Stress can cause you not to become pregnant, i bet if you stopped thinking about it so much and took a nice break away maybe a holiday to take your mind off becoming pregnant, you will. a good diet for both you and your partner can help, good luck to you x

I know how you feel, my partner and I were trying for 2 years. Every time I had a period I would get very low. I have PCOS and have very erratic periods which didn't help, anytime I was slightly late I would start getting my hopes up and then I would be shattered when I would eventually come on.
In the end I decided to go back on the pill, I needed a years break. The doc prescribed me a pill that would help more with the PCOS and I was waiting for my next period to come to start taking it, my b/f and I took a holiday to take our minds off it. Once again I was late so I took a precautionary pregnancy test that came back positive!!!! I'm convinced the moment I stopped concentrating on it all the time my body relaxed and that's what made me fall.
Try not to stress yourself out, it can effect your periods and therefore your chances of conceiving. Maybe plan a holiday or break, something for just the two fo you.
It might also be beneficiary for you to see a doctor, just to let them know you are trying and to talk you through your concerns and worries.
Good luck

More than 90% of couples actively trying for a baby get pregnant within the first year, but it is normal for it to take up until that long! In all probability there is nothing wrong and it WILL happen! Most doctors won't even try and find a problem until you have been trying for a year, unless you are over 35, when they will see you after 6 months. If you are worried, do see your GP in the first instance.

I tried for 2 years before I fell pregnant with my son! Don't worry !I know you're sick of being told that but it can take ages!
There was nothing wrong with my other half or me, it just took a long time.
Get hold of "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Wechsler and start monitoring your cycle.
If you're really stressing out, go see your doctor and ask for some tests to be carried out - basically blood tests to check your hormone levels and sperm analysis for your other half. although if you've only been trying for 6 months the doc will probably tell you to come back in another 6.
A couple aged 20-30 should try for 18 months before seeking medical advice. Ages 30-35 try for 12 months and over 35 try for 6 months.

doctors are unlikely to investigate you until you ahve been trying for a couple of years, however, the stress of wanting a baby could be causing you to miss your periods, or just make them late, or perhaps you cycle is more than 28 days. The best way, and I know it sounds trite, but it is the take it easy and relax, don't pressure yourselves, but you do ahve to give it more time. The fact that you are testing yourself every month shows a great deal of stress.. relax....

Do not listen to these yahoos who tell you to just relax and don't stress about it. That's crap. If there is something wrong, which is not unusual, then relaxing is not going to get you pregnant. You can see a dr anytime you want and have them run tests to see if there is a fertility issue. If one doctor won't see you, find someone who will. They will do a semen analysis, hormone level tests, make sure your tubes are open, etc. Most problems can be fixed. Even if nothing is wrong with you, it may help your peace of mind to go to a dr. Good luck!

6 months is not too long. If it gets to be a year, consult a doctor.
Giving the fact that your periods are "missed" makes it seem like there is an issue. Are you saying that you're late each month? Or that you haven't had one in 6 months?
If they are irregular, then it's going to be a challenge to pinpoint when you're most fertile. If you haven't already, try an ovulation test.
If the odd periods is something new, see a doctor.

6 months only? I have tried for almost 2 years...why? because if you think too much about it, you go under stress and you won't fall pregnant. Anyway I had also to follow a hormonic treatment in order to speed up the process, as due to too much stress my period stopped for a few months...Now I am 7months pregnant and I am very happy about it, fortunately everything is going well.
I would advice you to talk to a gynaecologist about your problem, he has the right solution for sure!
Good luck!

it must be very frustrating if you are trying for such a new joy in your life and it's taking so long. If you were previousely on birth control for a long time, that could have an effect on conceiving. after a year and your still not pregnant you might want to talk with a fertility doctor or have you and your partner checked to see if one of you are infertile.

Phps. this helps you and your partner. Be easy when making sex. In germany we say, when the woman comes first, then it will be a boy. So if a man want to have a boy he must be very tender and do all what kamasutra priests know.
So HE has to make all that you have a great time, when you (how do you say) have sexual intercourses.
HE is at duty. He has to wait and make it nice.
