This might not be of any help to you, but I've heard that it sometimes happens when you 'stop trying'. You know just let it happen naturally. Dont think so hard about what you're doing, and let mother nature do her job! Good luck!

My mum always said if you wanna get pregnant then do a head-stand after sex. Or raise your legs and lower body against a wall. That way your just helping the swimmers along by giving them a boost towards the right direction. It sounds real silly i know but it worked for me. I'll be trying it again in another week when i ovulate so hope it works again. All the best!!

Do you know when you are ovulating and are you charting BBT?

Hi there

There are actually only two truly fertile days in a month you can concieve and sex for about a week before those two days are the best to try (if you know what they are?)

For most couples your age it can take about 6 months (it goes up to over 80% in a year) - most couples do need to try for a little while and that is perfectly normal - the more fun you have trying the sooner it happens.

If you are not aware of your ovulation date, try working back 14 days from when you expect your next menses - and then you can get fairly cheap ovulation prediction strips off ebay to start using about day 11 after your menses starts - they have full instructions. Also look up about charting your basal body temperature and some free trial software called "Taking charge of your Fertility" - its taken all the stress out of trying for me and given me lots to do when I get restless and impatient about results - best of luck to you though Smile

Posted: 09-15-08 00:13am

I am a 28 year old woman I got my period when I was ten. And then about 12 it stopped and I maybe had a cycle 3-6 times ayear until I was 17. I have nwver been pregnat. I thought I was once but it was hormonal. I played sports from 6- 12 grade. I don't have a cycle. I get side affects and symptoms during the time i am suppose to be on my period. Is there any thing i can do to get pregnant.And can I still get pregnat if I don't have a cycle?

Its possible but you would have many problems unless you go to see your doctor about restoring your estrogen and progesterone balances (which will give you regular cycles and you can tell you when you ovulate). There may be other reasons for you not having a cycle and its a good reason for you to find out what it is if you are wanting a baby. Sometimes you will be able to conceive but because of something like low progesterone you will simply misscarry before your next cycle.

You can do a bit of research on women with no cycles but everyone is so different I cant recomend highly enough that you find a good doctor to help you so that you can both conceive plus carry a healthy pregnancy. Very
Happy good luck and I wish you all the best!
