Everybody is different. Try taking ovulation test. You might not be ovulating when you think you are. I know I ovulate 3-4 days earlier then what the APS and calendars say I should, based in the test.... Have sex every second day before ovulation  and on ovulation day. This will increase your odds... And relax, it will happen when the timing is right.

My husband am I tried for almost 2 years. We went to a fertility clinic and were like 5 months away from iui. We cant afford ivf, so figured we'd start with iui. We'd decided if we werent pregnant by November, we'd do the treatment. Well, I ended up pregnant July 13th. Lol.   We usually only had sex once each cycle, since I have recurring vaginal fissures which, although they were healed, it still made sex difficult. I pretty much tore everytime we had sex for about a year.  The pain of treating made it difficult to have sex at all. We bought and used a lubricant called pre-seed, which is fertility safe. Some of the other lubes actually kill sperm. Good luck, you are definitely not alone. I used to cry every month when I'd start my period. I cried so much when I'd see others pregnant, some talking about it like "Yeah, if my bf looks at me I end up pregnant". It seemed so unfair for these  girls to have 5, 6, 7 children, and I couldn't even get pregnant with one. There was a couple who came in to work, neither of them drive, they couldn't afford a car. They had a food stamp card, and were talking about trying for baby number 8. They said "we know we can't afford it, but who cares, the government will give us more money for the more kids we have". They had 2 of their kids with them, both in rags, neither looked like they'd been cleaned in a month, and this couple wanted #8?! I broke down crying in the bathroom after that, I questioned God, I questioned myself.  I beat myself up, figuring it was all my fault I couldn't get pregnant. I won't say like the other ladies that I stopped stressing and it happened, I still stressed every month. But I just finally figured it would happen eventually, and it did, I'm 15 weeks with s little boy, due April 19th.  Good luck, I hope you're journey ends soon with you pregnant!

With my first pregnancy which ended in misscariage we were trying the most actively in the world to conceive for about 8or9 months. I was diagnosed with blighted ovum in 7w of pregnancy so I was asked to go to the hospital. Three months after that disturbing experience we had sex only one time and not until I was late for more than a week I found out I was pregnant. Pure luck! That's becouse I wasnt trying too hard for the first time. Obviously,the nerves play an important role in all this. Now,I am 25w pregnant with a baby boy. No symptoms of any kind....a perfect pregnancy! Thank God! I hope my story helped. :-) Wish you luck,I'm sure it will be soon!

Something a friend told me about is 1 to 2 weeks after your period is when you are most fertile but you have to look for this sign. When you go to the bathroom in that time frame look for a
Whiteish mucous when you wipe and this would be when your most fertile. When you see this have sex within 3 days. I tried ovulation kits and such and nothing worked, except this did. Plus this seem to also happen once we stopped trying and tried to make it more fun. My husband and I had tried for a year and two months before we finally got pregnant. This is after we relaxed and I tried this technique. Now I am 38 weeks pregnant. Hope this helps, good luck. :)

thanks...i actually went to an OB to have the TVS just to see if my ovaries are ok.. that time the OB told me that there are eggs and its a perfect time to have sex. she also told me that my ovaries were normal. but better if my boyfriend will have the sperm count test. he's doesnt want to have the test . i think he's fraid or what, he's always telling me that if god will grant us a baby even we dont do those test we will have. im still pushing him to take the test.. =) a little more push.. haha.. but seriously appreciate all your informations =) godbless..

Start taking prenatal vitamins...these help with your hormones.. go out..drink, have a good time, get relaxed...have sex and pass out! The problem sometimes is your too stressed about it.

Buy an ovulation kit at the pharmacy so you can work out your most fertile time every month that's how I got my last baby! Or there are plenty of apps now that will do the same thing just need to know how long your cycle is and when your last period was

My husband and I tried for 3 years to get pregnant
We even went to the doctors to get tested and tried some medication and nothing helped
But once we stopped trying and started having fun we got pregnant within 3 months! I know it's hard and frustrating to keep getting negative teat but trust in God and you will see you will get pregnant before you know it!

I used to drink a few times a week and kinda party a bit and I had been wanting a baby and to get pregnant. Me and my boyfriend tried for months and no luck...we both quit drinking and BAM I got pregnant like two weeks later...crazy but alcohol was like birth control for me.

My husband and I tried for a year with our second baby andI was  so frustrated because we didn't struggle to conceive our first and every month that period came I felt like God was playing a cruel joke we both for tested and we where fine but since we both work long hours and our son is super hyper we weren't having sex as often and I was ovulating at 18 days after my period instead of 15 like most so first off find out when you ovulate on amazon they have kids with a bunch of the test for 20 bucks and second make sure your boyfriend ejaculates at least 3 days before you have sex so he has fresh swimmers and then try to have sex the three days before ovulation and keep your legs up at least 15 minutes after once I figured those things out I was pregnant the following month. I hope that helps I know how frustrating it can be when your told to not worry about it and that's all you can think of best luck let us know if it works!

my fiancé and I tried for a year and then we stopped and focused on us...we started working out regularly and eating really healthy and then one month I missed my period and 18 weeks ago we conceived our little miracle...I'm 26 and he's 34 so there could be many reasons why it can take so long...it'll happen don't worry

Use the my days app. I used it and when it said I was going to ovulate.. We would have sex two days before and put my feet up. We only had sex once in February and once in march and I conceived exactly when I should have. Good luck!

I definitely understand the feeling of thinking and hoping your pregnant and then your period comes and it's such a disappointing feeling.. I read a little bit to see if I could figure out why I wasn't getting pregnant and what I read made me feel so much better and relax about it. First, you only pass one egg a month and if you're stressed out, you may not even pass an egg! Also, sperm can stay in you to fertilize an egg up to at least 3 days if I remember correctly. I mean once I really thought about that like woah only one egg is passed in a month?? I mean if we skip it that's a whole month we just can't get pregnant.. After I stopped worrying about it I got pregnant about a month or 2 later now we're on number 2! I know a lot of times girls always think it's them, you can go get yourself checked out to make sure, but guys should also be checked because it could be them too! Good luck! :)
