Don't give up hope just yet! My husband and i have been trying for over a year and are still trying with hopes that all will eventually fall in place. Yes weight does definately have a factor. I had laproscopy surgery to ensure that "everything" was working properly and had gained a few pounds in the past few years - 20 to be exact ! Anyway my point is my dr said that an increase in a womens weight can cause a decrease in her fertility and that it can throw off her cycle as well making it harder to track her ovulation dates. A few other intresting things he told my husband and i were... "He" shouldn't take steaming hot baths while trying to concieve because ..the heat will decrease his sperm count- nor should he wear "tighty whiteys". He also said that after intercouse it "couldn't hurt" for the women to lie in bed with a pillow propped under her butt for 15 min or so .. after that the sperm that is left would not of been strong enough to make it all the way there any how. Good Luck to yall.

It is usually recommeded if the woman is over 35 and you have been trying for more than 6 months she should see her doctor.
Her age is still a healthy child bearing age, many women give birth even when they are much older, it's much more common these days. But fertility does start to decrease after the age of 35. Don't panic, trying for 6 months does not mean she can't get pregnant. There could be some physical reason she hasn't gotten pregnant yet. It could be something easy so don't fret just yet, but don't wait it's better to rule out a problem than worry about getting pregnant. Often times it may be irregular ovulation cyles, etc. You didn't say if you were using any method to track when she is ovulating. The doctor can help you with this if you haven't already done this. Go with her to the OB/GYN and discuss this with her doctor. Often there is no reason to refer to a fertility specialist. If he does recommends a specialist do not get caught up in negative thought, specialist help many patients and their partners get pregnant every year. Seeking help is not something you need to be afraid of. Worrying in itself can throw off her cycle.
Sometimes people experience secondary infertility (having trouble getting pregnant with the a second child). It's quite common. Again I would recommend she see her doctor. It took us quite awhile to get pregnant with our second child. But we saw a doctor early and that helped. She can also begin taking prescription prenatal vitamins which are high in folic acid which will help prevent birth defects. Most physicians recommend taking them while trying to conceive.
Sometimes being overweight can cause problems getting pregnant, but you didn't say just how overweight she was. It usually doesn't interfiere unless she is morbidly obese(more than 100 lbs overweight), in which case her doctor may recommend it would be healthier for her and the baby to lose some weight. But this is for the doctor to decide and many women concieve while they are overweight.
A trip to the OB/GYN is worth putting your mind at ease and knowing you are giving your baby the best start. Good luck, while we needed some help getting pregnant with our second, we had no problems getting pregnant with our third and fourth children.

Yes, weight and lifestyle can have negative effects on try ing to conceive, though her age shouldn't be an issue. Try abstaining for a few weeks and then time it right for the middle of her cycle. It's sad but true that sometimes two people's acidity etc. just don't match up and they cannot conceive toether even though they are both fertile otherwise. Just relax and if it hasn't happened over 7 mths. from now go see a doc. they can give more information.
Enjoy your together time, it won't last long when bub comes!

6 months is nothing on the trying for a baby. You should start to be a bit concerned after about 12 to 18 months.
We ended up taking my temperature twice a day every day to find out when I was ovulating (temp goes up a couple of degrees) and got pregnant with our first month of trying it, however everyone is different.
But at the end of the day you have to "do it" loads to give you more chance, you only have 12 chances a year to concieve. Have Fun !!!!

it usually takes 6-12 months for some people to get pregnant.she can help herself by taking evening prim rose. if both of you are over weigh this can cause lack of firtility also.
