STILL trying....

-_- let me start by saying I tend to be a little impatient... with that said, it has been 7 months of trying and nothing! Not even a suspicion... I know I'm supposed to relax and enjoy this time with my husband but I'm starting to get nervous! Every woman in my family seems to be super fertile,  but what if I can't have children? Has anyone else felt like this?! Please tell me that 7 months is normal and I have nothing to worry about!

My husband and I tried for 3 years. After my 3rd miscarriage I gave up and said I didn't want to go through it again. I went to see a doctor about getting a hysterectomy and found out I was pregnant. I'm now 27 weeks with a perfectly healthy little girl.

I know its very hard not to stress about it trust me!! But when you lease expect it, it WILL happen!! 2 days before I was booked with a fertility gynecologist I found out I was pregnant!!

My fiance has been married 3 times and never had kids with any of the ex wives (not from lack of trying). He was then told by a doctor that his sperm count was to low to ever have kids... So he gladly accepted my little girl as his own... So we never worried about me getting pregnant. We even went online to see home remedies to get his count up. So just to be funny we tried the loose underware for him, eating bananas, pomagranete juice, and elevating my rear ... Lets just say I am 29 weeks with a little girl.. It is even to the point his sister turned her back on him because she does not believe the baby is his... So miracles happen in time...

U may be suppose to relax and enjoy it but idk how anyone could the waiting game every month then the let down I know how it is. If u havent checked that everything is normal id say do that first so any issues are brought to light after that if u can afford it I suggest the ov test kits they can get expensive but my hormones were all over since I quit bf put on bc for 1 month then did the digital ov kit and it worked 1st month but just remember theres alot of things that have to align to make it happen but u will get there!

You are not alone! I tried with my ex husband for 1 year. He ended up getting another chick pregnant. Hence the ex part. My now wonderful husband and officially tried for a year and we're unprotected for years before. I actually can't use bc. So yes. I felt like I couldn't have kids especially since my hubby has 2 kids with 2 other women. It's a horrible feeling. We even began going to the doctor but they couldn't find a reason that we couldn't get pregnant. After a year. I said you know what. I'm tired of trying. We decided to take a break from trying...guess what. The next month, 2 days after Christmas we found out we're expecting. I'm now 12 weeks and 2days. So keep your head up. Don't stress. It will happen when you least expect it. I know it *****. Don't give up hope. Good luck to you!

Getting pregnant is not easy as it seems. My husband & I tried for 6 months before finding out it finally happened but with that said, I felt the exact same way as you. All the women in my family got pregnant easy & I started thinking something was wrong with me. I took folic acid pills to help prep my body but that didn't seem to work then I decided to start an amazing prenatal vitamin as well to give my body thst extra boost. I also decided to go to the doctor & have my hormones checked because I did have a miscarriage at 4 weeks. The results did show that my hormones weren't in check & wouldn't support a pregnancy which was devastating & I mentally told myself I was done trying to get pregnant, but the lord had other plans because just 10 days after learning the results of that blood test, I had a postive pregnany test! I was in total shock cause I had quit trying! It was amazing. I was placed on progesterone hormone treatments twice a day immediately to support my pregnany & am now 9 weeks. So I totally recommend meeting with your doctor just to make sure everything is ok with you.  If you're good, then they may want to have a sample from your partner to make sure he's good too, but seriuosly, let the pressure go to get pregnant. It's amazing how we can beat ourselves up & stress which could be just enough to delay your dream. I wish you all the best & just know I was in your shoes....it will happen.

My husband and I actively tried for a year and finally when I told him I couldn't deal with the heartbreak of another negative test, we decided to stop trying and get back on birth control... I went in to get birth control and was told I'm pregnant! We we are so excited but it was frustrating it didn't happen in the time I wanted it to. Try to give up in your mind and it'll happen :) Good luck to you and your husband!

My husband and have been trying off and on for 6 years! I finally had my first positive test in December. It took me a long while, but never in my life have I had regular periods, and I think that's what made it hard to conceive. Don't worry, 7 months really isn't that long. If you're really worried about it, you can have a doctor check you out.

I'm 38 weeks now but my husband and i had had sex without using anything for about 4 1/2 years. ..I was worried something was really wrong and I had gone in for some fertility testing. ... Things ended up happening and I got caught up in life and put off scheduling the tests I needed to take. ... About 3 months after that we found out I was pregnant and it was the best suprise!  It really is true once you stop trying it happens so just calm down and try to enjoy your life without children with your husband because it's time you won't have for 18 plus years :)

Seven months is normal. It can take up to a year on average. Its alright to be worried but talk to your ob about it and let them reassure you. Dont take all the fun out of trying because it happens when you least expect it.  Good luck.
