Answer 1

You haven't been trying that long....Just give it time and it will happen.
It took me a year to become pregnant after being on the depo shot for 3 years.
When you do stop worrying over it that is when it will happen. It did for me.

Go to http://www.mymonthlycycles.com and put in your period info and it will calculate when you will be fertile and ovulating.

Buy ovulation tests
Take folic acid
Relax
After sex hold your legs up so the sperm dosent come out quickly for about 10 minutes

Good luck

Answer 2

I have always thought that if it has not happened yet is because it is not meant to be yet. You just got married, I would give it some time enjoy the time with your husband first get to know eachother in the marriage life which is completely different from the dating life. My husband and i waited 6.5 years before deciding to have a baby and boy did we have fun!!!! but now we are both very close to 30 so we are ready for a little one.

Anyway, hre are some tips for you, get the fertile focus microscope, it is a saliva test that tells you when you are about to ovulate and the day of ovulation, use Preseed lubricant, this lubricant is the only one in the market that is sperm friendly, it will not kill sperm and it will help it live a little longer. Ask your husband to ejaculate as deep as he can when he is done lay dowm for at least 20 minutes with your hips sligtly up. Good luck

Answer 3

I don't really think that there is anything wrong with either one of you. statistics say that a couple trying to concieve could take anywhere from six months to one year to get pregnant. The best thing that you can do is not to stress. If you wan't to take a little worry off your mind then you can always buy a ovulation test and go from there. If you don't seem to be getting pregnant with ovulation test, then you could always make an appointment with the OBGYN and get some other seggestions. Good Luck! and Happy Trying!

Answer 4

It's not possible to tell if there is any pathology without testing. Your husband could have a low sperm count. In rare cases, a woman's vaginal secretions are sperm-hostile. Of course there are many possible impediments to pregnancy. Until you decide to undergo medical evaluations, have your husband wear loose fitting underwear. Heat kills sperm. Have sex less frequently and encourage your hubby not to self-pleasure. His semen will become more concentrated with sperm. Many couples have given up on having children, but became pregnant soon after going through the adoption process. Relax and enjoy your love for each other, but do the testing. If pregnancy is possible, you will be blessed with the experience. You will make excellent parents!!

Answer 5

It can take very fertile couple up to 6 months to have a baby, and up to a year if one of you (or the two of you together) is less fertile. So, it may just be that you need to keep trying.

I would suggest you read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler for information on how to increase the chances of conceiving.

Answer 6

I think the average time it takes for couples with no health issues is 6 months. Since you've been trying longer than that you might want to discuss with your doctor, though they might have you keep it up for an entire year before they really check you out.

I suggest reading 'Taking Charge of your Fertility' and charting your temperatures and signs.

I wish you the best.

Answer 7

I think the best thing to do would be to ask your doctor.

However, If when you and your husband make love all you think about is trying for a baby, your body can not conceive because of the stress. My advice, don't stress over it, don't think about it, and try a few times to see if that works. If not, then ask your doctor about fertility problems.

Answer 8

An OPK (ovulation predictor kit) saved my sanity when I was trying to conceive. You can purchase it at Walmart or other drug store. It is as simple as a pregnancy test and costs about $15 or so. It will let you know exactly when you are are ovulating/fertile and is nice to have tangible proof that it is the correct time to try to conceive.

Answer 9

give it a year or so to happen naturally. Make sure you are trying on your fertile days (see www.fertilityfriend.com for help in charting your fertility)

if nothing happens after a year then see yor doctor about having tests.

good luck

Answer 10
