Hi there,
i wondered if anyone could answer some
questions for me,me and my partner have
been trying to conceive for four months
now.We are both in our early twenties this
is our fourth month of trying and so far
no luck yet.Anyway this month we have
tryed to have intercourse on the days I am
supposed to be most "fertile" but I must
add my cycles are 35-40dys long.Anyway I
wanted to know a few answers to some
questions.Firstly I am a fitness
instructor so I have to keep fit,i wouldnt
say I do extreme amounts of exercise
though just enough to keep me fit.I try
and watch what I eat,i rarely drink
alcohol and I dont smoke.But my partner
smokes canabis from time to time,dont get
me wrong he is not some kind of drug
dealer or anything.But him smoking
this,would it effect our chances? He is
eats well,he doesnt drink but does
occasionally smoke a cigarette or
canabis?
Im staring to get worried that maybe ther
is something wrong with me.I did come off
the pill but that was 10months ago would
that effect things? Would my exercise
effect things? My period isnt due for
another week but im feeling so anxious but
at the same time think I will be
dissaponted again this month.Some people
say they "know" they are pregnant because
they feel different,well I dont.Just very
tired.
Any advice?

not pg after a year of trying then go see
your Dr..

When I came off the pill it took me 2
years to get prego and that was trying
everyday but you may be different. The
pill stays in your system for a while. By
the way cannibus would not affect it I
don't think because of the fact most
unwanted pregnacies happen that way.

I also have long periods and have been
trying to have a baby for three years
now.I have been having my period around
cycle day 33 for the past two months so I
guess it is a lil better.I have always had
weird ones but I do have a 22 yr pld son
from my frst marriage so it can happen.

First off, too many of you woman are
trying to hard. Please don't get upset
with me, but I just watch many woman try
and try and get no where, and then they
stop trying and bamb a baby comes. The
saying goes "a watched pot never boils"
well that saying fits right into this
little problem. I tried conceaving and it
didn't happen, I didn't like how it felt
being disapointed, so I chose not to think
about it at all. I figured if its going
to happen, it will happen, and it did.
Just sit back, relax and enjoy your sex
life. Don't make it out to be a chore
having a baby. The harder you try the
more your body shuts down to having it.
The stress of trying os hard is often the
problem. I know this is eaiser said then
done because so many of you want to have
babys. But please try not to think about
it so much. It will happen when you least
expect it. Good luck to everyone, lots of
baby dust to you all!!!

due november 18th with my first baby

Just a little fyi. If your periods are,
in fact, 35-40 days long, then you most
likely ovulate around day 21-26 or so. If
you're still shooting for the "standard"
day 10-14 "fertile phase" you're missing
the mark.
You see, there are two phases in your
period - the phase between day one of your
period and ovulation will vary widely (for
me it can get to be at least a month
long!). The second phase between
ovulation and your first period day is
pretty much 14 days (very little
fluctuation there). Your best bet is to
take a typical cycle (if you're regular)
and count backwards 14 days to get an idea
of your ovulation time. Also it can't
hurt to chart and take your temperature
and or check your cervical mucus daily.
Check out taking charge of your
fertility by toni werschler ( I never
quite get her name spelling right). Arm
yourself with knowledge. Four months is
no big worry when it comes to not being
able to conceive, really.
And like the previous person says - don't
make it a chore - remember sex is fun!!
