My husband and I have been having unprotected sex for almost a year now and I still haven't gotten pregnant...

Question

I got married almost a year now, and I've probably taken birth control pills 3 times since then but we have unprotected sex a lot, I am starting to get worried that maybe I can't have kids? Or does it take some people a lot longer? Advice would be helpful! Thanks

Answer 1

You need to start charting when you have sex. For example, you might feel some discomfort when you're ovulating so you don't feel like sex right then. If you're older than 35, I'd go to see a doctor now, otherwise, you can wait until you have two or three month's of charts. And yes, it takes some people longer than others.

Answer 2

Don't sweat it just yet. It took me and my husband two and a half years to conceive our first baby. It could simply be that you aren't having sex during your fertile time. You can get an ovulation predictor from the drug store if you want to find out when you are ovulating. Stress can play a factor, too. If one, or both, of you have stressful schedules, then you need to make some quiet time for yourselves to unwind and relax. Keep yourself hydrated, also. Dehydration works against everything and causes a stress of it's own on your organs. I hope this helps. Good luck!!

"How long does it take to get pregnant"
That is not easy to answer, but improving your and your partner's lifestyle will definitely help increase your chances to get pregnant.

Remember, fertile couples have a 25 percent chance of getting pregnant each cycle, even when they have sex right around the time of ovulation. However, it can take up to a year for some perfectly fertile couples. After a year of trying, 75 to 85 percent of couples will have conceived.

There is plenty you can do to increase your chances of getting pregnant.
Understanding your body and the way it works, especially with regard to your reproductive system, is essential in learning how to optimise your possibilities of conception. Also, maintaining your health and fitness is very beneficial, as are avoiding things that will decrease your chances.

Look at your daily habits and take time to make the necessary changes for you and your future baby.

If you don't get pregnant after a year of trying, see a fertility specialist so that you may consider infertility treatments such as infertility drugs or assisted reproductive technology (ART).
