Why Can't I get pregnant?

If my husband and I are having sex 3 days before ovulation, during ovulation and 2 days after to be certain that we have hit it during all the fertile times, then why am I not getting pregnant? I'm 22 so I'm starting out young, I'm tracking temps and using opk's, I know when I'm ovulating.

Give it time.  Some women can take as long as 9 months or even longer to get pregnant.  Don't stress about it because stress is not good when trying to get pregnant.  Also be careful how many times you are doing it before you ovulate because you don't want your husbands sperm count to drop from doing it too much.  If you or your husband smokes, stop because that can make it harder.  Although I know alot of people who smoked and still got pregnant.  Which is not good at all.
I would give it a few more months and then go see your doc or have your husband go get a sperm count done.
