Help!!!!! I Can't Get Pregnant!!!

Why do you want a baby? How long have you been tryin? Any history in the family?
My sis was desperate for a family, and after 2 years trying she decided she couldnt have kids naturally and went for ivf and it didnt work, she was gutted as she couldnt afford another session. Six months later she was pregnant with twins, just goes to show!

If you have long irregular cycles you could have hyprothroidism which is easily managed by medication... (it requires a blood test) you may also have pcos... Which causes annovulatory cycles that are usually painful. I would go see your ob/gyn and ask for an infertiltiy work up. But be warned that most healthy couples can try up to a year without getting pg before dr's like to intervene. If you try charting it will help you understand your cycle much better and help pinpoint any problems

Im not sure if this will help being you have irregular cycles, but the next time you get your period count 10 days from the first day you got it on the tenth day you should be fertile have sex like crazy for each day for the next 7 days, each day you are more fertile than the first on the 7th day is when you are ovulating or go to www. Babycenter.Com click on the ovulating test that will give you a more precise days I decide last month that I wanted to try for a child went on to that site had sex when it said I was fertile and now im a week late, good luck I ll say a prayer

The above post is innaccurate. You ovulate about 14 days before your period starts. day one of your period until the day you ovulate is the time it will vary the most. Ovulation day until day one of your period is a more accurate 14 days long. If you plan on it being day 10-14 being your fertile time, you will miss the mark. On your 2 month cycle, your most fertile time will be about 6 weeks after your period (this is very rough).

If you want a source for this information www.Tcoyf.Com tells you all and more than i've just said. It's a great resource, and it (and the book) has helped so many women concieve - including my sisters and her friends.

I have cycles about like you, (they can last 6 -9 weeks) and i've been pregnant twice. Long cycles don't mean you're infertile.

I am agree with what you say.. You are right counting back when we are ovulated is about 2 weeks when we started our period. That is right. The only things is we dont know when we ovulated. I am planing to have a baby since last year sept. But still I am not pregnant yet I went for scanning doctor says everything is ok and we have conception on my ovulation day too but still I am not pregnant..I wonder what is happening...Do you have any idea ?? Thanks

Rinchan, my best advice would be, to not worry too much about it. I know it's easier said than done, but many women who stress and try to plan intercourse at "the right time" find that they conceive on a day when sex is more unplanned and when they're just "having fun" with it. It can take about 2 years for a healthy normal couple to conceive (despite what fertility doctors say - those drugs and procedures make them big money for not so big results). You'll be fine, maybe just try to relax abotu it, and maybe even try not to think about it too much (maybe try that for a few months, relaxation and having a good time about sex).

Good luck!

Hi thanks so much for your advice....I will try to relax as much as I can ...Thanks :p

I dont have any advice, just wanted to wish you luck on getting pregnant!! Btw, how old are you? How long have you been with your boyfriend?

My pds were like that. 1 1/2 month to 2 months between each period. But I was 17 at the time. Sounds like your body needs to adjust and grow into a normal cycle. I had been diagnosed with endometriosis, had most of it removed, then became pregnant 6 months afterwards. My husband and I tried for three years before that. Be patient and enjoy life while you still can. You will enjoy life more after you have children- but you will miss the alone time- but you will realize it after you have a baby clinging to your leg- to the bathroom cooking- checking the mail. After four- they are a dream come true. But by then you will spend most of your time providing for them- time will fly by. Now i'm 33- was 17 just yesterday.

Hello i'm an ob nurse and I read some of your reply's and you must
know that it can be harder to get pregnant if your cycles are irregular
it can take up to 12 to 18 months for two helathy adults to conceive
but you have been given inacurate responses ovulation usually takes
places 14 to 18 days after the first day of your periof but if you have
history of being late that could even be wrong it all depends on your cycles some women it can even be 20 days I would suggest maybe trying
an ovulation kit you can get that at wal mart but also remember this
that a lot of times worrying about it can put you under stress witch
can make it harder for you to get pregnant so stop worrying and make
it fun and it will happen promise :d if you have any more questions
about it feel free to e mail me

good luck

Women ovulate at different times of the month. Just because some/most women ovulate blank amount of days after their cycle does not mean that is when you ovulate.
Just relax and have fun! It will happen!

Unfortunately a few poster's here would have you believe (regardless of their supposed postion) that you should count forward from your period - sure thats easier to do but so much more likely to be incorrect.

Firstly you really do need to chart your cycle (most doctors will want this so they can help) - they may not be as irregular as you think (what I mean is they may be different from the associated norm but you might find they are actually 42 day cycles [my mum - 3 kids] or some other number).

Then when you have a good idea of your cycle the norm is to count back approx 14 days (most women will get a temp rise around then).

You fertile time is from a few (some say 5 some say 3) days before to a couple of days after, this time.

It ironically does seem that the harder you try the harder it is to get pregnant - especially when you look at all the young girls who get pregnant their first time round.

Try to relax and enjoy the sex rather than concentrating on baby making.

That was my sucess - after 3 years of not trying to prevent getting pregnant, I thought maybe I couldn't have kids and so laid back and enjoyed and here I am 8weeks tomorrow
oops long post sorry

Yes I have a similar question also... Is there any meds or foods I can eat to get pregnant? I've been trying to get preg for 6 months now and can't! Please help!!!

Six months is nothing! Start worrying when you've been trying for 2-3 years. If you've only been trying for 6 months, then you've only had 6 chances to get pregnant, _if_ you ovulated every single time, which many women don't. My aunt tried for a child for 13 years. She went on fertility drugs, had failed ivf, and when she gave up, she got pregnant naturally and now has a 10 year old son.

A healthy diet, folic acid supplements, and a healthy sex life, as relaxed as possible home-life, as little other stresses as possible.
Just enjoy trying, the harder you try the more difficult it seems to get.
