how hard is it to get pregnant?

Question

I have had irregular periods all of my life~! Recently I got into a really serious relatinship and we have decided to have kids as soon as possible. Not that we are in a hurry but both his and my parents are gettin up there in age and we wanna give them grandchildren before they are gone! I have been to doctor after doctor and they tell me that there is no reason why I shouldnt be gettin pregnant! Does anyone have experience in this matter that can help me?

Answer 1

could take up to a year (or may happen tonight) generally, docs don't recommend medical assistance if you havent tried for a full year without success...
keep trying, and enjoy the process, that helps...

Answer 2

Did your doctors tell you you were for sure ovulating? Did they do blood tests or ask you to chart your temperatures? With irregular cycles you should make sure you are ovulating because that can be an indication that you do not ovulate, or that you ovulate infrequently, and of course that would have a huge impact on you getting pregnant.

Also, did your docs check to see if your tubes were clear? If your tubes are blocked there is no way for the egg to meet the sperm.

Doctors have checked you -- did they check your partner? One-third of infertile couples have male factor infertility and another third have both female and male factors.

If everything truly "looks fine", your chances of conception each cycle is around 20%. If you are not pregnant at the end of one year, you should see an infertility specialist. If you are over 35, you should only try for 6 months before seeking help.

Answer 3

I thought I would never have children as I have Endometriosis and a history of ovarian cysts. I came off the pill in May as I read Endo can die away so as I was on it for 7 years I thought I would see if this was the case with me. It wasn't and instead of going back on the pill I decided to get the Endo treated. I fell pregnant 6 weeks after coming off the pill so getting pregnant certainly wasn't as hard for me as I thought!! I had slightly irregular cycles years ago so I don't think this affects it. Depending on how long you have been trying, it can take up to a year for a healthy couple to fall pregnant so don't worry too much.

My advice would be to have sex every 3 days , and after intercourse lay on your back with a pillow under your lower back to prop up you hips so the sperm has a better chance at going in and fertilizing, lay there for at least 30 min after intercourse like this. Also you need to relax, if your constantly thinking about it, or stressing about it that can have a negative effect on your baby making ability. Me and my husband counted our days and, did the prop thing but I constantly thought about getting pregnant after each time we had sex, it wasnt till I had a few drinks and then relaxed and just enjoyed it that we got pregnant. Now were having our forst baby on Monday. Good luck !!

Answer 5

I can't tell you how hard or how easy it will be for you to get pregnant but I can tell you that although your reasons for having a child are "thoughtful" at best they're really NOT the best reasons to bring children into the world. You have to ask yourselves if you are ready financially as well as emotionally to raise children. Are you prepared to pay college tuition in the next 18-20 years? You might want to check on the cost of a college education of today and then multiply that amount by at least 5, do you have that kind of money? WILL you have that kind of money in the future, considering the cost of living keeps climbing. Don't forget that with money problems comes marital and family problems, are you emotionally prepared for THOSE things as well? Yes it is great of you to want to give your parents granchildren while they are still around to enjoy them, However unless both of your parents as well as both of his parents all have life threatening diseaeses and only a few months to live you have no way of kowing how long they're going to be around. Frankly I'd rather be financially prepared for the future and have my chidl's grandparents enjoy seeing them go off to college/get married without having to put my family in hock up to our ears and to perhaps have to borrow from my parent's pension plans to do it.

Answer 6

This is not a doctor's opinion but just my own. Make him wait two weeks without an orgasm....but in the meantime getting it stimulated...(you know how) and stopping short of orgasm. After the two week period (or 10 days if that is too much) let him be a stallion to you...if he is healthy get ready for a carnival ride. After he is finished, do it again....no let up until sunrise. Then see what happens.

Answer 7

The number one tip that i can give you is to take all the stress out of your life. If it is your main prioroty than you need to cocentrate mainly on that fact. Also if you have previously been on the pill it could take up to about 18 months before you could fall pregnant, although some people dont. Good luck with all, i wish you all the best :)

Answer 8

It really just depends on your body some women have to wait years and some get pregnant on the first try. MOstly I've noticed for alot of the women I know is about 6 months.

Answer 9

How long have you been trying? 75% of couples conceive within 9 months of trying. Are you married to this man? If not maybe this is a way of telling you, you should be married first. Me and my husband got pregnant on our honeymoon, surprising that it wasn't sooner since we weren't trying to protect from it. We are now pregnant with our second. But if this is what you want great, and good luck.
