE YOUR HUMOR! .... your relationship with your hub - gorgeous.
My fingers are crossed for you Maegan! I really admire how open you are about your feelings on this and struggles you are experiencing. It's clear you will make a wonderful mother.

For a women who is trying to get preggers and cant I believe is the most frustrating thing ever!!
It took my hubby and I 5.5 years and part of that time was spent with fertility doctors. After I was told it was impossible and I walked away knowing that I would have our child through adoption a total peace came over me. A year and a couple months later I was so sick... could not figure out what was wrong with me. We had just had our final home study and we were waiting for placement of a child. I finally broke down and took a pregnancy test and it was positive.
I now have a beautiful little girl who is the light of my life. It took me to stop thinking and stressing and worrying, and to begin appreciating my hubby again and to enjoy our life together to relax, to laugh again to be able to conceive.
Its a very emotional process, but often removing that will help. Doctors say to try for 6 months (regularly) before seeking help (if you are over 30). Often times if you have a somewhat regular cycle the doctor can pinpoint your most fertile days. (this happened with my sister-in-law. her md said try on this day and they did and 9mos later they had a little boy).
Good luck!!! If you need to ask any questions, let me know.. i think i have tried most things and had a ton of testing.. life can definitely throw us some crazy curve balls... its all about how we catch them and move on...
My hubby and I couldn't get pregnant on our own. We turned to the fertility docs. I tried clomid for months and nothing happened. Then we went with IVF. I figured, I'd rather do IVF and have it not work, then to not do IVF and always wonder "what if?". We were lucky and got pregnant with our first try. We now have a beautiful daughter. Two years later we did a frozen embryo transfer with our remaining embryos. We now have twin boys. I am so glad we decided to give IVF a try. Yes it is a long process and you aren't guaranteed anything, but I think it's worth it to give it a shot. Then you know you are doing all you can. I know what you are going through and it is so hard. The "just don't think about it and it will happen" and the "relax" comments just don't work. Yes that happens to some people. But when you want a baby, it's hard to "just wait and relax". How long are you supposed to do that? Soooo, my thoughts are I think you should try getting pregnant without the penis...you can still use the sperm :). Good luck to you and your husband. I hope your dreams come true!
Don't stress out! It will definitely be harder to conceive if you are putting stress on the body. Just take your vitamins, keep healthy, and it will happen when you least expect it!
Good luck!
Love,
Avid Reader
Aw Maegan you know I feel your pain in a sense. It's going to be 2 years in September. We do have issues with MFI though. Still the numbers aren't that bad and we did get pregnant on our own though I miscarried. I'm on month two of fertility meds and when I started I thought of you. I never quite understood why you were so resistant to getting a little help in this department, but I understand now. I have been getting the side effects and I don't like the way it makes me feel. I do know though that I willdo whatever it takes to achieve this dream so yes I will continue for a short while anyways. It's IVF for us mid next year if it still doesn't happen. I can't keep going on like this. I don't want to spend all my good years TTC.
My dad always likes to talk about how I was conceived about 6 years of them figuring things out, lol...TMI for sure. He credits fertility green tea and my mom taking her temperature. That's all I got...it will be my time for baby making in the next year or two, so we'll see how these tips pay off!
If at first you don't succeed, try try again :)
It always happens when you least expect it! lol Keep trying hun!
Agree with Katrina on this one: everything happens in its own time. There are things in this life that are beyond our control, for whatever the reason, I'm sure we don't even really know. But I can tell you, it always happens when least expected. You're already on the right path, living a fulfilling daily life with a wonderful husband who has great sense of humor. Nature will take its course in due time. Martha above may have something there with the fertility green tea and holistic approach. Red Clover also helps to nourish the uterus and relax the nervous system, enabling conception. It is taken as a tea, daily. And get some Panax Ginseng supplements for your husband. It's worth a shot. Relax and just let go. I will keep you in my thoughts. You are an amazing and compassionate woman. :)
Luv, Rita
I have only 1 thing to say - buy this book:
Taking Charge of your Fertility
Its the best read I have purchased.... well this is a joke since I dont ever read :)
Any which way the book sheds light on more than you even know from TTC all the way to Baby and post baby for a natural source of Birth Control.
Please please go buy the book I promise you, you will thank me one day.
XOXO

Saint Anthony! My hubby wanted to find a good wife for a l-o-n-g time. At 36 he was given a statue of St. Anthony. Placed him upside down and prayed. He was very doubtful from what he tells me. We met two weeks later. We are now happily married-4 years! it's worth a shot :)
Many blessing to you both!
Love your blog :D
sending pregnancy wishes your way :) I also am reading "taking charge of your fertility" right now :)

Trying too...Been off the pill for a year. Everyone's telling us we both come from fertile genes and everyone is having babies (my younger sister is pregnant with her second). Everyone says not to stress and I spend months not obsessing, not thinking about it at all (til I get my period) but it still doesn't happen. When I did track my ovulation we had sex like 6 times in 2 days and still nothing. I thought it was going to be so simple...
Love your blog. Been following for a year! Good luck And Acupuncture worked me and the hubby. We tried for 4 years (diagnosis: unexplained infertility- yep, seriously)and now 5 yrs later we have a 4 yr old and 3 yr old. 2 other friends were successful with that too.
just breathe!
and i second buying the Taking Charge of your Fertlity book. It was a sanity saver!
I know how ya feel. I spent almost 10yrs. avoiding pregnancy & when I'm finally ready for a baby-I can't get preggo. It's frustrating, but we keep trying. It hasn't been that long for us, but nevertheless, I always thougth it would happen fairly fast. My fingers are XXX for ya!
I hear ya. It's always glad to hear I'm not the only one.
And in other news, my hubby's grandmother went through a phase where she would buy like one of those a week for hubby's mom. I think they sold them at the dollar store and she ended up with a herd of virgin mary nightlights.
