I have been trying to get pregnant for almost 7 months now...and NOTHING! What in the hell is going on?????

Question

We have sex ALL the time when I "think" I'm ovulating. This past month however my husband has been very sick and we've only done it twice, so I'm certain it didn't happen this time either. What should I do? I am thinking the worse right now...which is I can't get pregnant, or he can't get me pregnant. He has a child that is 9yrs. old, so I know he's able to get someone pregnant, but that was also almost 10yrs. ago...SO WHAT SHOULD I THINK OR DO? PLEASE HELP.

Answer 1

I have been trying from 9 months now and I think I had a miscarriage without knowing I was pregnant so I went to the doctor and she recommended us to a fertility clinic for blood work. My husband also had a sperm sample done and it came back normal but you may want to check out his sperm to ease your mind and he may have to go in for 3 different sperm sample tests. . .but it is better to get him checked out first before you get checked out since more often than not, it is the guys low sperm count that is the problem.

If everything with him is normal, they will check you for blocked fallopian tubes. . .if this is the case, it is a simple procedure to unblock them.

Also, it is normal for an average couple to take up to 2 years to conceive and the best advice is to not stress about it because when you are not relaxed it won't happen. Enjoy sex. . .exercise. . .try fertility yoga . . .anything to destress. . .

Here are some stats for you. . .

20% of couples get pregnant within first month of trying

after a year, this increases to approx. 68% who successfully conceive and at the end of 2 years 95% which leaves only 5% of the population experiencing fertility problems of one kind or another. Infertility is defined as having unprotected sex with no sign of conception after 12 months. However this doesn't mean that you are "infertile" It just means that fertility testing and treatment is recommended. And most people after seeking out the problem end up surely pregnant. The biggest cause of Infertility according to doctors is the fact that people are not having sex around ovulation time. So in short, it is all timing. . .and not worrying about it. For a lot of people pregnancy happens when least expected.

Answer 2

First off go to the docter and get a work up and make sure that you are in good shape to get pregnant. If everything checks out then the best thing to do is stop trying



I mean it STOP TRYING



i had the same problem with my son i tried for 3 yrs and nothing. finally when i gave up and decided it wasnt gonna happen and i went back to work boom a month later i was pregnant.



Also dont try to just have sex when you think you are ovulating buy a kit or just have sex all the time. I always thought i ovulated in the middle of the month yet both times i got pregnant it was right ofter or right before my period

Answer 3

If you are both under 30, try not to worry about it until you have been trying for at least a year. It can take a healthy couple up to a year of actively trying to get pregnant. After that, then you can go get tested. Also, just because your husband was able to get someone pregnant before, does not mean that he isn't having problems now... things can change, so when you do get tested, both of you need to get tested. Don't blame either of you, because it will just get harder if you do. Really, just try to stop stressing about it so much, relax, and try for 5 more months. Good luck, I know it is hard...

Well, first of all congratulations on your pregnancy! Your doctor is right. You do need to relax...or at least try to : ) Everyone does gain weight differently and each pregnancy is different. With my pregnancy I gained 44 lbs and I'm only 5'1. That's a lot of weight for someone my size! I had no complications with the birth. My sister has 6 children and her weight varied...anywhere from little to massive weight gain and all pregnancies were normal and healthy. Try to enjoy this time. You have a little miracle in your belly. Complications can happen to anybody, not because of the amount of weight you gained. Yes, there are always that "what if". My main concern was for my childs health. Believe me, you won't get anywhere if you stress your self out. Take everything day by day and enjoy it. Just some tips to help you relax: 1. Go for walks. This is healthy for you and your baby and it gives you time to be with mother nature. 2. Eat nutritious MEALS. It won't make you feel bloated like junk food does. 3. Take a nice warm shower or bath while listening to some music. 4. Treat yourself to some fresh baked cookies or ice cream and don't feel guilty about it. It's ok to splurge once in a while! 5. Plop on the couch on a Fri or Sat with a loved one and watch a flick. Make sure you have some popcorn! 6. Read a good book. 7. Go get a pedicure. Those are just some suggestions on ways to relax. Don't worry, you're not the first person to stress out about their pregnancy. I think any loving mother has concerns; especially with their first pregnancy. Try to ease your mind with some relaxing techniques and take care of yourself and that baby of yours! Best wishes to you and your family!

Answer 5

Relax because you only been trying for 7 months. The average healthy couple conceive within a year so until the year mark hit and no pregnancy then you should talk an obgyn. Baby dust to you and everyone ttc. Wishing everyone trying to conceive a BFP in 2010

Answer 6

There are a couple of answers to your problem. First, if people stress over getting pregnant it wears on their body, so they can't conceive. I have heard of stop thinking and obsessing about conceiving, then they conceive. Next, your husband or you might have a fertility problem. Both of you should be checked out by a fertility clinic. Finally, if your husband is older (you said he has a 9 year old son) his sperm might not be in tip top shape. I hope everything works out for you. Stop stressing though.

pregnant 7 months hell

Answer 8

Its too early to go to a fertility clinic, a doctor wouldnt even consider referring you until you had been trying for over a year. You say you have been having sex when you ''think'' you are ovulating. Have you tried using an ovulation calendar? It might be an idea to use one so you KNOW the days you are ovulating and not just guessing! Good luck.x

Answer 9

The tips to get pregnant given below are some effective ways to get pregnant fast and are natural ways of getting pregnant. Read here https://tr.im/pregnancymiracle1



Women can easily keep a tab on their ovulation by maintaining a temperature chart. Usually around the time of ovulation there is a spike in the temperature of women.



Stress and strain has significant role to play in respect of reproductive cycle including ovulation and menstruation. So if you are planning to get pregnant see to it that your partner as well as you are calm and collected.



Diet, weight, physical fitness and lifestyle have direct bearing on pregnancy. This holds true for both men and women. Both underweight and overweight may be exposed to the risk of infertility on account of difficulties in ovulation. So optimum importance should be given to body weight. One should opt for balanced diet, regular work out and exercises.

Answer 10

Sweetie, I'm in the same boat as you are. I have been TTC since June, and nothing. I always feel like I do everything right, and time everything perfectly. My plan is to just stop "trying" and let it happen. I think stressing over it so much doesnt help at all. Best of luck to you and I hope you get your BFP soon :)
