Hello! I am newbie

Hi Everyone

I have been ttc for a little over a year now. As we haven't told any friends or family (due to added pressure etc) it feels so nice to finally be able to chat to people about it!
We have been having unprotected sex for over a year and actively trying for about 10 months. I have given up with ovulation tests i find they added stress!!
I do everything by the book, even put on over a stone as was underweight so now my BMI is 'normal' i swim twice a week, eat healthy, never drink or smoke, take vitamins etc. My partner has cool bath, loose boxers, vitamins and also is healthy and excercies. doesnt drink or smoke.
He does find it hard to have 'fun' for more than two days in a row. and often feels presure. we have tried home insemination for past two months.
Can anyone suggest anything else??
We have booked holidays etc and my job is going great which is keeping me going and not allowing me to stress (well not much!!). i just find it frustrating and the two week wait kills me!!
Anyone had luck with home insemination?
Thanks all, feels a huge relief to finally talk about it!!
I am 23 and my partner is 27. We are very much in love, have bought a house (with a empty spare room!!) so this would just complete us

Hiya

You know sperm need a couple of days to restock numbers and can live inside you for upto three days?

So sex everyday really isn't essential and might even have a negative impact, apparently also on your poor hubby

Good luck, you've come to the right place anyway

Thank you, it is so nice to finally talk to someone else!! (Love my partner obviously!!)
we have tried everyday, every other, 3 times a week - you name it!!
Just hope i will get a BFP soon x
