3 months of negatives ... is this normal?
Hello,
My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 3 months with no luck. I'm on folic acid, we take ovulations tests, we have sex every day during my fertile days, and I even lay in bed still for 10 mins after sex (i heard somewhere that it can help). What's the average number of months it takes to get pregnant? Every month is heartbreaking more than the last. Any advice? Tips? Thank you!

I use the app My Cycles to track my cycle and use OPKs as well.
Thanks for the encouragement everyone... I hope it happens soon, every month I see that negative it breaks my heart.

I have been trying since march 2013. Now I just stared to document and do the opk. Have you done this?
I understand how you feel cuz i have been trying to conceive the same amount of time and it's very discouraging. But just relax and everything will fall into place, I have learnt that the body is a very funny thing and it tends to do what it want sometimes but just relax hunny that's all.
Thank you very much! I use ovulation tests already and my cycles seem very regular. Hopefully it happens soon :)
Its very discouraging when it doesn't happen straight away but it's actually quite normal for a healthy couple to take up to 12 months to get pregnant. It sounds like your doing everything right so I'm sure it will happen soon. Conception is all about timing, you only have a very small window each month to get pregnant so timing is everything.
Eat well and keep active, this will help with the stress and worry. As the above poster said, try ovulation strips to pinpoint your fertile days, your husband could go for a sperm test to check everything is ok there. And keep having regular sex from day 10-20 of your cycle (day 1 is the first day of your period).
After 12months of not conceiving then go to your doctor, they will run some blood tests or refer you to a specialist.
