came off the pill 12 months ago and my husband and i are trying for a baby,
yet nothing has happened? should it take this long to conceive or it is time to
seek professional help

'Ok, 12 months, don't worry. my wife and I were tring for nearly as long. We tought that it would never happen, even thought we were going at it like rabbits, so much so that it was feeling loke a chore.

Do view you love making like this, enjoy it. Try and forget about trying for a baby. Getting wound up may be causeing you not conseive. It will happen, be positive.

Most importantly, enjoy your sex.'

Do you listen to Ray d'Arcy by any chance? He was talking about this the last two mornings with loads of people texting / emailing in who are in your exact situation or far, far worse. Maybe you'd get some comfort from listening to the podcasts on the website?

I think Relaxtime's advice is as good as you can get. Don't make sex about trying to conceive and just let nature take it's course.

Stop thinking about making babies (I know easier said than done) and get you and your husband away for a weekend to yourself. Eat great food, drink great wine, laugh like drains and if you feel like making love do so, if you don't then don't. But relaaaaaaaaaaaaax, and let nature take its course. Good luck

I would enjoy it. But if it concerns you, read up a little. I seem to remember something about every other day is better for him than everyday, cause it allows him to become more fertile. Something about maturation...?

I suppose it can't do any harm to get checked out by a doctor.
Apart from that, just keep at it - a few times a day until U get a bfp !
