Sometimes you don't conceive because you are so stressed about wanting to have a baby. You will conceive when you are ready and not before unfortunately. The best thing I can suggest is that you and your partner/husband go away for the weekend and forget about getting pregnant. More often than not you will end up pg within a few cycles if not straight away.
Enjoy trying though

Your not doing anything wrong!!! Some couples just take longer to conceive than others. Even if you time everything absolutely perfectly there is only a 15-25% chance of getting pregnant depending on your age, health, etc. But some things you can do to optimize your chances are:
Start charting your bbt to help you know exactly when you are ovulating, a very good website for that is http://www.fertilityfriend.com - it pretty much does all the work for you, you just have to input your temps.
Buy some home ovulation tests, Clear Blue Easy makes on with a smiley face as the result which will also tell you when you are about to ovulate.
Read up and well educate yourself to better help you understand your body, the signs of ovulation, etc. The more you know the better you can prepare.
Some other good websites are:
http://www.babyzone.com
http://www.babycenter.com
http://www.twoweekwait.com
http://www.webmd.com
There are good articles on all of them and they all offer really good information. Twoweekwait is one of my fave websites after I ovulate to give me hope for a positive. The best thing you can do is just relax and enjoy the process! I would also make an appt w/ your doc and just discuss a plan and get a check up to make sure you are healthy and all of your levels are normal. Low progesterone is a common problem that makes conceiving difficult. So get checked out! Good luck and lots of baby dust to you!

They say wanting it to happen too much it wont happen,ive heard loads of people say to me ive been trying but nothing and then when they just about give up hope it happens try to relax more a problem with fertillity isnt indicated untill 12 months of trying anyway a dcoter would send you away to carry on as normal at this point if you get past 12months without anything you should see your docter.But secondly you may be doing it at the wrong times its a good idea to start charting and working out your menses a few months before starting to try as you get the best possible chance each month then try a ovulation predictor kit too.

Pinpointing your ovulation day is fairly simple and you don't need to spend money on ovulation kits as your body will tell you what is going on for free!
Take your temperature when you wake up every morning. It will rise when you ovulate (12-16 days before your next period). To give you some idea my temp. rises from 36.4 or 5 to 36.7 degrees. Once released your egg remains viable for fertilisation for just 12-24 hours.
Also keep an eye on your mucus. It will become clear and stretchy like egg white as you approach ovulation. Sperm can surivie for up to 5 days in this more fertile mucus.
When trying to conceive it is recommended that you have intercourse every other day during the week before your temperature rises and then for a day or two after.
The Couple to Couple League run classes and also offer an excellent home study course which I can highly recommend if you want to learn more about your body's fertility pattern and charting your cycle. There is also a charity called LIFE UK which runs a very sucessful fertility awareness programme which would be ideal for you.
Lastly, make sure you are taking prenatal vitamins and relax - stress delays ovulation. I wish you all the best in trying for a baby.

In the big picture 8 months ain't a long time really, and the nhs won't offer tests until you've been trying for 2 years. A doc said though, usually, a man's sperm stays in a womans body for 48 hours, so if you have sex at least every 2 days, there'll always be sperm there for when you become fertile. I'm sure you'll fall soon, good luck x

It took me almost 3 years to conceive my first. Honestly, don't TRY. Just have fun, relax.....once I said that I was done trying to have a baby, I found out about a month later that I was pregnant. If you're really concerned about fertility issues, you and your partner should go in together to get tested. He may have a low sperm count or they're not moving enough to reach the egg...or you could have small cysts that prevent the egg to get where it needs to go....I"m not a doctor so I can't tell you exactly what could be wrong. Good luck to you...I hope this helps!

Hard to tell, you gave no information to determine what may be wrong.
Contact your OB/GYN and have a consult. The Dr should be able to give you some advise.
Be patient, sometimes it can take a while, and Mother Nature has a way of knowing when the best time will be.

It is difficult sometimes when trying to conceive, Sometimes there is really no specific answer except to keep trying. You should go to the doctor and have a complete physical to be certain you are healthy and have no problems that would prevent you from becoming pregnant. Also, there may be something you can do to help you become pregnant. Your doctor would have answers for you.

I hear it takes for the average couple it takes around one and a half years. For me it took two and a half years and now I have a perfect baby boy! Don't get frustrated, keep trying and if you stress it will just take longer. We were going to start on Clomid and that week we were going to start it, I had no stress and found out I was pregnant before taking it that week!! Good Luck!
