I have been TTC for over 3 years now. Your best option: Get a thorough check-up for you and your husband by an Infertility Specialist. I found knowing what the problem is makes seeing children everyday much easier. Knowing your options makes each month and each period a little easier to deal with.
Check with your insurance carrier before your first visit to the Infertility Clinic. Some insurance companies will cover at least a portion of your visit.
Good Luck

Have you ruled out all medical reasons why you have not conceived? Where you on birth control previously? If you were you may have a hormonal imbalance which I would suggest you see a naturopath about or a qualified herbalist at a health food store. I had messed up hormones and after one month on a supplement everything was great.
I would also consider that you see an OB if things do not resolve and if you are fine then have your hubby see a urologist to rule out an issues with him.
1 year is a long time but one the other hand I know that for many it does take a year or more to conceive a baby even if both parents are completely healthy. Good luck.

The effects of stress on fertility
Many couples overlook the effect that stress and anxiety can have on fertility and pregnancy. Couples who are experiencing high levels of stress in their work or personal lives will often find it difficult to achieve a successful pregnancy. Sometimes this stress and anxiety can actually result from the desire for a baby. It is important for couples to remember that trying to get pregnant should be a joyful and exciting event, not a chore. Couples who find themselves stressed by the desire for a pregnancy would do well to take a step back, take a deep breath, relax and let nature take its course.
What is normal when trying to get pregnant
Many couples get discouraged quickly when a pregnancy is not achieved right away. It is important to remember, however, that it usually takes from six months to a year of trying for most normal couples to get pregnant. Getting discouraged can raise stress levels, which in turn will lower fertility levels. Before seeking help, or assuming that they are infertile, couples should make sure they are relaxed and as stress free as possible. It may taken many months of trying to get a successful pregnancy underway.
When to seek help with getting pregnant
Of course every couple is different, and help is sometimes needed to achieve a pregnancy. If it has been over a year and a pregnancy has not occurred naturally, it may be time to seek help. A thorough medical examination of both husband and wife will be needed in order to isolate any physical problems that could be preventing a pregnancy from occurring. In addition to a general physical exam, the husband should have a thorough sperm count done, while the wife should have a full gynecological exam.
If a problem is found
These days there are a number of techniques to allow couples with fertility problems to start their own families. From fertility enhancing drugs to test tube baby techniques to surrogate mothers, there is help available to help just about every couple achieve their dream of a house full of children.
Wishing you the best!!!!!

You stressing over it doesn't help at all. My husband and I tried for three years, unfortunately for us, I had to have a full hysterectomy. My advice is to see your OB and talk to them about all of your worries and concerns. If they feel you need to see a fertility specialist, you will be referred to one. The one thing I learned the most is that I can still be happy without being a Mom, it will just put strain on your marriage and your life in general if you go around sad all the time. I know its hard, I have been there, and sometimes, I still get a little wishful, but we will try to adopt. God has a plan for us all, so just send him your worries, he will take care of them. I wish you all the best and I pray that God blesses you with a healthy baby!

Niky, to get pregnant you must have sex on a day that your eggs are being released.
After the 3rd day from the day that menses started put a thermometer into your mouth and check your body temperature every morning before you start turning in bed. The best time is at about 4 a.m. Maintain a chart. You will find that on one day the body temperature drops from 1/2 degree to one degree. This is the day that your eggs are being released. If you want to get pregnant this is the day that you must have sex. Tell your husband to ejaculate on his inward thrust so that the sperms will shoot deep inside.
After having sex you must stay in bed for about 30 mins with your knees bent up with a pillow under your buttocks so that the sperms will not pour out - to enable them to travel up.
Get your husband to save his sperms in the testacles for at least 3 days before sex to enable them to mature well to do their job.

I understand, I too have been TTC although I have been trying for 3 years now. They say after a year go talk to the doctor. You could also go to fertilityfriend.com, that might help you to know when exactly your fertile days are. Good luck!

If you haven't already see if there is some infertility issues. Go to a specialist....skip the regular gyno's. Clomid is the first step in fertility...it's a pill.
Best of luck!

My husband and I tried for 3 months and BAM! It happened. I went to the doctor to get the best time to do it. When I had that information, I got a bottle of Jose Cuervo, a slow jams CD, and went for it. It worked. Best Wishes!!!!!!

sometimes the doctor is needed sometimes relaxation,a holiday perhaps as some women so want to be pregnant that it rules their life this can not help,,you may need to work out your cycle as it may be the wrong time for intercourse, there again it may be your partner low sperm? but it may just be that you need to be a little more patient, good luck
