So now I've been married a while and we want to have a baby. We have a nice place, he has a great secure job with wonderful benefits, we own 2 cars and are very well stable. I hear horror stories about not being able to get pregnant. There's no history of this in either family, but it's scary. What are the chances of this? We are both in our "peak" 20-25 year range as they say. There's no hurry and I know ALL about the ovualtion timing, frequency and diet. We are both of healthy weigh too, and I haven't been on birth control for about 4 years to regulate my periods... Anyone know how common it is to not be able to get pregnant? And how long it would normally take? And maybe any "tricks" or tips... Thanks.

My husband and I we are both 29yo, married for 6.5 years I was on birth control since the day we got married and got pregnant the month I quit taking it and decided to have a baby. If you are healthy there is nothing I would worry about. Everyone is different so it might take no time or it might take some time. You should start taking the prenatal vitamins now, they are great vitamins and will help you have a healthier baby. Trust your bodies if you two are healthy then I wouldn't worry about tricks or tips, people will tell you all kinds of things and stories but don't let anything stress you out, I would just sit, relax and let it happen, just remember timing ovulation is everything. Good luck and God bless!

I'm not sure what the actual frequency of conception difficulties is, but you won't know if it's a problem for you until you try. When you go off the pill, remember that it takes about 3 months for your body to readjust. Since you were taking the pill to regulate your period in the first place, you may need to discuss with your doctor what issues you could come across as a result. Irregular periods are detrimental to the get-pregnant process since it throws timing right out the window. It could also be an indicator for additional problems that your doctor will need to look for, thyroid problems, hormone imbalances, PCOS, etc.
Some couples get pregnant the first time they try, some take years. If you try continually for a year with no results, your doctor will be able to help you with further options for assisting you in conceiving. Unless there's a problem they can diagnose and treat right away, they'll make you try for at least a year before opening up more fertility options.

I am in the same boat as you. We decided to stop the birth control and stop not trying but not really try. Mean while I took the vitamins and such. Well, 7 months later we are at the Gyno and she is telling us that we have to make a choice. I either have to be on birth control or she is giving me meds to make me ovulate. She also said that we had better have children now because it is going to be harder later with my condition. I thought I was healthy! Bottom line don't stall, just start now that way you know if there is going to be any problems. I am so glad that we did now instead of waiting until we were older.

Danielle, to get pregnant you must have sex on a day that your eggs are being released.
I know you are aware of the details of ovulation but, after the 3rd day from the day that menses started put a thermometer into your mouth and check your body temperature every morning before you start turning in bed. The best time is at about 4 a.m. Maintain a chart. You will find that on one day the body temperature drops from 1/2 degree to one degree. This is the day that your eggs are being released. If you want to get pregnant this is the day that you must have sex. Tell your husband to ejaculate on his inward thrust so that the sperms will shoot deep inside.
After having sex you must stay in bed for about 30 mins with your knees bent up with a pillow under your buttocks so that the sperms will not pour out - to enable them to travel up.
Get your husband to save his sperms in the testacles for at least 5 days before sex to enable them to mature well to do their job.

My husband and I also had a hard time getting pregnant at first, then I decided to talk to my Gyn. Come to find out it was mainly stress so we took a weekend and just relaxed from work and life in general. Here we are almost 9 months later and about to welcome our little girl into this world. So my advice just relax try not to think about it too much and when the time is right it will happen.

We've been lucky. For our first we got preggo the first month trying. We are TTC again and this is the first month- I think I might be pregnant, but I haven't gotten a + hpt yet. We are 20-25 and healthy and all that. But my sister-inlaw and brother started trying the same time we were (with the first pregnancy) and it took them 9 months. Good luck!

I agree with analyse
visit www.fertilityfriend.com for helpful tips if you've tried without success on your own for a while.
To be honest, these websites can make you obsessive though. Best to relax and let nature takes its course for at least a year, then look into help after that if needed.

The more you think about it, the less likely it gets, assuming you've already tried... I don't know the statistics but I do know it doesn't help to focus on conceiving too much. It can get in the way of your relationship too
