it does sounds like you are doing it at the wrong time you need to start tracking it so you will know when you are ovulating. you can track your cycles for free at www.mymonthlycycles.com i did and i got pregnant with my second kid on the first try. it took us 3 years for our daughter and a doctor told me i couldn't get pregnant. i didn't track my cycle with her. but for my son i did track it for 6 months before we tried. i did it b/c we really wanted a boy and my doctor told us to track my cycle and if we do it with in 3 days before i ovulate then i have a higher chance on having a girl and if i do it the day before or of i have a higher chance on having a boy so we did it the day of and we have a boy! good luck

Maybe you are just missing ovulation.  I read when I started TTC that it takes a couple an average of 9 months to 1 year to conceive.  As long as you don't have PCOS try to use an ovulation predictor kit.  It will help you at least know what is going on with your body when you are ovulating.  For most people ovulation happens about 14 days after your first day of your last period (or CD 14) but for some people (like myself) who have longer cycles you can ovulate after (I only ovulate around CD 16 or 17).  So when we started trying I thought I ovulate around CD 14 and so we would BD around then and totally missed my ovulation.  I got an ovulation predictor kit and when it turned positive I knew I was ovulating soon so we could BD at least once a day for three days after that.  I got pregnant that month so I think it helped me a lot.  Even if I would not have gotten pregnant that month I now know what to look for when I ovulate like my cervical mucus and twinges that I get.  I also spotted like 3 days before ovulation which I never knew that was a sign of ovulation.  The only other thing that may be helpful is if you have sex every other day from the time your period stops.  Try to relax and enjoy but I know that is much easier said then done.  Good luck and I hope you get your BFP soon.
