my boyfriend thinks that maybe he cant have children for medical reasons but was given the all clear 5 years ago...we have been trying for just under a year now and nothing has happened...our relationship has become really hard because weve been trying so hard to make this happen and are getting inpatient...we are so desperate and always get our hopes up every month then are left disapionted...hes always said he cant wait to see what both our genes together will produre and cant wait to see what features of each of us it has...its also become very emotional...although i was on the pill for a year ...does taking the pill restrict you from concieving for any time period?

i was on the pill for 8 years before i decided to try for a baby. it made no difference.
regarding time, have you both been to get checked out recently at the doctors?
the more you stress about it, the longer it will take, trying for a baby is hard, especially after every month nothing happens, just don't make it all about babies, love making should be so personal and loving too.

It is recommended that you wait 3 months after quitting the pill before you try, but that's more to do with being able to accurately date the pregnancy.
I was on the pill for a couple of years, then switched to other hormonal contraceptives- the patch and the ring for a total of 5 years all together. I concieved within a month of quitting and have a beautiful son.
Have your gyno check you over to make sure all your bits are working correctly, and if they are, relax. When the time is right, things will happen.

You need to listen here, because i've been where you are.
A doctor wont do anything (depending you are under 40) until you have been trying for a year.
Why does your boyfriend think he cant have children?
This is the most important thing and I think the hardest. You can not let this affect you as a couple. nearly impossible. You have to rem why you want children together. BECAUSE YOU LOVE EACH OTHER. keep hold of that thought. You will need to lean on each other if there are any problems.
I wish you so much luck...

The pill can cause some cycle irregularities, but if you are having periods then that shows that the pill is not affecting you any more.
If you have been trying for a year with no success you should see a doctor and get some tests.

The pill has nothing to do with restricting your ability to become pregnant, that's why you could not miss a pill when you were taking them, as you could become pregnant. I assume both of you have been tested and your boyfriends sperm evaluated to make sure that neither of your have a physical problem. If all of that has been done. Then just relax and let it happen. Have you heard of people not being able to conceive and either just giving up and letting it go or adopting a child and then getting pregnant? Well, that very well could happen to you and your boyfriend. Also, before you get pregnant, why don't you make it legal and become husband and wife.

the pill can make you take longer for your fertility to get back to normal.i have never personally been on the pill,but have heard alot about it.also your boyfriends problem might make things a bit harder (its hard to tell as we dont know what the problem is)
however it can take people over a year to get pregnant WITHOUT any medical problems! me and my fiance tried for over 7months to try for a baby,and there is no problems what - so - ever. so it could be just something that needs a bit more time.
i know its hard to be patient especially as its wanted soooo much,and when you have disappointments. your time will come when your body is ready. try not to let it get you down,or too stressed as this itself can cause you problem getting pregnant,not to mention the strain it can cause to your relationship.
try having sex for sex and not for making a baby,its the same thing if you think about it,but instead of stressing, it will be much more fun.
i'm sure your turn to be blessed will come!
if your still not happy after a year try talking to your dr,as most drs wont consider fertility problems until after one year as thats how long it usually takes to get pregnant.

i took the pill for 5 years and it took 2 years for me to conceive and carry a baby to term, had 4 miscarriages before having a health full term baby and now i am expecting my 3rd son any day now.
I would suggest you not consuming, sodas, high refined sugars, and unhealthy fats.
Take a multi vit. with FDA recommended folic acid. Eat a health well balanced diet.
Drink lots of water and get regular exercise.
It seemed that after we stopped trying to have a baby, i got pregnant, I was also on 81 mg of aspirin a day to help in courage a health placenta. Just relax.
Blessings!

My different cousing took 7 years to get pregnant. She gave delivery final month. stable good fortune. additionally, a doctor can examine you and enable you already know if each and every thing is o.ok. it could no longer additionally be you, it could additionally be your guy.

yes i think it six months before you come off the pill before you should try for a baby but that doesnt mean you wont if your trying it can take from 1 to 2 years before you may get pregnant so dont worry until you have reached that period.

How long the pill's effects last can really vary from woman to woman.
If you have been trying for a year, I would probably go see your ob/gyn for an infertility workup. He or she can make sure that your hormone levels and everything are A-OK.
