ttc
Hi, I'm a mother of 4 youngest is 7. I've been ttc since 2009. I was 3 months pregnant in January of 2008 due to heavy bleeding for 2 days I ended up having a d&c they said my babys heart hadn't developed. So for 5 years I have been trying to get pregnant yet no luck. Please help me I'm unsure as to what to do.

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would first assess whether you are having regular periods/cycles. To do this, ovulation predictors can be useful. I would also advise a sperm count for your partner (even if he is the father of the other kids, things can change). Spermcheck is available on line if he doesn't want to go to the doctor. Finally, if both of those parameters are in order, I would suggest a saline ultrasound or hsg to check the uterus and fallopian tubes to be sure there are not problems there. If you DO have irregular periods, you may need some blood work done to evaluate why.
Good luck!
