I can not seen to get pregnant.
Hi, my fiancee and I have been trying for a baby for about eight months now no luck. We have tried sex every other day and he already has a child so we know it isn't him with the problem. I have never really used contraceptives and have been really lucky with not getting pregnant. But now it's time that I want it to happen. I don't know what I should do and I fear that I'm infertile.
I get a regular period. I was on the depo-provera shot for about 2 years and then went straight to the pill, Which I was on for about six months. I have been off of all birth control for over three years. My period has almost completely gone back to normal.
I'm really concered that maybe I have some sort of infertility problems. Nothing major runs in the family, a cousin and great aunt had a hormone deficiency, so they had to just take meds our get a shot in order to conceive their children.
Please help me. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
All I want is to be a mom.

Thank you for the advice. Anything I can do or take to increase my risks of getting pregnant? I already take folic acid, and hold my legs up after he fully ejaculate inside of me.
I am sorry to hear that you are experiences this problem however it could be something very minor to well something more serious. I urge you to see a fertility doctor to know for sure. However in the mean time there are a few thing that you could do yourself.
I understand that as I type this the words are going to sound easier than the act of it. Relax. I know that this is easier said than done but worrying about getting pregnant raises your stress level and can potentially lower your hormones, not to mention all the other complications stress can have on the body.
Make sure that when your finance' ejaculates it is completely inside your vagina and not outside. Also make sure that you or him are not using any type of contraceptive. Some lubrications have spermicide in them which can be lowering/killing his sperm and limiting the active one on reaching your egg.
Aside from this seeing a fertility doctor to have some blood and other tests would need to be done. They will run tesst to find out what your FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) levels are. They will also check the structure of your reproductive system to make sure that there are not any narrowing of the fallopian tubes or any endometriosis, cysts, or tumors (yes this can sound scary but it is better to know than not). They will also check on how your eggs mature and how many you have. Seeing a fertility doctor can be scary but they are kind people who understand how delicate the situation is.
Lastly, you stated that you finance' has another child already. It is always possible that the child he has was conceived using fertility drugs. Possibly he has a low sperm count himself. Has he sustained any injury since his previous child and trying with you? The possibility that the child is not biologically his is always something to consider (not saying that the child is not just stating a possibility). Also a mans sperm count as well as a woman's mature eggs count reduces as age increases.
All in all if this is something that is seriously concerning you see a doctor and get some answers. Remember this though if the situation would happen to turn up that you are unable to bare children through the traditional method there are always other ways to be a "mom". Fertility drugs, artificial insemination, surrogate, and adoption. Being a "mom" is not always about giving birth it is about loving and raising a child.
Please whichever choice you decide on continue to keep an open communication line with your finance' and make sure that you are both at a place in your life to bring a child into this world or love one that is already here. Having children can be very rewarding and also extremely expensive, stressful, and exhausting. I am mother of 3, a nursing student, I also carry a degree in psychology, and have a finance', so just make sure that you are ready for all the changes, obstacles, and choices that you may come across. Most of all relax and enjoy your life with your finance'.
Best wishes for you,
Candy
