hi im sorry to hear ur having problems getting pregnant. i also know people who have struggled with this problem. if u have both had tests and they are fine, try to take ur mind off getting pregnant,
i know myself how hard it is every month when ur period comes its heartbreaking, but i also know if u try and try it takes the fun out of making love and becomes all about the baby and not about the love. it will happen in time and when it does the heartache u feel now will seem a millon miles away.
the only practical thing i can think of thou is try timing when u have sex, the best time to conceive i think is a just over a week after having ur period well 14days is when eggs are released. it helps taking folic acid before trying to boost your chances. good luck

It took us over 2 years and we were the same, had all the tests, a few minor problems but nothing that would totally rule out conception.
We were told we'd probably need ICSI but then it happened naturally.
Just before I conceived, I was very depressed about not being able to get pregnant so I took two weeks off work to have a rest. I also started taking a multivitamin supplement because I was really run down and (I know this sounds weird but) I had spiritual healing to cope with the fact that I was really down about not being able to get pregnant.
3 weeks later I was pregnant.
I don't know what made the difference, but I think the healing helped, even if it just helped me to relax a little. I firmly believe in alternative therapies now.
A lot of people report success with Acupuncture when ttc.

this happened to my friend and her husband they had been trying for a few years to get pregnant and absolutly nothing..they had tests and they were clear and they just thought they couldnt have kids for some reason. then they moved from where we lived to another part of the country and they got pregnant straight away..they had 3 kids within 19 months..i thought that was pretty wierd, maybe the change of scenery had something to do with it?! anyway what im trying to say is dont give up...they were in the same boat and they now have 3 gorgous kids so the same can happen to you.
good luck xx

It took me 3 years to get pregnant, I'd all but given up and then it happened. I was so shocked I didn't believe it I took 7 home test just to be sure. I have heard of it taking some couples with no problems many years to conceive. Just keep trying and relax. If you are not comfortable waiting much longer for a child you could always look into adoption. Good Luck

I'm sorry, but this is something best handled by a professional who treats infertility cases and not by someone sitting in front of a computer. I do empathize with you, however. As a professional counselor, I've seen many couples with similar problems, and it is stressful on the relationship. Each case was different, so one answer is never the right one; a doctor can be your support system. It took my son/wife almost 5 years for first child; they have 3 children now. No. 2 and 3 came 9 months apart! Good luck.

Do you know that the normal woman is only able to conceive 12 hours out of ever month cycle? It's a wonder that anyone gets pregnant. So stop stressing and look on the Internet or with your local church on Natural Family Planning courses. They will show you how to map your cycle and show you when the best time to conceive is. Otherwise go to the market and get an ovulation meter. Good luck.

Talk with your doctor about IVF...yes most insurances do not cover this, however it is almost a sure thing...higher risks of multiple births...but it is a better bet then just shooting it in the dark all the time.
I feel your pain as well I have been ttc for 3 yrs ...but I have had two losses. We are now taking Clomid and going to do articial insemination...hope it works!

Have you tried the Fertility Awareness-Based Method (FAM)? Basically you chart your temperature and check your cervical mucous to determine when you're most fertile. You should be having sex every other day right before and after you ovulate.
Read Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler or check out the source for more information.
Also, have you tried any ovulation monitors?

make sure you know your fertile time by getting a book/website about your fertility. i worked with a girl who had trouble concieving. we worked every other weekend, and it turned out her fertile time was on her weekend to work!( stressful 12 hour shifts in an ICU= when she switched weekends, she got pg soon after. I'm not saying it will be as simple as that for you, but keep a close eye on your fertile time will increase your chances. good lick- i really hope it works out for you as i know( thankfully in the past) the heartache of ttc
also try taking benelyn during you fertile time!-helps keep secretions thin and heps those swimmers!
