Happening to my sister

IT'S NOT INFERTILITY! Don't tell her something like that! It could be a number of things dear. Your best bet is to go to your obgyn. If you have been trying for at least a year. The average couple take about 6 months to a year to get pregnant. and that is with everything in perfect shape and order. If you have tried for over a year. go to your obgyn. Tell them the situation and they will tell you the problem. For example. My hubby and I tried for over a year to get pregnant. We tried everything you could possibly try. Then I went to my obgyn.. only to find out that there isn't anything wrong with me... it's just that my eggs don't drop when they are supposed to. I am now on fertility shots... and I have a sonogram tomorrow.. I'm not pregnant yet.. but they are going to check if the shots are working. It's like my doctor said. Infertility is rare.. there is usually some other reason why you aren't getting pregnant.. that is a lot less severe and serious.

It could be many different things. First if she was on any contraceptives, such as the Depo shot and she does not have a regular period, that could be a reason. If her period is regular, tell her to go online to ovulation calculator so she can have an idea when she is most fertile and try conceiving on that week.. that could happen that she is simply not timing it right. Lastly, if none of these things work maybe both your sister and her husband should go see a doctor just to rule out any medical issues that could be preventing her from conceiving. Another problem that causes a delay, and this has been told by doctors is if she is stress and if you are trying to conceive and are stressing the matter that causes you to delay on conceiving and could even delay your period causing you to believe that you are pregnant and then sadly realize that you are not.

My wife had three children. Two were not planned, one was. it seemed the one we planned took forever. We wanted her to have the baby before February as my job is very hectic from then until July. I wanted to be part of the whole birthing process and lend support for awhile when she came home with our new baby. I don't know why but we tried for months to get pregnant and were on our last chance for the year when it happened. Trying to hard can create anxiety which may effect the abiltiy to concieve. As long as both people are healthy, reproductively normal, there should be no reason why they can not concieve.

My husband and I tried to get pregnant for two years before it happened for us. After six months of agony (sister-in-law shocked us with an "We're pregnant and it only took us two weeks!" then all of her pregnancy talk, unwed teen from church getting knocked up twice[yep, I said twice. She gave birth to a preemie boy and then got pregnant again four weeks later], etc.) I had a little talk with myself and decided I was going to concentrate on slimming down and all the freedoms that come with being childless (oh, the ability to get up and go somewhere without packing a diaper bag and being back in time for nap!). I went on the South Beach diet, gave up caffeine, lost 10 lbs, had really great orgasmic sex with my husband and got pregnant. My point is, I think it was the perfect storm for me. There is some evidence that caffeine can inhibit pregnancy as well as poor nutrition. Plus I let go of the stress and had fun during sex. (Some think that a woman's orgasm helps because during the orgasm, the muscles contract and the cervix dips into the little pool of sperm deposited by daddy-to-be and helps the little guys make their way to the egg...saw it on Discovery Channel I think!) And, yes, go see a doctor that will really listen to her concerns.

There's about a million possibilities here. The best thing to do is not to try so hard, just enjoy the freedom of not having to worry about birth control and things will happen on their own. If not, there are millions of homeless babies out there who would love to have you for an aunty.

First rule of thumb, she need to get a guy who......................Just kidding........
This is however a serious problem. Please tell your sister to go see the family doctor who will then refer or send you to a fertility doctor who will be able to help and check things from medical stand point. She needs to see the family doctor first for her insurance purpose because it she goes to the fertility clinic without referal from the family doctor then most medical insurance companys will not cover her bill. Do it quick because the longer she waits the difficult or worse the condition may get.

Some say pregnancy is a problem(?), when pregnancy is merely the logical outcome of the sexual act.
Here, we are faced with a lack of pregnancy: Not a problem--how can it be? All your sister (and her husband) can do is try. If it is God's will, she will conceive. If not, then it's still not a problem.

I found out that the Depo Provera shot that I took, stopped my body from ovulating. I had to take Clomid to restart ovulation
