If you haven't had any luck you should probably make an appointment with your OBGYN who can test your husband to make sure he can have kids. If he tests ok the next step is for you to be tested as well, Your tests will be blood tests of the hormones and his will be a semen test witch is pretty easy to get.

Infertility is defined as 12 months of trying to achieve pregnancy without success. The average couple has a 25% chance each month of getting pregnant. The causes of infertility are many and work-ups can be very involved. The first thing to do is make sure you are releasing a egg each month. You can do this by getting a urine ovulation kit at the drug store. Starting on day 10 of your cycle (Day 1 is the first day of your period) you will dip your urine. The kit is testing for a surge in your system of a hormone called LH. This is the hormone that causes you to release an egg. It will turn positive 24 hours before you ovulate. Once it turns positive you will want to have sexual activity once a day for the next three days. If you do not get a positive LH surge then you are not releasing an egg and should see a qualified physician immediately.
Your husband should also avoid hot tubs, saunas, etc. as this can decrease sperm count and function. If you do not achieve pregnancy in the next three months I would seek the advice of your physician.
Good luck and don't fall for the "Honey we have to have sex everyday" that your husband may be trying to pass off on you.

I have been trying with my husband for 4 years!! We just had a miscarriage last year. It is hard to go through this!!! Most people leave very insensitive answers. Have you tried the ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor? That is what I just started using. They help you know just when the right time to try is each month. So at least you know you are doing it on the right days!!!
Good luck to you. . . I hope I can finally get pregnant again. :-( I would have had a baby on the 7th of this month. I am still a little sad. I'm not sure how to "get over it".

What has your obgyn said? As I found out, it wasn't a matter of timing. Everyone always says it will happen when you stop trying. Try maybe seeing a fertility doctor. I did, and found out I had polycystic ovary syndrome. I know several women who've seen a fertility dr. and have got pregnant within months. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Find a Reproductive Endocrinologist and they should run tests on BOTH you and your husband to see where the issue is. With us, it turns out we had male-factor infertility that a Urologist that hubby had seen before just blew off when he saw the test results. Go straight to a specialist.

I feel alot of stress, trying to create a baby can cause it. Try meditation techniques and maybe get some reiki or body energy work done.
I heard about a new technique called Reconnection, try it. Your body needs to settle down and let the energy flow in balance. Both of you need to relax.

Maybe you are trying too hard. You will get pregnant when GOD wants you to, maybe if you try to think of other things in your life and not focus on getting pregnant right now that will help.
