Question about getting pregnant?

Question

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for about 6 months now, I have done everything from charting my temp. to knowing my ovulation dates, and still nothing, does anyone else have this problem or have any advice for my husband and I to take to hopefully soon have a baby

I forgot to mention, the last time my husband and I went in for a monthly checkup he said we were both fine, my Gyno hasn't said anything that was abnormal, but thanks for all your answers.

Answer 1

Pray My friend Pray! Prayer is very powerful!

Answer 2

I'm 38 years old and my husband is 37. We have 2 children and we would both like our third (and last). We've been trying seriously for 4 months (monitoring BBT etc), now with no results. In month 4 (currently), we've decided to just go with the flow. I'm not monitoring anything and we've just been enjoying ourselves. I know I've ovulated and am just days over that end of things but we'll know soon enough....... I'll let you all know if it worked. Mind you, I will say, knowing the possible complications or birth defects associated with "late pregnancies", we'll both be limiting the 'trying out' period. Good luck to all :-) Polo

Answer 3

I wish you luck - there is so much information out there it can become too clinical. You are both healthy and (I assume) happy so your time will come. My husband and I are also trying (not for very long yet) and it can almost become an obsession.

My friend tried for a year, and nothing happened, a young girl from their church became pregnant and they arranged to adopt her baby. Weeks after the adoption was final they found out they were pregnant and went on to have 2 healthy babies in addition to their beautiful adopted son.

Answer 4

You are aware that 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 5

I have been trying for almost a year now, but have not tried half as hard as you have. Neverthless, my sister in law kept trying for 3 years before she was pregnant with her lovely daughter. The Gyn first put her on Clomid and then gave her something to make her CM thinner in order for the sperms to be able to live longer and swim easier. She remained on prescription for 2.5 years before she got pregnant.
Don't lose hope.

Answer 6

Six months is nothing - wait a year or two before you start worrying. Just enjoy "trying" and give up the stress of temps and charting!

Answer 7

We tried to have a baby for 2 years and it was getting very frustrating so we went to a fertility doctor who said for me to get a curette (D & C). I fell pregnant almost immediately and I am now 10 weeks pregnant. I have heard other people say they fell pregnant very quickly after a curette as well.

Answer 8

Sometimes, stress and pressure could lead to problems with TTC.

Maybe you could elevante your hips during sex so that when your husband ejaculates in you, you get to hold the semen in you without it leaking out, which creates higher chances of getting pregnant.

All the best and Good luck!

Answer 10

hmmm, i have 7 children and never had any problem getting pregnant...obviously. i would def. see a doctor and get things checked out. 6 months seems like a long time. good luck to you and your husband.

Answer 11

It took me a year to get pregnant. I thought something was wrong with me or him and i worried every month when i would start my period but you know once i stopped worrying about getting pregnant that is when it happened.

When a brand new little soul is meant to be brought into this world it will happen no matter what you do or how hard you try.


Trying to Conceive - Helpful tips for getting pregnant
Find out when you are ovulating
There are several ways you can do this. One of the easiest ways is to purchase a Basal thermometer and start charting your temperatures. You can use Justmommies free fertility chart to record and keep track of your temperatures. Make sure you take you use a basal thermometer.

It is the most accurate for charting ovulation. Take your temperature as soon as you wake up, before you get out of bed, go to the bathroom or do anything. Try to take your temperature at the same time every morning if you can. This way your chart will be more precise. The best time to have sex is between the time your temperature drops and before it rises again.

One other way you can find out when you are ovulating is by using an ovulation predictor test. You can purchase ovulation tests in bulk online to make it more affordable. Ovulation kits measure the amount of Lutenizing Hormone in your body. Right before you ovulate your body releases a large amount of LH. The test kits are easy to use. They are very similar to a pregnancy test. You will have a reference line and then a sample line to compare that to. Once you show a positive test for ovulation you should have intercourse within twenty-four hours.

Some of the best ways to predict when you are ovulating are by watching your body for signs of ovulation. Some women feel cramping on one side when they ovulate. Ovulation pain should not be the only thing you watch for but it is one indicator of ovulation. You should also keep an eye on your cervical mucous. You will notice that your cervical mucous will pick up several days before ovulation. When your cervical mucous starts to look like egg white and becomes really slippery, this is the best time to get pregnant. The slippery consistency helps to carry the sperm up the vaginal canal. Some doctors recommend taking Robitussin to help thin out your mucous which will help to transport the semen.

Some dos and don’ts for getting pregnant

Do limit movement after intercourse. Standing up after intercourse can cause the semen to leak out. Try to wait twenty minutes after sex before getting up and moving around.

Do try to keep the sperm inside your vagina longer. You can hold the labia together to try to keep the sperm inside of you. You can also try putting a pillow under your pelvis to help tilt your body so the sperm can travel upwards easier.

Do try to make sex enjoyable. Sometimes when a couple is trying to conceive it will affect the quality of their sex life. More enjoyable sex means higher sperm count and better “swimmers”.

Do limit intercourse and male masturbation prior to the days you are trying to conceive. It will help to increase the man’s sperm count and improve your chances of getting pregnant.

Do take prenatal vitamins if you are trying to conceive. Folic acid and other vitamins are very important during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Don’t drink alcohol or use drugs at the time of conception. This applies to both the male and female. There is strong evidence that alcohol can effect your chances of getting pregnant.

Don’t douche after having intercourse. It can wash out the sperm that has just entered your body.

Don’t have oral sex prior to intercourse. There is some evidence that the bacteria in the mouth can cause damage to male sperm.

Don’t have anal sex prior to intercourse. Bacteria in the anas can be carried into the vagina from the man’s penis. If you do have anal sex before intercourse, make sure your partner washes his penis first.

If you have been trying to conceive for over a year please consult a doctor. You may need to have tests run or use fertility treatments.
