It's a sad day for me!!!?

Question

well i was hoping and praying this month would be the month but i was wrong again!!! i am 20 years old and have never heard of anyone having this many problems!! i have a great job and a great husband so we would make good parents! we have been trying now for 5 months has anyone else had this problem? also i heard taking folic acid increases chances of pregnancy is that true?

Answer 1

Folic acid helps prevent birth defects in babies once you become pregnant. Are you sure you're making love at the right time? When we were trying to become pregnant with our #1, we used a fertility monitor and discovered that I ovulate on day 9, not day 14 like most women. So, we were missing the boat a lot.

I suggest either purchasing a fertility monitor (clear blue easy makes one although it is a bit pricey) or just using the disposable ovulation sticks available at Target. Good luck honey.

Answer 2

Start taking prenatal vitamins, the folic acid doesn't help you conceive faster but it helps when you are pregnant for a healthy pregnancy.

The average couple takes between 8 months and a year to conceive so don't worry yet. The less you stress about it the more likely it is to happen. If you don't already try tracking your cycles using www.fertilityfriend.com so you know when you are most fertile.

It took my husband and I a year and a half to conceive and there were no medical problems, sometimes God has a time line in mind that we just have to wait for.

Answer 3

My brother and sis in law have been trying for 6 years now and went therough the heartache of losing a few first trimester pregnancies. They stopped trying, started talking about adoption, took a nice long 3 week vacation, when they got home she wasn't feeling well, figured maybe she got food poisoning on the cruise. When she started gaining weight she went to the Dr., by the time she had put 2 and 2 together, she was past the first trimester and is expecting a baby girl in April. Sometime you've just gotta relax.

Answer 4

My husband and i tried for a month with our first pregnancy and we were pregnant. I'm know 17 weeks and we tried for a year with the pregnancy. I had finally come to terms that maybe God only wanted me to have one child. We stopped stressing about and trying and just thought it would happen if GOD wanted it to and that very month I ended up pregnant. I would go a head and ask you OB for prenatal vitamins I know the year I was trying I took one every day just to go ahead and have the vitamins in my system. Become familiar with your body and when you ovulate. I know that I was messing three cycles through that year and he was talking about putting me on something to help me get pregnant. Good Luck!!

Answer 5

Yes ive heard its true,also heard it increases the chances of twins.Ive been taking folic acid for the last 2 months..Good luck to you too btw.

Answer 6

I'm no expert, but sometimes stress can result in failed pregnancy attempts... ex. my sister in law and her husband tried to conceive for 7 years, and when they had finally gien up and started to discuss adoption, and not do all the temp taking and schedule intercourse, they ended up pregnant, the only thing she can attribute it to is the lack of stress and feeling of failure every month... Try not to stress and don't worry you are still really young and have time to wait a little before seeking drastic measures.....

Answer 8

i think that you are too excited and when your body is not relaxed you would not get pregnant so you need to just rel ex and you would see it will work do not plan just have normal sex and that should work.
