Why am I not getting pregnant????

[kristen162]

I had a miscarriage back in January. I've been trying to get pregnant again since then with no such luck. What could be keeping me from succeeding?

i understand the whole idea of ovulation tests but i have pretty regular periods they are pretty long though sometimes they can last about 7 days others 4 or 5 so i know about the time im ovulating and we make sure we have sex on those days but no luck I keep having alot of breast pain too llike really bad burnig and that didnt start til i found out i was pregnant and it hasnt stopped since its an almost constant thing so i dont know if that could have anything to do with it or not

Just giving my input...you have been pregnant before, so I don't think there's any reason to say you can't get pregnant again. It can take a healthy couple up to a year to get pregnant. Stop stressing, enjoy sex, and don't think about pregnancy. It will happen in time. Good luck to you and I hope you get your baby soon!

I have been the same way...DH and I have been trying for 3 and 1/2 years.  I had two miscarriages on 7/7/08 and another on 3/5/09...each time it took me almost 6-10 months to get pregnant.  I had another miscarriage 9/2006.  The doctors said I was fine.  I finally had bloodwork done and it said that I had a B6 B12 and Folic Acid deficiency and also my blood was extremely thick.  So, they put me on the vitamins and a baby aspirin and now everything is fine...just found out monday that I am expecting...as much as I am scared...I can't stress over it.

Stress is a big cause of a lot miscarriages and not getting pregnant.  I finally just said the heck with it...if it happens it will happen....and we had sex everyday too and we cut back to every other day....try that...see if it helps at least.  It did for us....

Good Luck!

i had a miscarriage in oct 09 which through my periods all out of sync.
I went from having one every 6 weeks to, to having only 3 so far this yr.
1 being 9 weeks the next 13 weeks and the 3rd 8 weeks.
As im TTC also i found it very frustrating as i just didnt know when to try and having sex every other day just became too sore and we seemed to miss the egg anyway.
My last period was june 29th so i decided to buy ovulation sticks. A pack of 50 for £10, they are the one step ovulation tests. After 30 days of testing they were still neg, until 3rd Aug in the evening with my 2nd test of the day i had a very strong positive. Luckily we had sex the day before, so then we had sex the day the test went positive and the 3 days after.Had i not bought the sticks, i would have had no idea i was ovulating and i potentially would have missed it again.

So my advice to you is, your not doing anything wrong, your body is just a little out of sorts since you lost your baby, and i would strongly recommend purchasing ovulation tests and checking twice a day 12hrs between each test. I have found it to be a massive help and in 11 days i can take a HPT to see if i am pregnant.

Stress and diet can also affect your ovulation, so i have been taking 1 a day multivitamins and seven sea's hormone balance vitamins to help and and have tried to stay as less stressed as possible.
Maybe this is something you can try also.

Definately give the ovulation tests a go and best of luck to you.

There may be many different reasons you are not getting pregnant. I was told everything was fine and that because i was young not to worry (24 at the time). BUT I was ready. Flash forward 34 months and five different ob's later I finally was diagnosed with PCOS and am 12 weeks pregnant with my first child. You may find useful a website for Pre-Seed which has ovulation test kits, fertility vitamins and sperm friendly lube. You should be having sex no more than every 48 hours as to not decrease sperm count.

If you are not getting answers from your current dr and you have gone one year with no luck, experience repeat miscarriage or have irregular cycles (extremely long, irregular in timing, very painful or heavy) I would suggest seeing a specialist. They have endocrinologists, reproductive specialist and regular OB's that specialize in infertility. I wish you the best of luck!

Yea we will try that next and what are Gerotol vitamins, and where can i get them?

[Sweet_Monti]

Take some Gerotol vitimans. Trust me if either have fertility problems you will get pregnant.

[Happy2Bpg]

I would say just heal and let time be on your side. Big key is to relax!  Also, cut back on the sex. That is actually lowering his sperm count. Give it time to build up in between, and time sex a day or 2 before you expect to ovulate. Good luck

if you were able to get pregnant before,i'm sure you'll be able to again.give your body time to heal and don't stress.

[confusedmanda]

well you're only 18 you have Alot of time. maybe one of you have fertile issues.

[kristen162]

Thanks and they are and and me and my fiance have sex almosst everyday bc we are trying to get pregnant,but like i said nothing is working. I went to the obgyn and she said that everything looked fine. So I don't know what the problem is.

Could be a number of different things.  Are your cycles regular?  If not, it could be that you are not ovulating or that you are not sexually active at the time of ovulation.  If you have been sick or under a lot of stress, that can hinder getting pregnant as well.  There could be other causes as well.  Check with your doctor so s/he can do an exam and some lab work to get a better idea why you aren't getting pregnant.

[Lost_in_Love]

A lot of things. You should see a doctor so that they can determine the cause. Are you keeping track of your cycle and ovulation?
