why cant i get pregnant?

My fiance and I have been trying for 1 year and a half and nothing. There's so man times I thought I was and so did he but nope. I hate taking tests they're always negative. My period confuses me sometimes its right on time and other times not. So its slightly irregular. I anticipate it coming tomorrow Sunday or Monday but I've felt extremely off and odd this go round. Cranky and mood swings tired boobs feel odd and worse cramping than usual in odd places. I was on the depo shot when we first got together but got off of it fast and been off the whole time ttc. My last period (Dec 20) was 3 days early and short. Any feedback would be wonderful I need help advice and opinions

I'm pregnant 20 weeks actually. And to be honest it took me and my fiance 2 years basically. And I thought I couldn't have kids. And I always had assumptions that I was pregnant but every time I took a test it came back negative. And I would be bumbed out. And one day this girl in my CNA class told me she was on this diet and when she was ovulating she had intercourse with her husband and he ummmmed in her and she stood on her hands upside down. And she got pregnant. So I tried it and I'm pregnant. But its just an idea I'm not certain it works. But I am prego with my first baby.

Try going to fertilaid.com. We had been trying for two years and I started researching natural things that could help before I went for other drastic measures. I got a three month supply for my husband and I and after two months we were pregnant! Good luck! See your Dr for sure to get basic testing done and get your partners sperm checked etc.

To know exactly when you're ovulating you can also the ovulation dipstick tests, you can find these in the same places at the same prices like the pregnancy tests. These were actually my greatest helpers to get pregnant. We've been trying for 3 years. Of course, go see a dr just to rule anything serious that you or he might have. And don't lose hope, you'll get there.

Lady timer app I liked. I was also on the depo shot, was on it for over 2 yrs. Came off and within 4/5 months was pregnant. I read min 18 months on average to get out of your system. My Dr was a bit shocked, either I am fertile which when I tried 6 yrs ago for not very long nothing but I was taking fenugreek and maybe that's what helped??? It's for breastfeeding mom's but I was taking it for another reason. Also folic acid I have been on.

Sometimes if you try hard your body just wont and you can trick your body into thinking you are when you arnt. Just try to relax and have sex twice a week for the next lil while but try not to stress at the same time

I feel you Girl!!
It took me and hubby 5 years to finally get preggy... :)
You know why it took long? Cause I was too scared to go to the Doctors! Lol.

Let me tell you what happened...

June of last year, I went back home..
Had support from family who pushed me to go to the doctor.. I was too afraid for them to tell me I wasnt ever going to be able to conceive?
I went and found out within 3hrs what was wrong.. Problem was, I wasn't ovulating? How the hell was I going to get pregnant with not being able to ovulate? They found out thru an internal ultrasound... to top it off my period cycles has ALWAYS BEEN IRREGULAR! ALWAYS... She put me on 2 type of pills.. one that was going to regulate my cycle and the other that was going to help me with ovulation. Doctor said, continue with pills and have sex like a bunny... Remember, I started in June the treatment!
I was alao told in may work within a few months to a year. As everyone is different right? Little did we know, that we were pregnant in September!!!
Today, I am 20 weeks and due june 2...
Ask your doctor if you are ovulating?
Your period needs to be on track..
Dont give up! It took me 5 YEARS!!

I would go ahead and see your obgyn doctor.  Let them know you've been actively trying for over a year. They will tell you what steps you need to take next to increase your chances. Good luck girlie!

Yeah I'm only 19 this is difficult and really annoying. And no I don't have an app but I use a Calender. I haven't found the ovulation apps to help

Since you were on the depo shot it could take you a while. Im not trying to be negative but some of the side effects of the depo shot were that pregnancy afterward could be hard. I was on it and it took my bf and i a year and a half to get pregnant and im only 18. Good luck to you guys and if it doesn't happen soon maybe see a doctor?
