I can't get Pregnant!!?

Question

While I am financially able to care for another child. I can't afford the expense of the medical bills to see why I can't get pregnant again.
Does anyone know of any resources for a issue like mine? I have a child from a previous relationship and now I am married, but can't provide a child for my husband. He was checked already and was proven to be fertile. This is taking a toll on our marriage. We've been trying for 2 1/2 years now

Mind/body techniques A study published in Fertility and Sterility in 2000 found that about half of the women in either a support group or a cognitive-behavioral group became pregnant, compared with only 20 percent in a control group. (Cognitive-behavioral therapy involves learning to “reframe” negative thoughts like I will never have a baby to I am doing everything I can to try to get pregnant.) “Women with fertility issues have a high degree of depression, anxiety and isolation,” says Elizabeth Grill, Psy.D., a clinical psychologist at the Center for Reproductive Medicine and Infertility at Cornell Medical School in New York City. Grill offers women a “toolbox” of coping methods, including deep abdominal breathing, meditation, self-care, visualization and cognitive therapy.

Acupuncture “Acupuncture increases blood flow to the uterus and decreases stress hormones, both of which help pregnancy attempts,” says Ann Cotter, M.D., medical director of the Atlantic Mind Body Center in Morristown, N.J. Several good studies report high success rates when acupuncture and in vitro
fertilization are combined.

Herbs Preliminary research has yielded good results with a nutritional supplement that includes chasteberry and green-tea extracts. However, experts say it’s best not to self-prescribe, so seek a qualified herbalist. The American Herbalist Guild sets standards; look for “A.H.G” after a practitioner’s name. Licensed acupuncturists (L.Ac.’s) and naturopathic physicians (N.D.’s) from an accredited four-year school also can prescribe herbs. — MARY JANE HORTON

Is it him or you?
The most common causes of infertility are problems with eggs and ovulation, the fallopian tubes and sperm. According to Resolve, 40 percent of infertility is due to a female factor, 40 percent to a male factor and 10 percent to a combination of male and female factors; 10 percent is unexplained.

Infertility’s Toll On A Marriage
Infertility is one of the most stressful things to befall a marriage, says Kristen Magnacca, author of Love and Infertility (LifeLine Press, 2004). It can trigger arguments, mood swings and feelings of isolation. What’s more, it can take all of the fun out of your sex life. “You’re making a baby, not making love,” Magnacca says. She recommends scheduling enjoyable, non-baby-making sex in the early part of your menstrual cycle and seeking counseling if needed. She also encourages having a written “fertility game plan.” “This ensures that both parties are on the same page,” Magnacca says.

Going the high-tech route
The following commonly performed fertility treatments are roughly listed from least to most invasive (and expensive). Costs depend largely on location, and success rates are very approximate because they vary greatly based on several factors, including a woman’s age, her and her partner’s diagnoses or health history and where the procedure is performed.

Treatment Description Approximate cost (per cycle) Approximate success rate (% per cycle)
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) with “washed” sperm A large number of sperm are concentrated into a small volume of fluid and inserted into the uterus. $150–$300 3–6
Donor insemination A donor’s sperm is inserted into the uterus. $400 5–15
Ovulation-enhancing drugs such as clomiphine citrate (Clomid, Serophene) These pills induce ovulation, normalize irregular cycles and increase egg production. $100 3–9
Follicle-stimulating hormones (Follistim, Gonal F) plus IUI These injected drugs stimulate egg production. $1,500–$6,000 10–25
In vitro fertilization (IVF) An egg or (usually) eggs are retrieved from the woman and fertilized outside of her body. The embryos are then transferred to the uterus. $5,000–$12,000, plus $2,000–$6,000 for drugs (much less if using frozen embryos) 20–40
Donor egg A woman undergoes IVF using a donated egg. $20,000–$35,000 40–50
Third-party pregnancy A surrogate conceives using her, your or a donor’s egg and your partner’s or a donor’s sperm.$30,000–$60,000 20–40

I got this info from a website and some treatments seem pretty cheap. To me, if a person can afford another child, they probably can afford a few hundred dollars at a time.

Answer 2

I did see something about this were a woman had sex with two different men but it was during her ovulation period and she became pregnant with fraternal twins. When she did paternity testing to find out who the father was is when they found out that each baby had a different father. Now I don't think this is your case because you were already pregnant when you had sex and technically when you are pregnant you don't ovulate. Plus at four months into your pregnancy your cervix is closed therefore no sperm can get in there. So yeah please be careful and protect yourself from STD's.

Answer 3

The first thing you need to do is ascertain that you are ovulating. That is the most logical cause of your infertility. Do a BBT chart (you can find links all over the net for online charts) and verify, try an OPK tho if your infertility is because you are a PCOS woman you will get a lot of false positives due to elevated LH levels.
Good luck, HTH

Answer 4

I DO NOT share this with many people, but, I had a hard time concieving my youngest son. I tried the last resort method for me, which was the upside down method. I called it,
"The Jack Hammer"!!! LOL
Let me explain....
after sex, do not get up!! Lie on your back, hanging over the bed with your head touching the floor, and pelvis up for 30 minutes or so to help the little sperm swim the right way...IT WORKS!!!

How to get Pregnant Faster – Top Ten Tips

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.
