can I Still Get Pregnant ???

I have experienced the same problem. I have been off the pill for about a year now, and my fiance and I are trying to conceive a baby. We have been trying for the past 5 months. At first I thought that there was something wrong with me because of taking the pill. So for everyday for the last 5 month we have had unprotected sex, on average 5- 7 times a day. I wish I had some advice for you, I was wondering if anyone does have any advice to help both of us!!
Good luck and godbless

This can really be a timing issue. I was trying to conceive for 3 months before it finally happened. I would first suggest trying to find out what time of the month you ovulate. Then try having sex a day or two before ovulation and on the day you're supposed to ovulate. I always tracked my ovulation by the consistency of my normal discharge. (i know it sounds gross) if it's clear-milky white and is extremely stretchy, that's a sign of ovulation. Have sex immediately!! Most women ovulate about 2 weeks from the 1st day of their last period. But this can vary.
Also, try not to have sex too frequently during the month if you're trying to conceive. Try to focus around your ovulation time to have sex. This will make sure that his ejaculations are potent and powerful.
If you've tried for at least six months and have been unsuccessful, then I would contact your doctor. They can do some testing to find out what's going on.
Good luck! I hope i've helped a little. :d

Thank you for the information, I will try to calculate when I am going to ovulate this month. I am about to start my period, and I am going to track it. But still I am wondering if being on the pill for so long could be the problem as well. My aunt told me that a friend of hers has been trying to have a baby for 5 years now after she came off being on the pill for over 10 years. I wish that some of these young girls that are getting pregnant so easily could have this problem. It would make things much easier.

Hi I took the pill for 7 years and it took me only 4 months to get pregnant. I don't think it affects your fertility, it takes a few months to start ovulating after going off the pill for some people. The best thing to do is try to monitor when you ovulate and have sex then. Good luck it'll happen. :d

I was on the pill for 5 years... I got pregnant in two months. I have learned, though, that after coming off the pill many women take 6-8 months to begin ovulating again. You might not be releasing an egg. Talk to your doctor about the chance you may not be ovulating. Good luck!

I took 11 months after being on pill for 12 years to get pregnant

Another question??? So if the problem is that I may not be ovulating, then what does that mean. Is it a problem that you may not be ovulating. For the past two months my cramps have been horrible. I can barely stand up just for the first day, and then they are fine. My cycle is coming every 21 -24 days. Im wondering what to do now. I just don't understand what could be the problem, and I am getting very upset and frustrated when I think that I might not ever get pregnant. Help!!

Hi hmrjnh, I read your story & please bare with me, my memory isn't very good at all sinc brain surgery in 1998. I tried very hard to take the pills, eventually my doctor suggested another form of birth control. I was getting to sick with all the different pills he tried. 1pk of the pills was taken me for a month. I got pregnant & I prayed that my child would be okay & he was. The 2nd child was a normal delivery to. The 3rd child, well let me tell u this 1st. I left my husband & I didn't realize that I was pregnant, I was for sure that I wasn't pregnant because my menses would come on time every month, I thought I was just gaining weight, at 6-months I found out that I was pregnant. A few weeks later I went into labor.They could not stop my labor pains, she was in a breech position. They said she's coming & she has a lot of fight. Every hour they would turn her in my stomach. They don't know why they couldn't stop my contractions. When she came, she was the most beautiful baby. The doctors seem to think that it could've been the yeast infection that I had. She weighed 3lbs I wish u luck. I can only tell u what i've experience, keep going to the doctors. In my town they have teen counslers & they sometimes give out birth control, according to my 21 year old daughter.

My sister-in-law just went through the same thing that you ladies are going through. More than likely, it is a timing issue. Although she did get put on fertility pills. Also, a friend of mine tried for six months and finally got pregnant. Sometimes, for some reason, it does just take a little longer. Your ob/gyn can help you chart your cycles so you'll know when your most fertile days are. I think you both will conceive and be just fine. Don't worry too much because that can also throw off your cycle which will make it even harder to become pregnant. Listen to your body. If you're having very, very mild cramps and you know it's not time for your period, go ahead and start having sex then for the next seven days. This can be a temporary solution until you figure something else out.

Good luck to both of you ladies and let us know how it goes.

Thank you all for your thoughts. I just have come to the conclusion that I will never get pregnant. If I could I would have by now. I am having a hard time calculating my cycle. For the last few months, it has been very irregular. First it was 21 days, next month 24 days, and last month 28 days. Yesterday the 10th was 14 days and I feel like I am going to start my period. My brests are very tender and it seams like it is to early to have them be this tender. Any idea what is going on with me? I am having a hard time getting to the doctor, right now because my insurance is in the process of being changed. Thanks for your thoughts
