3 months is nothing to be concerned about. Doctors wont do tests for infertility until you have been trying for at least a year. A normal healthy couple with no issues will fall pregnant within 12 months. The more stressed out you are about it the less likely it is to happen. So relax and try to enjoy the experience and think of us poor souls who have been trying for years!!! All the best.

I am sorry you are worried and having a hard time. I have been trying to get pregnant for over 4 years, so I know the struggles and the heartaches.
First off, three months is nothing. A person only has 25% chance of conceving every month if every condition were normal and perfect. So don't dispair yet.
If you are worried about infertilty and other problems, make an appointment with your gyno. Have your partner go with you, and be ready to ask alot of questions. I suggest you go armed with as much information about yourself and your partner as possible. Here is a list of things to take with you: You menstral history, you sex history, and a list of questions that you have.
I also suggest you don't be shy!!! Your doctor can only help you as much as you let him/her. Tell them everything, even if it is a small thing, and it will help them help you.
Before you get pregnant there are things you should do now. If you smoke, do drugs, or drink then quit. Also, go and make sure all of your immunization shots are up to date for both you and your partner. You can also start taking a folic acid supplement, or a over-the-counter pre-natal vitamin. (Having enough folic acid is essential!) You can make sure your diet is good, and eat baby friendly foods.
Fear is the opposite of faith! You have to have hope and faith that it will all work out. Don't give up yet. I haven't.
There are several things, even small, that might be wrong with you or your partner. Don't worry, most of these things can be dealt with easily. Get a sperm count for him. Get a check-up for yourself. Are your cycles regular? These are things to take up with your doctor.
Websites I have found helpful are: www.webmd.com and www.babycenter.com . BabyCenter is great with all types of info, from diet, sexual positions, finacial issues, to complete conception info.
Also, if you aren't already, chart your cycles. A website I use, www.mymonthlycycles.com, is an online charting tool. You can join for free, and put in the last few dates of your periods, and it tells you your average cycle length (28 days is good, but from 25-35 day cycles are normal!) and when you will be the most fertile.
Books I recommend are Making a Baby: Everything You Need to Know to Get Pregnant, written by Debra Fulghum Bruce and Samuel Thatcher, MD., Ph.D. I got a copy at Borders Bookstore for $15.00. Your library should have tons of books to check out for free.
I hope this helps. Good luck, and remember, relaxing will help!

3 months is not a long time at all. You need to relax, you have yourself so worked up and stressed that this will not do your body any good. Your reproduction system is very active around your emotions. Eat healthy, exercise to get fit and also to help relax you and positive thinking. Take your folic acid and an iron supplement if need. Try not to think about having to get pregnant and just leave things happen naturally. The more you get stressed out over this the less likely it is going to happen any time soon.
Best of luck!!!!!!!

Stop trying. The stress your putting on yourself could be holding you back. Let things happen. Don;t try to get pregnant and don't use protection. Wait at least another 3-6 months before worrying about things. you've only had 3 ovulation cycles at best.
Good Luck

with my 1st child I concieved the 1st month we tried, and with my 2nd we tried for over 2 yrs - fianlly being referred for tests after 18months, turned out I had PCOS and was prescribed Metformin and it must of been that I relaxed that there was finally a solution to my infertility problems, as I concieved within 2 weeks of taking the Metformin - which really wouldnt of worked that quickly.
Everyone is different, and I suggest you see your Gp - if they know your having a problem now, it will be much easier to get a referral - p.s. it might be your partner who has a low sperm count / mobility - so dont think its all your fault.

3 mths is not long at all.
You need to wait atleast 12 months before seeing a specialist and then they do testing over so many months.
Yes I know of a lady who had IVF for her first then fell preg naturally with the second.
I tried for 9 months (which is not long either) to conceive my second and when he was 6months old I conceived twins naturally.
Anything can happen... maybe start tracking your cycle.
Good luck.

there is still more time to keep trying for instance include a diet with things like spinach, my doctor said spinach helps with chemicals that help before and after conception.try also to establish your partners diet as this may influence the sperm he produces. but my best bet is that don't get worried yet try various sex positions this may help.best wishes. i have been waiting for a year and am hoping for a miracle one day.

Don't start worring until you have beent trying for a year! It is absolutely normal for it to take up to a year to get pregnant. I started tracking my basal temperture so we could know when prime baby making time was. But it still took us nine months to get pregnant.
Worring can affect your chances of getting pregnant, so don't even think about it until you have been trying for a year. I swear by the basal tempature... it helped us alot, and it was nice to be so aware of my body, and what it was doing.

The question is not will you ever conceive, but will you ever be able to hold in your arms a child that you can love. And the answer to the latter is most definitely yes. The world needs more people like you who are so desperate to care.
