will it be hard my 2nd time to get pregnant? ive been waiting for a while now.?

Question

my son is now 14mos. old i took the shot up to 3 mos. after he was born and quit, we have been trying to have another child since, with no luck?? why not??

we were together 3 years prior to our first child and never used any birth control method

Answer 1

ok i hate to tell ya but i've tried for 3 years now...but don't give up.....i read it once in Cosmo or Glamour that this happens a lot more than people think....ok does your husband wear too tight undies...switch to boxers.....don't do it every night but every other...it saves the sperm count a little..and sperm can live like up to 5 days so it's best to start earlier than you think....look for the signs of ovulation...like that stringy clear mucus discharge when it's ovulation time....get those ovulation sticks at a drug store...they do help tell when it's time to"do it"....because your cycle could be mixed up.....i think for me it's because i am too overweight now.....and have been told that could be the problem...plus now I'm over 35 ...which in the medicine world they say it's harder obviously because of less eggs now...bummer!....but now my best friend is underweight and had a slightly tipped uterus....MD told her to gain 5 lbs....he fixed the uterus and then put her on Clomid....when he saw that she had made enough eggs....he "harvested them"....mixed it with her husbands "sample"....placed it back in her and on the 1st try ...9 months later she had a boy....he just turned 3....and last month after she went that route again she gave birth to a girl.....good luck

The depo-vera shot can remain in your system for up to a year.No one can say how long it will take,but just keep taking your prenatal vitamins and have sex when you know you are ovulating.Every woman has a different time to ovulate although I am always able to tell when I am because I will be so horny for a day or two,then I don't want to be touched for a few days.It depends on your cycle,most times it is between the second and third week of your 28 day cycle.Get a ovulation kit to help pinpoint when you are most fertile if you can't tell otherwise.Another way to tell is that you will feel wetter that usual there,this is to allow sperm to travel easier,if you notice more moisture I would suggest you go for it.Good Luck!! I am sure it will happen when you least expect it.

Answer 3

I beleive how you count your cycle is from the first day of your period..7 days after that, you are fertile again. I think that from day 7-14 is your most fertile time. I think the best thing to do is to count your cycle out on a calendar. I know depro can really mess your cycles up for a while. Also, breastfeeding can decrease your chances of conception. It can take a while, so be patient with yourself. Your body is intelligent. You could also talk to your doctor if nothing happens in a few months. Perhaps if it is medical it isnt you...Does your hubby know his sperm count?

Answer 4

All I hae to say is be paitent and good luck. It will happen when its time to happen. I have two babys in diapers and its not fun. I would wait a little bit anyway. I wouldn't change anything but it is alot of work and my oldest dosn't understand why the baby get attention and he's not. It is difficult to feed a bottle to the youngest and the oldest insists on being on your lap at the same time. I don't know maybe its easier for other people but man I have my hands full. Good luck on what ever you decide.

Answer 5

When my brother was trying for his second child it took him about 8 months. So be patient. If you've been trying longer then a year then you should go see your ob.
