My husband and I are trying to concieve but unfourtunatly nothing has worked. SOMEONE HELP PLEASE?

Question

Does anyone have any pointers???????

Answer 1

My husband and I have been trying to have a baby now since my cycle in February 2006- its now October. I am very anxious to become pregnant and I know you should try for a year before becoming concerned. I used the over the counter ovulation kits, and even bought the Clear Blue Easy Fertility monitor to help me pin point when I ovulate.
All of my life I have had weird periods- sometimes go 3 months without a period- lately running about 45- 52 day cycles, and every now and then there would be a 27 day cycle. I started charting my periods last year so I could guess when my period would come- I was getting tired of "Aunt Flow" just showing up out of the blue and having embarrassing accidents. According to these OTC ovulation kits I only ovulated one time since February.
On September 22 of this year I went to my OB/GYN for the whole works, and I brought my nifty period chart with, told him the whole story and he said just by looking at my chart that he could tell I wasn't ovulating. He ran some tests and did a vaginal ultrasound and Vaio Lah! I have PCOS Polycystic ovaries and don't ovulate!!
I know its sort of a lie, :(---I told my doc that we had been trying for a year so that he would look further into it. I had said concerns to a different doc ( my family practioner) previously and he just told me to be patient and never looked into it. (Actually the butt told me to pull a night on the town and end up in the backseat of an old Chevy and chuckled- I wasnt amused) But I am really glad I had it checked out or I would still be waiting until Februaury.
PS- I start my first round of Clomid this month!!

So my advice to you- trust your gut feeling- if you really think there is something wrong- get it checked out and bring some proof to back you up if you keep trying without luck! Hope you get PG soon! I know it can be very anxious!

I've also read that Basal Body temps only indicate ovulation after if has happened- that is according to my ovulation kit instrucitions- LH detects a time period before you ovulate.

Hope this helps!

You absolutely need to go get the TTC Bible! LOL There is a great book called Taking Charge of your Fertility that emcompasses all of the information the previous ladies have mentioned. It covers all aspects of trying to conceive.

After you get the book you an find many other women using this book on message boards everywhere!

Fertility Friend is a nice site to chart as well.

I have a friend who has been unable to get pregnant. In her situation, she has fibroid tumors blocking her fallopian tubes. Another friend of mine had endometriosis and cysts.

You can have a laparoscopy and have your gynocologist check to make sure you don't have fibroids or endometriosis.

Also, you can have your husband's sperm count checked. They can measure what percentage of sperm are viable.

I have done some reading about endometriosis. Basically, if you want a really healthy reproductive system, here's what I recommend:

1. Lay off the beef. Beef is implicated as a cause of endometriosis.

Eat a LOT more leafy green FRESH vegetables (preferrably organic).

2. Eat small portions of chicken and fish.

3. Take at least 800 mcg of folic acid every day. Take a B supplement vitamin and a mineral supplement.

4. Take at least a tablespoon of flaxseed oil every day.

5. Stay away from processed food...anything that comes in a box ...stay away from fast food.

6. Drink at least 10 glasses of purified water a day.

7. You might want to avoid eating green peas...sounds silly, I know, but I had a friend who laid off her regular consumption of green peas and suddenly she was able to get pregnant.

8. Remove all the chemicals (cleaners, bug sprays, paint, fingernail polish and remover) out of your home and put them in storage somewhere else.

Answer 4

Make an appointment with your OBGYN and let him/her know you've been unsuccessful ttc. You don't need to wait a year to seek professional help. There could be a medical issue that is preventing you from conceiving. Rather than getting more and more depressed month after month, have your doctor run some routine tests and examine you. Your doctor can also give your husband a lab slip to get his semen analyzed. You may want to take your husband to your appointment with you so the two of you can discuss your medical histories and inform the doctor of any or all medications/supplements you are both taking - both Rx and OTC. An OBGYN has the knowledge and resources for helping you conceive, why not take advantage of that rather than trying all the myths out there.

I had a couple of medical issues that prevented me from conceiving and carrying a pregnancy. It took us 13 months to conceive our daughter, including one miscarriage. However, had I not sought the help of my OBGYN, I might never had conceived.

Best of luck to you!

Answer 5

There could be SOO MANY reasons why your not getting pregnant..they say you should try for at least a year before going to the doctor, but do what you think is best. It could just be as simple as stress, or your not ovulating and need to be put on Clomid, or more serious fertility issues, even your husband may have fertility issues. Go see a doctor and get tested, that's the best way to know what's going on.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

*Go to http://www.mymonthlycycles.com and put in your period info and it will calculate when you will be fertile and ovulating.
( It is a free and very helpful website)
*Chart your body basal temperature
*Take folic acid
*After sex hold your legs up for a bit to help the sperm along
*Stop worrying and just relax

If all else fails see a really good doctor that can help you and your husband have a baby, I know of a really the best doctor for this and his name is Dr. Richard Levin and his website is at http://www.babies-by-levin.com

*Praying never hurts

Some people can try and try so hard to get pregnant but when it is meant for a new little soul to come into this world it will.

When you stop worrying about it that is when you get pregnant (like i did after a year of trying)

Good luck

I would recommend talking to your OBGYN because there are tons of things you can do to help you get pregnant (Clomid, Metformin, etc). I would also recommend that you buy the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. This book is very informative about ways to get pregnant, it really helps you understand your body so you can acknowledge the signs your body is giving you when you are ovulating, fertile, etc. It also comes with a CDROM calander where you can plug in your periods (heavy, light,spotting, etc) and temps, cervical fluid, to help you chart and find when you are most fertile. I wish you the best....baby dust to ya!
