Ok ... I have been trying for 7 months now to get pregnant and it's NOT working! The timing is right I think, ovulation wise. What are some common problems concieving and should i be getting worried??? help!

Here's the BEST piece of advice! Ready????? STOP. . . .TRYING! Just have sex normally (if you're of legal age), and it'll happen NATURALLY! "Trying" can actually lend to "preventing it", believe it or not!

A lot of the time, the "trying" part is what makes it not work! It can be stressful, and that makes it difficult. You could always try that ovulation thing that you can pick up at walmart. It's made by one of the pregnancy test companies and is supposed to tell you when the best time is. You'd find it right with the pregnancy tests! Or you might want to make an appt with your dr for a checkup and get some blood work and a physical just to make sure you're all healthy (it's a good idea anyway). Generally, though, I wouldn't worry...these things happen when they are supposed to!

You may think this is crazy but it is not from me it is from medical people.

By swallowing your husband/SO seman, your systems immune system will sccept his sperm and not attack the sperm of your husband as much. Because your immune system is designed to protect your body and sperm is a foreign matter it attacks and kills much of the sperm. If your immune system doesn't recognize your husbands sperm as that much of an enemy more sperm is available to impregnate your eggs.

This may help but it may not be the only reason or problem. Your husband may have a low sperm count or there may be some other problems as well. You need to cover all the bases.

to begin, just relax.
If you were once on birth control before you started trying it will take a while, it did for me.
just jave sex when you feel like it, dont count on dumb tests.
One thing that helps oddly enough, if you spend alot of time with other pregnant women or small infants your body and not just your mind, starts to want a baby and get's ready for it.
b vitamins help too. ( they also reduce stress)

Be patient. Even if you do everything exactly "right" you don't always get pregnant. Don't worry about it... yet. Stress and worry can actually make it harder for you to become pregnant. If after a good bit longer than 7 months you still are not successful, you can check with your doctor to have tests run to see if there is anything wrong. However, most of the time there is nothing wrong and it's just taking a while.

My husband and I tried for about a year and a half for our second, and she was just born two weeks ago today. We got pregnant shortly after we decided to just relax about it and enjoy trying.

Weight is a factor in getting pregnant. Women who are too fat or too skinny tend to have problems with pregnancy. Diet is a factor, too. That's all I really know off the top of my head.

Couples aren't generally accepted as fertility patients until they have tried for at least 12 months.

There are many factors in ability to get pregnant, including age, smoking, disorders (such as poly-cystic ovarian syndrome, or a history of sexually transmitted disease such as chlamydia), hormonal imbalance, malnourishment, low or high body mass index, low-sperm count, and not trying at quite the right time.

To make sure you are getting intimate at the right time, you can try charting your basal body temperature. (Many drug stores sell basal body thermometers for just this purpose.) With this method, you take your temperature first thing in the morning, before you get out of bed, and before you even speak. Try to take it at basically the same time each morning (preferably within a half hour of your normal aking time to prevent temperature change), and after at least 5 hours of sleep. You can take it orally, vaginally or rectally, but make sure you use the same method each time throughout your cycle. Watch for a temperature change (up or down, women vary) by at least .4 degrees. It's usually a agood day to try for a baby. Keep record of your results to look for patterns.

Check your cervical mucus. If it looks like egg white, it's usually a good indication you're ovulating.

You can try an ovulation test, sold at most drug stores. They are found to be pretty accurate.

It may be a wise to have a sperm count done as well. Your partner can check with his primary care physician for this test to be ordered.

If in the next five months you don't conceive, ask your gynecologist to refer you to a fertility doctor they know or have worked with in the past. Your gynecologist may even have some suggestions as to what you could do further to help you on your way.

Good luck! I wish you well.

I know how you feel. I am in the same situation and know how frustrating it is. I have read so much on the interntet now because I am thinking that there is something that we are doing wrong! I bought some of those ovulation predictor tests and they do predict the 2 most fertile days. They say though,even healthy couples may take up to a year to concieve. 85% will get pregnant within the first year if you are under 30. The rate goes down after that. I know it is frustrating month after month dealing with the disappointment, but hang in there and keep trying. I say after a year (if you are under 35) go see a doc. If you are over 35 they say go in like after 6 months. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!

Go and see a doctor who can do some blood tests and give you a real answer.
