omg i do the same thing. it took me and my husband over 2yrs to get pregnant. sometimes i go like 6months without one, they thought that me having a baby would help but it didnt. i have done this since i started around 13 and i am now 26 so i know exactly what you are goin through. for us it is just a lot harder to get pregnant bc we do not ovulate like normal. i even tried clomid a regularly used fertility drug, 5 months after i took it i finally got pregnant but it wasnt from the drug i guess the good Lord just thought it was time. consult a dr if you have had all the test that show that you do not have endometriosis, clogged filopian tubes(it really happens) or any other medical problems then the dr probably will try fertility drugs but be careful you may end up with more than one child. but that wouldnt be so bad either, considering the problems. if you do try a fertility drug and you get concerned about the way you are having your period then go to a dr right away or call . sometimes you will have a period that is nothing but old blood and could be anywhere from dark brown to black in color. i am so glad that i am not the only one that has had this problem for me it has been a nightmare most women take stuff to not have a period i just wish i could take stuff to have one i would really like to be kept updated about the progress ya know if you do get pregnant or not. this is so close to my life that you have no clue GOOD LUCK :)

your cycle has little to do with whether you can get preggers or not. it's when you're ovulating that you need to figure out. if you're fertile, it'll happen. having your period is just your body's way of cleaning house. when you're having your period, all that's happening is your body is shedding its uterine lining. for most women, the uterus spends approximately 3 weeks of every month with in a state of readiness, just waiting for a fertilized egg to implant. if it doesn't happen, your body says, "well, this is getting kind of old, lets make some new stuff". if you don't have you period on the 20-30 day cycle that other women do, it doesn't mean there's anything wrong. it's actually quite common. ask your doc how to figure out when your ovulating. it can happen at any time of the month, even several times a month. definitely keep trying, but quit worrying so much about when or if you'll get a baby out of it.

Just keep trying. I am the same way.
It took me for ever to get pregant the first time, but once I had my daughter I became a baby machine and keep poping them out.
I know its hard and very upsetting but if everything is medically fine it just may take some time.

You can get a First Responce Ovulation kit. They're expensive, but they work. Other than that, do it every other day for a month or two and it'll up your odds :) Good luck to you.

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.
