As the others have said, you need to stop stressing. The best thing you can do is get a calendar and track your cycle. Women generally ovulate 14 days after the first day of your period, and you are fertile for 3-5 days after that. So in truth, you've only been able to conceive four times since you started trying. Mark your calendar and have sex as much as possible during that time. The rest of the month you won't be able to get pregnant, no matter how much you try. After intercourse, elevate your legs for 15 minutes to keep the semen inside so it can do its job.
Good luck to you and Blessings

No girl....you "CAN" get pregnant. He could be the most fertile guy on the planet and if the timings not right it Will not matter.
There is a four day window every month when intercourse is likely to result in pregnancy. Your most fertile time is about 12 to 15 days before the beginning of the next menstrual period. Cycle Days 12-15 would be the most likely days for intercourse to result in pregnancy. At this time, the woman's pituitary gland dramatically increases production of the hormone LH. This increase is commonly known as the "LH surge". Within one and a half days after the LH surge, a follicle in the ovary ruptures and releases a mature egg. This process is called ovulation. The time around ovulation is the most optimal time to have intercourse in order to enhance the chance for pregnancy. As soon as the LH surge is detected, intercourse should begin. Even though ovulation has yet to take place, sperm can live up to 72 hours within the female reproductive tract. Therefore, sperm should be present and ready for fertilization when the egg is released. Intercourse should again take place the day of ovulation and the following day to further optimize the chance for conception.
Good luck...and enjoy.

No, many couples can take a year or longer. Be patient, educate yourself on ovulation and the timing of intercourse to be sure you are hitting the right days and try to enjoy this time. I know it feels like a lifetime but four months is really not very long at all, considering that even with perfect timing there is only a 20-25% chance of pregnancy each month. Don't worry yourself, look at all the people in this world. They got here somehow and it is more than likely that you are going to get pregnant on your own very soon.

No that doesn't mean you can't have babies. Were you on birth control pills? I have like 3 or 4 friends that were on the pills and when they got off of them and tried to get pregnant, it took them about a year. EVERY ONE of them it took a year so, if you were on the pill and now you are not, it may take some time. It takes a while for your body to get back to normal after pumping your body w/hormones for however long you did it. That is why I do not take birth control that messes w/my body. I use condoms cuz forget it, I don't want my body going out of wack. I am really sensitive to birth control anyways. I was on a shot and that caused me so much anxiety, i was having attacks and had to get put on anxiety meds and am still on them and haven't done the shot for 4 or 5 years now. btw......i just had a baby girl in October.
all you have to do is have sex every day and put your legs up for like 10 mins. after sex. you eventually will get preggers as long as nothing is wrong. which i doubt there is.

NO WAY!!! It takes the average couple up to a year to conceive... but even if you arent by then dont get discouraged!!! Me and mine have been trying for 2 years... i was told i couldnt get pregnant by my dr... but we found out last thursday we are 10 weeks pregnant! :) dont give up!! And a little advice...you may be tryig to hard... we slacked off of sex ... only having it about once a week or so and had given up on having our own baby... and thats when we got pregnant, keep your chin up and give it time :) miracles happen when you least expect them

Pregnancy comes easy for some and difficult for others. Being all stress up can be one contributing factor why you can't get pregnant. Learn to relax and allow things to take its course.

It can take awhile to become pregnant. Search the internet for information on monitoring when you are ovulating. I hope your wish comes true soon!!!

No, dear, that is not what it means.... Some women take years of "trying". Stop trying. Relax and accept God's will, whatever that is.
