trying to get pregnant what are we doing wrong?

Question

me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant for about a year now and im still not pregnant...does anyone have any tip on what we should try or anything?

Answer 1

Both of you should go to an Infertility Specialist. Here blood tests will be run and sperm count will be measured. They will probably give both of you some counseling and medications to assist. Seeing a doctor is the best bet. On the other side, you could be trying too hard. Have some wine and both of you should get drunk and then try it. The wine will take your minds off what needs to be done and you might experience more pleasure while conceiving your new little one.

Answer 2

Presuming you ovulate normally and there is nothing wrong with either of you it will just be a matter of time. I have had really irregular periods and tried for 3 years after undertaking a few different kinds of fertility treatments. In the end i decided i wasnt ready for IVf and booked a trip OS - two weeks before i left i found out i was pregnant and am now 9 weeks.

Alll good thinks come to those that wait but given that you have been trying already for 12 months it wouldnt hurt to have a few tests done to rule out thyroid probs or premature meopause etc.

Good luck stay positive - it will happen.

Answer 3

You could take your temperature to see when you ovulate think it is normally 14 days after the first day of your last period.
Have you tried the ovulation kits you can buy from a pharmacy/chemist?
After a year of trying you can ask for a opinion from a gynae in England.
I know this sounds stupid but if you had the injection form of contraception. I know people who have been trying for a couple of years after having that.
I had a miscarriage and I found it hard to fall pregnant, 2 years after the miscarriage at the Christmas I got rid of all my baby equipment and thought nope we are just going to have the 1 child. 3 months later I fell pregnant.
I think once the pressure was off it just happened.
I used to feel empty every month when I would start my period. I just wanted to curl up in a ball and cry.
I hope you fall pregnant soon. :-)

I know this may sound odd but I do Reiki (are you familiar?) and I have a friend who has tried for over the past year to get pregnant and tried EVERYTHING! They spent more time at the doctors than anywhere. While I was visiting her once I told her I would give her a Reiki treatment to open all her chakras and energy points. Well she got pregnant in less than a month. Go see a Reiki practitioner...I mean what have you got to lose?
If you live in the state of Washington I will give you a Reiki treatment. :) Just email me.

Answer 5

Quit trying! You need to relax and not try so hard! I know of 4 couples who tried for years to get pregnant! When they either gave up altogether, or adopted a child they all got pregnant! Plus when I worked at the Dr.'s office, once a couple quit trying so hard and just relaxed they got pregnant! I'ld try that before you spent all the money on test to find out why, or fertility treatments. Not many insurance companies coverall of that.
Good luck

Answer 6

My friends tried for two years to have a baby as they were desperate. They tried different times, locations, positions etc but to no avail. Then they gave up thinking they might not be able to have children. It was then that they fell pregnant. The moral of the story? Stop trying! Just enjoy yourselves without the thought that you are trying to make a baby and see what happens.

Answer 7

Check your discharge. It changes colour and consistency when you are ovulating. This worked for me and my friend who couldn't get pregnant for four years.

Relax. Stress doesn't help.

Keep still for 20 minutes afterwards (preferably with hips and legs higher than head).

Think positively.

Have sex regularly. Sperm is in larger quantity after a few days, but the sperm is not such good quality and has less "swimmers".

Ensure the man has a well aired groin area. No tight or constricting or sweat inducing underwear/trousers etc.

Watch your diet. Reduce coffee and other stimulants. Don't eat ready meals or additives. Eat only organic eggs. eat lots of fruit and veg. Avoid aspartame (found in diet foods, reduced sugar food and drinks) like the plague.

Being underweight is not good for conception.

Answer 8

just relax. Have sex to make love to your husband not just to try for baby and let things happen as they will happen. With my fiance I tried to get pregnant for over a year and it didn't happen. I ended up leaving the guy cuz he was a jerk. After being with my current man for 3 months we got pregnant by "accident"..
Things happen for a reason if you don't stress about it and have fun in life you will get your baby..

Answer 9

Do limit movement after intercourse. Standing up after intercourse can cause the semen to leak out. Try to wait twenty minutes after sex before getting up and moving around.
Do try to keep the sperm inside your vagina longer. You can hold the labia together to try to keep the sperm inside of you. You can also try putting a pillow under your pelvis to help tilt your body so the sperm can travel upwards easier.
Do try to make sex enjoyable. Sometimes when a couple is trying to conceive it will affect the quality of their sex life. More enjoyable sex means higher sperm count and better “swimmers”.
Do limit intercourse and male masturbation prior to the days you are trying to conceive. It will help to increase the man’s sperm count and improve your chances of getting pregnant. I would say every 2 days worked for me! GOOD LUCK! Hope it works for you!

Answer 10

The more you're panicking, the less chances you have to get pregnant. Try to relax in the first place.
