well if you have only been dating for 6 months then you havent been trying for very long to get concerned. are you sure you want to raise a child with someone you hardly know?

I'd wait at least another 6 mos. Why try so soon anyhow? In those 6 mos I would put together a financial plan for the future and make sure that you both have stable jobs and budget as though you actually had a family already- take your income vs your currrent bills and add on some more expenses such as medical bills/premiums, formula, misc baby items, diapers, etc... see if you can even afford to have a baby in the first place. Also take that time to do a lot of dieting and exercising. If you're smoking (either you or your partner) you should quit because not only is it bad for you and the child it is also a useless expense. This way you can be healthy before ever concieving and have less liklihood of having issues/complications during pregnancy. Generally they say the missionary position is the best this way you can keep the sperm inside for a longer period of time. Raise your legs up to help the sperm get to it's destination. I've also heard it's easier to do that if you have sex with a pillow under your bottom.

Well if the two of you have only been together for 6 months, chances are that you haven't been trying to get pregnant that whole time. If you have only been trying for a couple of months, then you honestly just need to be patient. You only have a 20% chance of conceiving each month. You being overweight could have *some* effect on how long it takes you to get pregnant, so you should try to get some exercise and eat right as much as you can. Otherwise, you need to just keep trying - there are no magic tricks (positions, etc) to getting pregnant. Unless you or your boyfriend have known medical issues, good old fashioned sex (planned during while you are ovulating) is the only thing that will work. You may want to use ovulation predictor kits (you can get them at the dollar store) or try charting yoru temperatures (read Taking Charge of your Fertility) to time your intercourse during ovulation.

being overweight can be part of the problem yes... you need to eat healthier and get more excercise
but most importantly you need to make sure you will be with this guy for the rest of your life - 6 months is no time at all.. do you own a home yet?? has he talked about marriage??
you shouldnt even think about having kids until you are stable - kids need a permanent home - with a yard, not a rental - not an apartment
kids need parents who are going to be together - not just boyfriend girlfriend
do you really want to be a single mom?
do you really want to be struggling the rest of your life??
dont try to hard to get pregnant until other things are in place -there are too many messed up kids as it is becuase people DID NOT put things in order first - if you love kids - think of their future not just some selfish need to have a baby

It takes longer for some to get prego- your weight shouldn't have anything to do with it. And since you are still getting your period that is a sign that you are healthy. But you can get your period for up to 3 months into your pregnacy. Take a prego test- and in my opinion you don't have to buy the super expensive ones- store brands do the same thing! And are usually boxed by the same expensive company. Just remember a baby will change your relationship forever!!

Hi the weight issue all doctors will say theres your problem don't believe them my mom was 525#s and she had 16 kids say what you want she was a hell of a woman we were all healthy didn't have much but lots of love food and a warm bed just be patient and it will happen try to do missionary position and every other day instead of every day and also do your temps and see when your ovulating remember the sperm can live up to 3 to 5 days inside you good luck and lots of baby dust to you

you only have a lil' window of chance to get pregnant and if you've only been together for 6 months maybe it's God's way of saying not yet

one way to help get pregnant is while you guys are doing it you be on the bottom and him be on top and but a pillow or something under ur butt/hips to lift it up so it makes it easier to run back in to you and when he is done lay with your butt/hipps lifted for about 30 mins! i read that on the net
