I have severe back pain but i did get pregnant quickly. Have you been to see a chiropractor about your back pain? Mine gave me my life back (hardly any pain now) They won't start looking into any problems with trying to get pregnant until after a year of no luck. What are you doing as far as tracking your ovualtion? have you tried ovualtion predictor kits? i        thik they are the best way to figure out when you are actually ovualting

Thankyou for your help. I have been going to the doctor for my back but nothing has worked, they have done x-rays, pap smears, sent me to physical therapy, pain medicine, and a massage therapist but nothing has taken the pain away. Everything started a year ago when I had a yeast infection and I bought over the counter monistat and after that I have been suffering of lower back pain.also I went to a  massage therapist and nothing has worked, it hurts alot when I am at work because I work sitting all day. But I will make an appointment in a chiropractor and see what happens.
Did you have any problems with your back when you got pregnant I mean did your back pain got worse or better? I'd like to know so that I can sleep know I think I will not get pregnant because my lower back hurts all the time, I have a 3 year old and we are trying for the second one but I haven'tgot preg yet.
I will try those predictor kits to see when I am really ovulating.

A chiropractor will help with your overall health, i think they are really important BUT make sure you are comfprtable with yours...i had a really bad experience with one, then a year lady deceided to try again and wasn't comfortable with her, now i have a great realtionship with my chiro.
It is strange that you have had this pain ever since a infection...I wonder if it could be something else like scar tissue or endometriosis. I just had a laprascopy done because ever since i lost my baby i have been having major abdominal pain which they were blaiming on that happend but it turned out to be endo, hopefully i get my bfp next month!
My pregnancy only made it to 19 weeks (lost due to chromosone issues) but my back had not gotten any worse at that point.Oh yeah, when i did get pregnant it was because i went to the Chiro one day and she asked if i was on my period, i said no and she said oh you must be ovualting. i wasn't expecting it for another week, but now i know she was right as i had my cycle wrong (using opk now, get from the internet as they are much cheaper)

I hope the doctors would find what's wrong with my back. I think like you that it's something like a scar tissue, but they just can't find anything. I never thought that I was going to live with this pain this long because i have been hurting for a year now. Thankyou for your help I will look for a chiropracter and see how that works I hope the pain goes away soon.
And thankyou for sharing all that with me.

First of all, I am sorry about your predicament. However, I would not think that having back pain would have anything at all to do with not getting pregnant! To be very honest, the very 1st thing to do is naturally to go to your gynecologist and explain your concerns. If you are not happy with their answer(s), then go to another doctor for a "second opinion." Are you having HEAVY BLEEDING with your periods? I mean REAL heavy bleeding? If so, you may need to have a cat scan done or even an MRI to see if you have a or any "FIBROIDS" inside of you. Fibroids can grow and even get to be the size of a FOOTBALL from the size of a baseball! Seriously! Adding about 7-10 lbs. on you and your stomach would be sticking out more. Also, sometimes, feel your stomach, literally, to make sure it is not real HARD feeling. That could mean a FIBROID. Always go to a SPECIALIST when you have a serious question with regard to ANYTHING with your body. Any physician ever suggesting SURGERY I would ALWAYS go for a SECOND OPINION....ALWAYS! I had a physician that removed my gallbladder about 15 years ago......told me if it wasn't removed because of the pain, then tiny pieces would start breaking off and the pain would end up becoming MASSIVE! Naturally, I listened & had the surgery to remove it. The pathology report came back afterwards and do you know what it said? That my GALLBLADDER was 100% "NORMAL!!!!" There had been NO REASON to have it removed! I continued to have the severe pain afterwards & had an "endoscopy" done down the throat to the liver area. It was the "SPINCTER MUSCLE" area and after that other doctor did this procedure, I NEVER had the severe pain again in my chest....NEVER. Unfortunately, there are a small amount of doctors out there who just want to MAKE MONEY!! Naturally, not all. So.......go to a couple of gynecologists, please. At least one of them should know and if you get TWO different opnions, don't feel badly if you must go for a THIRD opinion! Remember, it is YOUR body and YOUR life!!! Good luck and Happy Holidays!     P.S.   Just go for your own piece of mind, if nothing else! I will pray for you.
