My husband and i are trying for a baby but we haven't had any luck what should we do?

Question

We have been trying for 4 months and we still haven't gotten pregnant. What can we do to help us get pregnant?

Answer 1

u could get an ovulation kit to see when u are ovulating and the word is to have sex every other day in the pd of time or also you could visit your doctor and check to see if there may be a problem. Good Luck!

Answer 2

Just keep trying! 4 months isn't that long to try for a baby... most couple get pregnant within 6 months to a year of trying to conceive.

Just remember that you are ovulating 12-14 days after the start of your last period, so try to have sex on those days! I just had sex for that entire week (about 2 days before I should be ovulating, until about 2 days after).

If you are really frustrated then talk to your doctor, he/she might be able to prescribe you some fertility drugs or let you know of a better way to get pregnant. But... with only trying for 4 months, you aren't that bad off, I would try for a few more months and then seek medical help if you still need it!

Good luck conceiving!

Answer 3

I was in the same boat as you, my husband and I tried for over 4 months to get pregnant and I finally did. What was weird was I got pregnant with our daughter when I was on birth control, and then with this one we were trying and I couldnt. But it finally happened, I know you have heard that if you quit thinking about it that it will happen, well its true stop stressing and relax and enjoy trying!! Good luck

Answer 4

4 months is nothing...try charting your ovulation..use a free site lie www.mymonthlycycles.com or www.baby2be.com. All you need to know is when teh first day of your last menstrual period and how long your cycle is and it will tell you when you ovulate and the best times to have sex. So it every other day around this time. Dr's won't usually do anything till you've been trying for a year...but ask to go for a blood test to make sure that you are ovulating. Just because you get a period every month does not mean that you ovulated(I found that out)

Answer 5

First you need to go to the doctor and make sure that both of you are okay. Then you need to relax. Most couples who try to have babies can't get pregnant due to the stress. It takes time to get pregnant and four months is just practice time. I would take this time and enjoy getting to know my husband more. This will also help you both get on the same page when it comes to the parenting decisions. Thank you and good luck.

Answer 6

I can honestly say I feel your pain!! Me and my hubby had been trying for almost 4 years !! We got pregnant in November , but didn't find out until January 2007 when I found that the baby was in my tube, so I had to have emergency surgery to remove it and my right tube. I just stopped thinking about a baby, temps, ovulation , all of it!! LOL It worked for me. Just don't stress about it and it will happen. Good luck and lots of baby dust.

Answer 7

It is okay, you will do this! Sometimes it takes up to a year, especially if you were on the pill! If in a few more months, still no pregnancy, ask your dr. for clomid! This worked on my friend in one month! Best of luck! Do not stress! Also, check your discharge, right before ov, it is thin and clear! A basal thermometer helps too! This tells when ov is near! The instructions come with it!

Answer 8

u could try a cervical cap....insted of putting spernacide in it u put semen...then it holds the good stuff right there on your cervix and protects it from the "hostile" vaginal canal....makes sence.. i was looking into them as birth control and found them selling them as the oppsite... www.oves.com has a "infirtality kit" i think its a rip off tho......just get the caps it'll save money....and then but a big o tube of ovulation and pregnancy test that clinics use off of e-bay....very economical expecally if you go thru a lot GOOD LUCK

Answer 9

My advices are naturally relax for sexual intercourse, start a proper diet, get your timing right (usually 1 or 2 days after period) and don't think of making baby. Check this out!

Four months is not that long. It took us 11 months.

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.
