I recently got married in May a few days after my 18th birthday. My husband is 23 and were both trying to start a family. We've been trying since we got married and its frustrating that I haven't gotten pregnant yet. I never took birth control so thats not what it is. If anyone has any tips please let me know. Only serious responses please and yes I'm young but this is what I want so please don't try to change my mind. I'm just asking for help getting pregnant with my husbands child. Thanks in advance

I understand it's frustrating, sometimes mother nature is a b*tch. Usually a woman is fertile 14 days after her last period and that's when she ovualates. However, it also depends on the length of your cycle. The above statement was based on a 28 day cycle. To avoid guess work, I would buy on ovulation predictor test and have sex on the days it says you are most fertile. Good luck and try to relax, it's only been a couple of months since you started trying.

It's only been 2 months; there's no need to get frantic yet.
Each month, you have about a 20% chance of pregnancy.
Your most likely fertile time is actually the week BEFORE you ovulate. If you are unfamiliar with when you are ovulating, you might try ovulation predictor kits, which predict 36 hours in advance when you are going to ovulate. They are like pregnancy kits, but test the LH surge--which is the hormone that causes ovulation.
Right now, I'd just relax. If, after a couple more months you haven't conceived, try the ovulation kits. But seriously, the more you stress, the more pressure is on your body, and that's just not good for conception.
Good luck, and many blessings on your marriage and future family.

Hi there! I am 22 and just finally pregnant with my first (my husband and I have been trying for 6 months, married for 3 years). Some pointers we got from our doctors were...
for him-make sure he wears lose fitting underwear like boxers, this helps keep him cooler down there. Make sure if he has a sitting job, that he gets up and gets his circulation moving ever 2 hours or so for about 10 minutes (my husband has a computer job so he sits a lot while at work, and has an hour commute both ways to and from work), tell him to avoid hot baths, showers, hot tubs or saunas, something that isn't proven but is said to help is before having sex have him drink a cup of coffee or something high in caffiene (said to help if he has slower swimmers). When having sex, do it with him on top and put a pillow under your butt. This helps the sperm travel more quickly to where it needs to be, also after sex, stay on your back for around 20 minutes slow swimmers take longer to reach their destination!
For you don't drink caffiene, eat a lot of dark green vegitables, and don't stress, if you are worried about it or stressed at all, a lot of times your body senses that and you will not be able to get pregnant. It is supposed to be a fun time in your life, enjoy sex and have fun! That is the most important thing!
Now after my getting pregnant advice (which, by the way, worked for us) I will say just one thing, give yourselves a little time, once you ahve kids it will never be just you and your husband again until you are in your 40's and all your kids have moved out. That is a lot of years to not have much alone time. Make sure your communication is strong together, even just being pregnant has changed so much with my husband and I and we have know eachother and been together since we were like 14 (not living together, just bf/gf), we didn't move in together until we got married.
Have fun and GOOD LUCK to you guys!!!

This book is a must read for any woman trying to get pregnant. I was devastated and so was my husband after being told by my fertility specialist at age 38 that I had no option but to consider adoption or donor eggs (according to my doctor I was out of eggs and gave me 4% chance of getting pregnant and a 2% chance of carrying a baby to full term). After much research and dozens of hours reading infertility related articles and posts online, I have found this book! I never believed in anything alternative to western medicine and thought all the other stuff like Chinese medicine was a hoax. But I was soon glad to be wrong as I followed step by step guidelines. After one month of trying I became pregnant and had a beautiful healthy boy. Nine months after that I did everything in the book again and after 2 months of trying I got pregnant again and gave birth to another perfect little boy. I would recommend anyone with an open mind to read this book. It just might be the answer to your prayers.

You've only been trying for 2 months. That's not really a lot of time. I'm sure that is frustrating when compared to some gals who get pregnant the first time they have sex. However, don't throw in the towel. If, after a year, things haven't happened, see an ob/gyn and get checked out. Sorry, don't have any tips since really, most tips help older women, not younger!

It took 6 months for me to get pregnant with my 2nd child. I had a friend try for 2 years! She finally got pregnant had has a baby girl. Don't try too hard - it will just frustrate you and leave you heart broken.
When the time is right, you will get pregnant. You can try ovulation meters (they sell those in the stores now) to help you get a grip on when the best time of the month is for you to get pregnant. Takes the romance out of it, but they help.
If a substantial time has passed and you still aren't pregnant, I would suggest going to the doctor to get his sperm count checked and your female stuff checked as well.
Like I said, it's only been a couple months. Patience, girl! It doesn't always happen over night :-) When your body is ready, it will happen. GOOD LUCK!

only 23-30% of women get prego in less then 3 months. 50% at 6 months. 80-90% ish in 1 year. It takes time and a lot of patience. Starting a family is the biggest step you will ever take, so just be ready for it! REALLY READY:)
gosh at 18 I couldnt even imagine wanting to start a family, I was barely an adult yet.
best wishes

well, i'm sure you already know this...but, usually the week right before your period is when you have the highest chance of it...
so, yeah...try that if you havent already...and if its not working go to the doctor see if you have any problems.
