I have a regular 29 day cycle, with good timing i should get pregnant you would think...?

Question

I can usually pin point the exact day i will start my period. I estimate on the calendar when i should be ovulating, but i don't get pregnant from it. I have been trying for a year to concieve and i keep hearing that if you have a regular period then you have a pretty good chance of concieving....so what else could be the problem?

O yea, im 19 too. I heard that you have a good chance if your young as well.

Answer 1

You should see your doctor about this if you have been trying to concieve. Me and my husband were trying to a year and a half so I went to my doctor and found out I have PCOS and that my husband also has low sperm count and bad mobility. It is never easy to hear that something is wrong but it is best to find and get meds to help instead of stressing each month after month. I know it hard and painful to see that your period has started once again. Good luck and best wishes.

There are SO many factors besides a regular period when it comes to getting pregnant:

1. Are you ovulating? You can have a regular period without ovulating.

2. You might not be pinpointing ovulation time correctly. If you want to really know when you are ovulating, you should chart your daily temperature. Everyone is different so just looking at a calendar won't necessarily give you that information.

3. Are you having sex at the right time around ovulation? I have found that many people think that you get pregnant after you ovulate when you actually should have sex BEFORE you ovulate. Afterwards is probably too late. You are most fertile during the three days prior to ovulation.

4. Does your partner have problems with sperm count or motility etc? If you seek treatment, the first thing they do is test BOTH of you.

5. How long have you been trying? I forget the exact figure, but if I recall correctly, it takes an average of 6 months for most people to conceive.

6. As women age, conceiving can become more difficult. It begins to decline at 30 and declines more rapidly around age 35. By age 45, the chances are practically zero.

7. Do you have a normal uterus and clear unblocked tubes?

... And more!

Basically, there are an abundance of factors that can contribute to you not getting pregnant and having a regular period is better than having an irregular one, but doesn't guarantee anything. If you are under the age of 35 and have been trying for over a year or are over the age of 35 and have been trying for 6 months, I would talk to your OB/GYN about referring you to an infertility specialist or, if that isn't positive, running tests to make sure everything is normal.

Good luck!

Answer 3

I think you need to do more than estimate your ovulation time. Try charting your basal body temperature and your cervical mucus consistency. Both can give you a very good idea of when you're really ovulating. After you do this for a while, you can see the pattern of your cycle. It's also good information to take to your doctor.

Also, you might want to have your DH/SO checked out as well.

Good luck!

Answer 4

you need to use a more accurate method for determining your ovulation. I suggest ovulation test kits. They can tell you the exact day you are ovulating so you can time it better. They are sold at almost all drug stores and grocery stores.
Check out the website I linked for lots of ttc info. good luck!

Answer 5

There could be so many possible reasons, and you are only half the story - there's your partner too!
If you have been trying for a year with no luck, you should go to a doctor to get some tests.
