We had sex on ovulation, why didn't we conceive???

Question

Hello everyone, I'm very concerned. I have 2 children from a previous marriage and one with my current husband and every time I've tried BAM, I've gotten pregnant. And, this past mth. I took ovulation predictor kits, got a +, had my ovulation pain and we had sex, but we didn't get pregnant! I am so dissapointed and worried! After I had my daughter I was on the mini pill and the switched to Yasmine, and quit right before we tried, but the doc said there shouldn't be a delay. What went wrong? :*(

Answer 1

Have sex three times a week.

Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.

2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and don’t require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

4. Don’t rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

7. Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

8. Have enjoyable sex.

Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the man’s sperm count.

9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.




also:
There's a lubricant called Pre-seed or Pro-seed or something that's supposed to help a lot. I've heard many pregnant women swear by it. And, of course, sex when you're ovulating, though sex outside of those times couldn't hurt either. Other than that, it's just up to your body and his sperm. You can try tracking ovulation, but I wouldn't count that as an easy way to do it.

I have read that female (X) sperms live longer, but swim slower and male (Y) sperm swim fast, but live for a shorter time. So if you have sex 2 or 3 days before ovulation, you have more chance of having a girl. Probably only the female sperm cells will survive the waiting time. A less deep penetration during a man's ejaculation increases the chances of having a girl. Sperm cells deposited further away from the cervix, which is advantageous for the "stronger" female cells. The chances of having a girl will increase if the woman does not have an orgasm. The woman's orgasm makes the environment less acidic, which is advantageous for the male sperms. If the environment stays acidic it's to the benefit of the female sperm cells. I hope this helps. Good Luck!!!

Answer 7

Firstly count your lucky stars that you already have had 3 children and that you were so incredibly lucky to fall so quickly with each of them - it's a very rare occurrance.
now

Statistically, for all normally healthy fertile couples who have sex at EXACTLY the right time, there is still only a 25% chance of getting preggers - so you can see now why I say you have been so very lucky in the past. Hang on in there, given your previous record I suspect you won't be waiting many more months - Good luck girl! (p.s your doc is misleading you though, even on the mini pill it can also take a couple of months or more before your fertility returns to normal Also, o/v kits don't detect ovulation - they detect a surge in the LH hormone which suggests ovulation - but even with an LH surge it is possible to have not actually ovulated (groan - this ttc milarky can be pretty hard going can't it?) Certainly at this early stage you have absolutely nothing to worry about, so try to forget about it for now and enjoy all that extra sex :-)

Luckly this is a great solution for premature ejaculation http://EndPrematureEjaculation.enle.info/?Oaut

A guy always cums fast when its their first time. and especially if he's been waiting for a long time. Guys are erect at least 5 times a day so what I would do is some foreplay until he ejaculates or the both of you for that matter its not fair that he has orgasms and you don't so get him to do you first and then once you finish he will be more than ready for his orgasm. then use a condom because that cuts down the sensations for him if he feels he is about to come prematurely then tell him to come out and do some more foreplay on you so he has time to calm down. the condom should work but if you want a baby tell him to take the condom of before ejaculation and then finish in you. the longer you wait to make him come with foreplay the quiker it will be because he has to get it out of him.

He also does need time because you are the only one he has been with so once he gets used to it, you can really enjoy it once he gets his techniques down pat. Tell him what you like. Get some books and videos also until you both are experienced. Or you could even have a quickie in the morning, when you get home and then at night. he will diffently last longer because his mind has been free twice already. You get on top of him and you control the situation. Also my boyfriend tells me that he thinks about none sexual things for a while to help control him, tell him to think about a sport or something that calms him. If that doesn't work then just do IT over until you are satisfied

Answer 9

Stress (because you want to be pregnant) can through you off in cycle and even make you have the ovulation symptioms but no baby. Some pills take time to wear off, even if doctors say that is not so. I got pregnant on the Depo Shot~~~go figure.

If it is kits and taking your temp in the morning, that can make your body not listen to you.

You did not say how long you tried before you started with the kit.

If you go 6 month's to a year w/o getting pregnant than BOTH of you get tested. It may be something so simple.

Until then enjoy eachother and try not to make "baby makin" a chore, set time ect....

Who knows the minute you through the kit in the trash and make love to make love~~~~~the baby may then come.

Good Luck

Answer 10

To increase your chance of conceiving you should have sex several days before conceiving and several days after. Good luck.

Answer 11

Seriously, the female body isn't meant to get pregnant every time they have sexual intercourse. Or else we'd have thousands of babies!

You could have released a substandard egg - or maybe the sperm were not up to speed this time around. Also, diet, age, and physical stamina (male and female) are factors.
