Trying to conceive

I am trying to get pregnant for the past 6 months but it is not working. Myself & my hubby are in good health condition. I am bit worried now. Can anyone give any suggestions ?

It can take a normal healthy couple upwards of 1-2 years to naturally conceive. Most people assume when they start that it will happen the first time, and this is a wrong assumption. You set yourself up for more failure and heartache than if you just give it time.

You need to learn when you're ovulating and your fertile days, and have sex every other day leading up to ovulation. The best thing you can do is not obsess over it, and not make it into a job. It is also wise to not over analyze every symptom you feel, as symptoms don't indicate pregnancy. Many women say lying in a bed with your legs elevated help, but in reality this does nothing. There is also no get quick pregnancy pill. It's also about timing and luck. Remember, a couple has a 25% chance of conception a month.

I thought of taking the test by next week. The bleeding was there only till yesterday morning. I thought it was bit more but stopped. Not too much of bleeding. Today morning I saw a drop of blood that's all. Lets see whats gonna happen. I also want to know how long will implantation bleeding last.

I would take a test to see if this is pregnancy.  If you are positive and are bleeding then you need to go to a doctor to be checked.  Keep us posted you are in my thoughts.

Today, flow is little bit more compared to yesterday. Half of the pad got wet. I don't think this is a good sign for pregnancy. Don't know what's happening.

Not yet. I noticed little bleeding in the morning & in night also. Bleeding is not pink, it's red. Usually I have cramping, body pain & head ache during my period. This time I have only back pain in the middle not lower back. I still feel that it's too early for pregnancy test. Don't know what's happening inside me & confused. Anyways thank you so much for taking time to reply to my question. I just kept my fingers crossed & praying to god.

Light bleeding can sometimes be implementation bleeding.  Have you taken a pregnancy test yet?

My period was due on 11/20/2011 I have no symptoms of getting my periods till today. I noticed little red discharge & urine was slightly red. I don't have any cramps, bloating & any kind of periods symptoms. Also I don't see any stain in my panty. Only when I go urine I see this light bleeding. Is this a sign of pregnancy or periods ? Also do a women get periods after 30 or 35 days.

I wanted to put this out there too because I have a sensitive system.  I wasn't drinking a lot of coffee, maybe 2-3 cups a day, but I was reading that coffee/caffeine can affect your fertility so I weened myself off it about a year ago and I actually was pregnant within 3 months and that is after a 5 year space in between children with no contraception other than withdrawing.  For men coffee helps sperm count and for women I was reading it decreases fertility.  I'm sorry I don't have the source handy where I found that because it was a year ago that I looked it up, but if you check on fertility foods etc you might be able to find additional resources.

I'm glad someone was able to post about the fertility monitors, to think back in the day we didn't have this technology to help.  Keep us posted!

My husband & I are using the clearblue fertility moniter and sticks. It helps you understand your cycle & when your most fertile time is. You can buy the moniter in Boots but is very expensive. I got mine off ebay (new though) and was only £45 instead of £99. Good luck with your endevours, I am in the same boat as you, we are desperatley trying, but we need to remember to relax, enjoy ourselves, it will happen I am sure. Xxx

Wow that is a great statistic that I didn't know Clysta about the 25% chance of conception a month.  Yes and its important to not make it a job, that takes away all the fun :)

Are you tracking your ovulation so you know your most fertile times and monitoring your cervical fluid?
