Why aren't i getting pregnant?

Question

I have been with my boyfriend for a year and a half. I'm 19 and would to have a baby. We have been having uprotected sex for about 6 months and still haven't concieved. I had a termination about 2 years ago but results came back that everything was fine with me. Do you think he is infertile and how can i approach the subject to him without him feeling embarassed or pissed off?

Answer 1

6 months isn't that long. Do you track your ovulation?? I tried for 3 months then began tracking. The following month I was pregnant! There a many websites with ovulation calenders, and maybe use an ovulation kit.

Don't panic yet, as long as u both are healthy I can't see it being a problem.

Good luck to u xx

ps - ignore patronising advice from others, I know u must be worried and people are so insensitive. Stay strong

Answer 2

Honey, do you think six months is a long time to be trying for a baby? Please read some of the questions on here on that subject and you might not feel so bad about yourself. I have been trying for over a year and a half now. If you ask the doctor to check you both, he will say that you need to have been trying for at least 18 months (some say 12, some say 24), just relax, and it should happen for you, try not to think about it so much, 6 months is not a long time, I know it may seem like it. maybe you could go and see the doctor if you are worried about yourself (do you have irregular periods or anthing?) but I wouldnt ask your boyfriend to go for a test just yet, give the man a chance! Try to work out when you ovulate, try thi page http://www.fertilityfriend.com this may help you get to know your body better. Good luck.

Answer 3

This is a very difficult problem and is best handled as a joint problem...why don't you both go to a fertility clinic to evaluate the problem. This removes the problem from your shoulders and if it should be an infertility problem on his part, then the physician can be the bearer of the bad news, not you. To question a male's potency is a very delicate subject and may cause a big problem in your relationship; however other causes may affect the potency that are correctable...such as tight underwear, etc..

Answer 4

Just go for the intercourse on the 13th or 15th day after ur periods are over.

This is not the case of man infertility, there can be hormonal changes in the woman too.

Another thing you can do, have a gap of atleast for a month between the two intercourses, then have on the 20th day of the first day of the periods.

Answer 5

Hi, I suggest that if you are both serious about having a baby then he should not be embarassed or anything if you ask him to be tested

It may also be that you may be trying to hard - so to speak. Alot of people who try to have a baby are trying to concieve without enjoying and forgetting they are trying to conceive. Just enjoy yourself, forget that your trying to have a baby and it will happen. It a bit like when you have lost something and you try to find it........ it always turns up when you stop trying/looking.

Hope that makes sense

Good luck

Well do you not think 19 is a little young to go and get you and your boyfriend saddled with a baby? The very fact that you are asking this question shows a level of immaturity..... most people know that on average it can take up to 12 months to conceive.

you also have only been with your partner for 18 months... this doesn't sound like a solid foundation to be thinking about having children.

Go out, get a job, and have fun for a little while, plenty of time for babies when you are older.

Answer 7

you are very young to be starting a family, you have plenty of time. if you are scared of asking him if he is infertile for fear he will get pissed off with you, is this really the right man for you?
6 months isn't long to be trying either, when you have tried for two years, then would be the time to seek medical advice and intervention. in the meantime just forget about babies and enjoy practising!!! you never know, these things come along when they are least expected. good luck and have fun while you are young.

Answer 8

from experiance "doggy" style with the womans face/ chest lower (flat on the bed with bum in the air) seems to help I think probably due to gravity. Also if the woman reaches orgasam this increases the chance of pregnancy. Also if you are positive you are ok them get your boyfriend checked. Or somtime just stop trying and just have sex when you want helps as trying to hard can somtimes have a negative affect.
Another thing is dont go to the loo right after but lay on your back with your legs up against a wall with your hips elevated to get gravity to help you.


Hope this helps & good luck

Answer 9

Six months isn't all that long. Doctors usually start invetigating around the year. Are you sure that you are having sex on your ovalating date (approx. 14 days before your next period due date)? You could buy an ovalating kit and make sure that you have sex on the exact day (a bit expensive). But I think you should stop worrying about getting pregnant and start enjoying sex and love making with yur boyfriend and let nature takes its course.

Answer 10

firstly aren't u a bit young to have a child ? do u both work ? have your own place ? does he want a child with u as well ?
I think 19 is too young to have a child .... i was 19 when i had my 1st son and yes i love him he is my world but its way too young you should both be more concerned with having fun and not getting tied down ... u both have lots of baby making years ahead of u .. wots the rush ??
but if u both want a child and are financially secure waiting 6 months is nothing it can take up to a year 18 months and if u ha vent conceived within this time then its time to go and see the Dr ....
Good Luck in whatever u decide to do ...
