  1. Q1. it has been stated that worrying does affect your chances on conceiving. i tried for 3 months and the 3rd month didn't even think about it and i was able to fall pregnant easily and i have endometriosis!

    Q2. boxers and other types of underwear for hubby makes no difference really.

    The most important thing is for u and hubby to be happy people and to have healthy diets and get some regular exercise.

    Just keep trying and if its meant to happen then it will happen. otherwise go to the doc to see if there may be any medical reasons why you can't fall pregnant. also get ur husband to be checked up as well.

    good luck!


  2. honey stress will stop alot of things we won't to happen!!
