I've been trying to get pregnant for 6 months now, and nothing has happened. What could be the causes?

Question

My sister isn't able to have kids (don't know the reason why) so she had to adopt. Could it be hereditary? Also, my fiance had a bicycle wreck when he was younger then 10 and its in the crease of his leg & hip...could that be what's causing us not to have a child? I need help!!

Thanks so far 4 everyone's comments! About doing it when its the right time during the month..honestly we've done it everyday or atleast every other day since Valentine's Day...lol. That's why I'm worried about everything. I would go get checked, but I'm on my parents insurance still, and don't want to let them know I'm tryin to get pregnant until I'm married and also he doesn't have health insurance yet with his job for another couple months.

Answer 1

Either you haven't been trying at the right time of your cycle, you haven't been trying long enough, or either you or your husband are less fertile or infertile.

You can improve your chances greatly by learning more about how your body and cycle work. Read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler to have the best chance of getting pregnant. Even if it turns out that you need medical help in conceiving, the information you get from reading the book and following it will save you time, money, and discomfort in treatment. For this reason, it is a good idea to get the book before you seek medical treatment.

Answer 2

You don't say how old you or your sister are. A study completed in 2005 showed that women who did not conceive their first child until well into their 30s had the longest life spans. The theory is that their bodies simply aged slower, developing at a lower rate, so they were not ready to have children until that age, resulting in a much longer life span. Don't worry, there is time and there is nothing wrong with it doesn't happen next week, next month, or next year. If you are in your 20s or 30s, with the current rate of increase in the human life span, you can have children well into you 60s. The body is a marvelous thing, but it does its own thing in its own time.

Answer 3

There are only 2 or 3 days a month that a woman is fertile. Make sure you're having sex during your ovulation cycle before you jump to the conclusion that it's a problem of fertility. Sometimes it's very difficult to conceive, that doesn't mean it's impossible. Some people try for years before having a baby. Don't give up.

Make sure you're having sex during ovulation. And if it's really bugging you, have your husband's sperm tested for fertility. I'm not certain, but I don't think that infertility is hereditary. I had twin aunts; one was infertile and the other wasn't....so who knows?

Answer 4

I'm glad you got lots of helpful answers. I would recommend you stop trying to get pregnant until you're fiance has health insurance and you feel comfortable telling your parents about trying to get pregnant. I honestly think that in your current life situation it's just too soon to have a baby.

Best of luck to you both.

Answer 5

There can be many causes. The best you and your fiance can do is to go to a doctor. That way you will know for sure. I can tell you that I have many friends who have tried to get pregnant for as long or longer than you. Therefore, the fact that it hasn't worked yet does not imply that you cannot get pregnant. Honestly, you and your fiance should both get tested.

Answer 6

I an only say that I had friends that were TTC and they kept trying day after day,monthe after month.It only happened when they relaxed and really had genuine quality time together.Men sometimes don't do well under that pressure anyways! It will happen in the time that God wants it to happen,not sooner or later.He has a plan and He knows the best time for you to have a little one.So be encouraged and just relax!
God Bless~

Answer 7

A woman's body wont produce a child until it is complete. You have to be emotionally , spiritually, physically in good working order to produce the miracle of life. There is a mountain in Indonesia were if you go around it you can conceive, the mountain looks like a pregnant woman laying down. Good luck.
Maybe now is not the right time. l know some who tried for years until they concieved, don't give up.

Answer 8

the key is to find out when you are ovulating it is usually 2 week after your period has stopped lay on your back put a pillow under your *** and you and your man have to *** at the same time when you *** your opening to your cervix opens and shuts 3 or 4 times when man cumes the first ejaculation has the most sperm in it and he ejaculates 3 or 4 time when you both *** at the same time the your cervix opens and he ejaculates and the sperm has a better chance to get closer to the egg and what ever you do DON'T get up i know it sounds gross but go to sleep for a couple of hour.

Answer 9

If you're not married and he has no health insurance then you have no business trying to get pregnant. Neither one of you are financially able to support a child and that is obvious I doubt very much if either one of you are emotionally stable as well it's also obvious you're not mature enough or you wouldn't be trying to get pregnant at this time.

Answer 10

As far as the bicycle accident...I can tell you this. My uncle and an accident when he was young. When he got married, my aunt and uncle had kids...all girls. When the last girl was born, they decided to quit. (they wanted to have a boy, but after 5 girls....) Anyways, he got a visectomy, and his doctor said, "Huh, bet you had all girls." So I believe that his accident probably could effect your chances of pregnancy & the gender.
