I think stress can be a major factor.

If you are stressing about ttc, how about finding a hobby or some distraction therapy mto take your mind off it. Failing that try to pamper yourself, have a bath, eat some chocolate, watch a funny dvd. It can all help if you are calmer.

A lot of women have said that they fall pregnant once they relax and stop stressing.

Good luck

thanks
i do that but i do have ajob that i find causes me a great deal of stress and i often have no time for breaks or lunch so healthy eating is a problem too. i wondered if there was anything I could take to stop me stressing!
I have thought about resigning from my post but risky with credit crunch.is a big risk all over.
in fact find myself trying to avoid stress so much that that causes me anxiety!

hmm, not sure if I can help on the job front. Have you tried rescue remedy?

We have found that really helps if we are anxious about something. Other than that camomile tea has helped me relax as well.

But check the packaging etc to make sure the above are safe in pregnancy, if in doubt ask a pharmacist or doctor.

What about exercise? It releases loads of endorphins and keeps you fit at the same time too, a good start for ttc!
