frustrated!!!!!!?

Question

I am 30yrs old, mother of 1 nine yr old girl, been off the pill for about 5yrs now..... and unprotected sex w/ my husband for all 5yrs ... and NO baby! I know we should see a dr. but our schedules don't really allow for it... he's on nights and i work days. So could our lack to conceive be a shedule, stress, or just bad timeing for the past 5years??

Answer 1

first i would buy ovulation kits to make sure that you are ovulating. if you are attemp to have sex on the days that you ovulate and avoid it a couple days before. then if your still not pregnant go see a doctor if you want a baby bad enough youll make the time. also if you are not getting regular periods go ahead and see the doctor now. good luck to you hope you have a baby soon.

Answer 2

Maybe you could have secondary infertility. If it was easy for you to conceive your first child and not as easy for a second then I would really recommend seeing an Infertility specialist or a Reproductive Endocrinologist. Maybe it is just a lack of timing. Or it could be a variety of other factors, such as age, stress and hormone levels. For your husband have him go in for a semen analysis because the male plays a major role also. Hope this helps Good Luck.!!!

Answer 3

All of the above. Good luck! We have been trying for 1 1/2 years with no luck. Try not to stress. Remain hopeful.

Answer 4

If it's that important to you, you should really consider taking a day off and seeing a doctor. The doctor can take some tests to determine why you can't conceive. If you're okay, then your husband needs to go in.

Good luck and don't lose patience. It took my sister 10 years to become pregnant.

Answer 5

that sounds like a problem I used to have. my husband and i waited 8 years for our second baby to arrive. i was on fertility drugs and nothing ever happened. we had given up to the idea of only having one. then just one day - 8 years later - a pregnancy test FINALLY came out positive. then i couldn't stop getting pregnant :-)

so don't give up. you could see a doctor on your own. there are a lot of things they can have you try yourself before the involve your husband in testings

Answer 6

I bet it's all of the above. And I think the more you stress about it, the harder it's going to be...

Good luck though. I think it's great that you're a responsible adult trying to bring a child into a loving home. Be patient, it'll happen, you sound like you deserve it.

Answer 7

It could be all of those, or it could be secondary infertility, which occurs with some couples after a successful pregnancy. You can totally go to an infertility doctor without him, discuss tests, options, etc. and let him go for his testing when his schedule allows and you go for your testing when it is convenient for you. My husband and I did that for years. Good luck!

Answer 8

good lord girl, your blessed with one child why worry about it. i have two boys 5yrs apart and they have nothing in common they are now 19 and 24 and i bet they haven't talked more than twice in the last year and that was only hi.. maybe if you stop trying you will get what you want, but i'd rethink it

Answer 9

go to parents center web site and look under conceiving..or trying and it will take you step by step asking how long your period is...cycle days?!! and it will give you months with the days highlighted to let you know YOUR best days to try to conceive! It took me 6 months..but now ...Joey runs around ...he's almost 3 yrs old... so it works...

Answer 10

It could be all of the above. He might have a lowered sperm count, or you might be experiencing fertility issues. The only way to know for certain is to have both of your reproductive systems probed & tested. Doesn't that sound fun??
