Here's ur offical welcome to the tcc club!! It's a great feeling getting the show on the road isn't it?!
Try and be patient - you'll know from reading other posts that it doesn't always happen straight away. Give yourself at least 6 months - then if it happens sooner, fantastic!!
As for tips, you probably don't need any but if you want to try the following there's a little evidence to show they can improve ur chances:
- missionary position (there's no way I'D even stoop this low, even if we've been trying for 4 months!! BORING!!)
- put a pillow under your bum for up to 20 mins after the deed (this gives the sperm a little helping hand on their way)
- don't use any lubricants - including saliva, vaseline etc. (apart from pre-seed) as they kill sperm
Good luck and have fun!

thats great newlywed, hope you have a speedy ttc, iv read to put pillows under your bum to raise your hips after sex is supposed to help the swimmers, but everyone has their own ideas, fingers x.
