I want a baby!?

Question

I have been trying to get pregnant for about a year now. Any suggestions on doing so?

Answer 1

Try not to worry , relax, have regular sex. Easier said than done wen u really want a baby. Try not to think about it too much, ive heard it can take any time up to 2 years to get preggers. If ur still worried id see my GP for advice. Above all enjoy the sex cause when ur little baby decides its time ave lots of sleepless nites to come. GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTURE!!!!

Talk to your OB about it - they'll prescribe you prenatal vitamins that you should start taking before you even get pregnant (helps prepare your body), and give you some extra suggestions on helping you get pregnant. If it's been a year, they may want to do some tests on you and your partner to ensure that both of you are healthy and there's nothing with your bodies that would inhibit fertilization and conception (i.e., low sperm count, etc.). They may also run blood tests to make sure none of you have any diseases, certain hormone levels are at a certain point, etc. All this is important in helping you determine if you can, perhaps even why you haven't yet, gotten pregnant.

Obviously, sex helps. :o) Missionary is best with your hips elevated a bit, and stay that way for about 15 - 20 minutes afterward. (I found it helped when we had sex in the middle of the night - that way there was at least another 3 hourse before I actually had to stand up. Minimized leakage, if you wanna get real technical. :o)

Start eating healthier, continue working out as you should be. Active lifestyles maintain healthy bodies, healthy bodies are more likely to get pregnant.

Finally, don't stress out about it too much. One of the previous posters basically said (and I paraphrase) "When you least expect it is when it will happen" and that's true. Just enjoy each other's company, maybe take a quiet weekend or vacation away, somewhere you can be alone, enjoy each other's company...just relax, don't really focus on it, and it will happen.

Good luck! It took my husband and I awhile, but nearly 3 years and 1 miscarriage later, I am now 12 weeks pregnant! :o)

Stress is a huge factor, so you'll most probably find that the moment you stop worrying about it you'll fall pregnant. Also making sure that you are in great physical condition would be a great help. If you're trying to get pregnant you should give the baby a head start by taking folic acid supplements before actually falling pregnant. Best of luck.

If you have a hard time conceiving a child it may be easier to go to the doctor and get a prescription that helps promote pregnancy. It can help cause multiple births though, so make sure youre ready for possible twins. Then again some people just take a while to get pregnant, so I would suggest keep trying for a few more months, and then if that doesnt do the trick, go see the doc. Good luck

My husband and i tried for two horrible years to conceive and it was the most loneliest place i have ever been in my life. I have read some of the advice that you have received from others and i strongly believe in some of them. I had all the drugs some horrible tests and they showed nothing, i was then booked in to have IVF on the NHS my appointment letter landed on my doorstep it was for a YEAR later.....A YEAR!!!!! have never cried so much. Well i then just gave up hope it was not in my hands anymore i decided to take a year off we were drained emotionally. Then two weeks after this i conceived ha ha we now have a beautiful 6 month old daughter, and as for the best positions ..someone said missionary well our baby was conceived bending over the stairs ha ha. All i learnt from this is that us women shouldn't underestimate the power of our minds my friend tried acupuncture and it worked. i wish you so much luck.

Answer 6

i myself have been trying for a while and i was told alot depends on your age and stuff, the older you get the chances of conceiving go down, but if you have had no luck after a year of trying, no matter how old you are i suggest you go and see you doctor just to have a few test done to make sure everything is OK, that goes for your partner too, also some say the harder you try the longer it takes,try not to stress too much about it, i wish you all the luck in the world and truly hope you have a bundle of joy soon, and i hope i haven't upset you by my answer it wasn't my intention............

Answer 7

Get an education. Marry someone you love. Have lots of unprotected sex. (It's that thingey down there bewteen his legs.)
If all else fails, adopt a "fashion accessory" from Africa.
Why do you want a baby so badly?
It sounds like an obsession to me. Do you have a happy life? Are you stable, have a good job, and love your body? If so, that will ALL change when you have a baby. You will be tired for the next 20 years, you will lose out on career ops, and your body will be permanently changed (not for the better.)
I love my kids, and grands, but it was HARD to have children. It is very expensive, and loud all the time. I have very good and lovely children, and it took a lot more work than I ever imagined.
Do you want a baby for the baby's sake or for YOU? I was 25, happily in love, and settled before I even thought about having a baby-and being able to care for it like it should be.
Good luck.

Answer 8

it took me 2years to conceive my first child went through test after test both giving the ok had a lascorosocpy (camera down the belly button) still got giving the thumbs up no problems found, couldnt understand why it wasn`t happening. stopped thinking about it and conceived i think most of the problems where to do with stress so don`t let it effect you to the point where you are only having sex hoping that one of the little fellas have made it remember sex is meant to be intimate between you and your partner and not all about making babies. i can gladly say i had no problems conceiving my second child so relax and be patient all good things come to those that way and believe you me it is worth the wait and the pushing good luck hope it happens for you soon take care

If it's been a year you should go to the Dr and ask to get some basic fertility tests done (both you and your partner). Chances are there is nothing wrong but it won't do any harm to check at this stage. My Dr advised us to do that after a year so we did.

Answer 10

well get a husband for starters ( dunno if you have one) and just pray to God ( dunno if you believe in God) Then keep trying, if i were you i would visit a fertility center and get some advice and check up.. If for some reason you're not capable of ejecting your eggs, as the saying goes 'every cloud has a silver lining'. By the advice and prescriptions of a doctor, you can do in-vitrofertilization. Which is a somewhat simple procedure. The sperm from your partner are mixed with your eggs ( the eggs are obtained by inserting a fine tubule through your abdomen, lol don't worry anesthesia takes care of it) then the mixture is monitored and when the gamete is produced several gametes are inserted through your cervix and onto your uterus for development.
