Dear Mrs. Ali, Your issue needs to be discussed on various aspects. 1. You are 37 years of age. At this age, the frequency of egg release is rather less and irregular. Moreover, every released egg may not be healthy. 2. To have assured egg release (ovulation), you doctor is giving you Tab. Kerosene, which is camphene citrate. These medicine induces ovulation. These tablets should not be taken for more than 6 months. Though the ovulation rate with tablets is good, the pregnancy rate is not that high. After trial of six months if you do not conceive, you may have to change over to HMG/Chat Doctor combination. If you are taking these tablets for 5 days from the day 2 of cycle, please subject yourself for ovulation monitoring by ultrasonography from day 9 of the cycle. It will help you to spot the day of ovulation. Then you may plan your intercourse keeping in mind that egg has life of 24 hours and the sperms are active for 72 hours. The eggs released from the follicles of size between 18 mm to 21 mm are the healthiest eggs. Also, it is very important to note the thickness of the uterine lining (endometrium) at the time of ovulation. Endometrium of thickness between 09 and 13 mm is the most conducive endometrium for the implantation of fertilized egg. If your endometrium is remaining thinner, then request your Gynecologist to work upon increasing endometrial thickness by use of Estrogenic preparation before induction of ovulation. Camphene citrate is known to affect endometrial thickness due to its anti-oestrogenic action. 3. If you have got any reproduction infection, its needs to be cured before you attempt for conception. Infection creates a hostile atmosphere for the sperms. Usually, when women have any infection of reproduction tract, their partners also have it, leading to repeated infections. Hence, it is advised that both of you get the treatment simultaneously. 4. The vaginal wash you are taking with baking soda will create more detrimental atmosphere in the vagina since it is alkaline in nature. If at all you want to have a perineal wash or vaginal douche for healthy vagina, please use some Lactobacillus preparations like Lactated. This will help cure the vaginal infections as well as will create a very healthy vaginal environment for the sperms also.  5. Since you already have 2 kids, there should not be any issue with the sperms; however considering the problem you are facing with conception, it is a good idea to get semen examination performed. I hope this should give you sufficient guidance to motivate you to caste a \"Helpful vote\" for me. If you want any more information, you may ask me Direct question.
