Ok my husband and i have been trying to get pregnant for over three years now. We have one son but he passed shortly after he was born. I was 23 wks along and i had an appendicitis attack and had to go in for emergency surgery. We both came out of it but the pain meds i was receiving were to much for him and i gave birth 4 days later. He was just to small. Now we have tried every different position and that hasnt worked. I do not have regular periods so i cant do the whole calendar thing. I was wondering if anyone knows anything i can do to help me get pregnant. I have 2 months until my husband comes home for R&R from iraq and i really want to get pregnant at that time. If i go to the doctor, does he have to be there to in order for me to get pills to help me get pregnant? How does that work? Do i just go in and ask? I have no idea but he cant be there because he is deployed. We want a baby so badly but nothing is working. Help...PLEASE:( I am not overweight either.

Hey, I feel your pain.. Me & my Hubby are going to try again to have a baby when he comes back from Iraq. I've tried & tried with base hospital and there no help at all so I started searching for another solution. CLOMID. This is used for women to induce ovulation and men can take it to for added sperm count!!

Might sound weird, but maybe you're trying too hard. I mean, you sound really worried over it. Worry can create stress. Stress can alter your period cycles. Relax. Try to do a few things that relax you. When he gets home, don't immediately start into him about trying to get pregnant or even having sex. Let him relax a bit as well. Cook him a nice dinner or go out to eat. This will give you a bit of alone time first. Ask your families to please give you a couple of days with him first and organize a get together for a weekend versus the first couple of days he's back.
Have some items on hand so that you two can share a hot bath together. This may mean that you get a hotel room some place that has a garden or jacuzzi tub for his first night or two back. It'll help you both relax and maybe you can see it as a type of reunion honeymoon. Let the night kinda flow from there. He'll appreciate the meal and the bath, somethings that he might not have gotten a lot of ( or at least not quiet ones) while he was deployed. If you're both relaxed, you might just get lucky instead of trying to force the issue.

Being overweight has nothing to do with it...Both me and my husband are 33 years old, we have a 15 year old son, but we have lost 3 babies...I got pregnant last year after 3 years of trying....the way I did it was I took a Centrum multi vitamin (orange chewable ones) every night for 2 months, and due to the fact it has alot of folic acid it in, I was able to get pregnant, however I lost that baby due to an ectopic pregnancy. But I have started taking the vitamins again because my husband will be home next month. Good luck!!

First, I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what that must have been like for the two of you.
Ask your ob/gyn if there is anything you could take to induce you to ovulate while your husband is home. I believe there is such a thing. And when your husband comes home, just enjoy his company. Other than taking whatever meds you get, try not to think about getting pregnant. You'll probably get all the nookie you could hope for since he's been gone so long. Good luck!

Ok you need to figure out when you're ovulating. Check out the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility". It will help you recognize your body's signs for ovulation - temps, cervical mucus, cervix position. Start charting NOW and looking for patterns and make sure you are ovulating. It has some great tips on how to get pregnant, including the every other day sex if he has low sperm count, etc.
WebMD has a great Trying To Conceive support board where you can get some other good ideas. But the book is a good start and a very valuable learning resource. My sister is a doctor and recommends it to all her female patients to read.

Good Luck and many happy reunions with your husband!

Make an immediate appointment with your OBGYN. I am not sure what route they will take, but it is best to get things going now. That way, if they do need to see your husband, you can do so while he is home and then have things ready to go when he is finally back from deployment. Fertility treatments can be tricky and take time to figure out, so the sooner you see your doc the better. Good luck and no matter what can or can't be done before he comes home, just enjoy your time together.

Ok, with your stressing over having a baby, think about how he is going to feel if you dont get preggo. He is deployed, and then having the whole "Im not good enough to get her preggo" thing thrown on top of that? Im sorry hun, but you need to relax. The stress over getting preggo can be whats keeping you from it. When he gets home and you two are in bed, think about how much your going to enjoy having him home, instead of working on getting preggo.

no dont go to the doctor and take fertility drugs that'll really put you in a mess if you end up with 7 babies at once and many might die.
just continue to mate with your husband and see from there. do it the natural way

If it meant to happen, it will happen. the more you stress over it, the more you body will react negatively and become an inhospitable place.
