Q: Trying For Over a Year
asked by: tootsie828 on March 30th, 2004

Hi my boyfriend and I of 5 years have been trying to have a baby for about a year and a half and still nothing. I have done the ovulation predictor kits and and almost everything else, I think I have figured out when I am ovulating. Is there something else I could do or maybe one of us cant have kids? My boyfriend got a girl pregnant when he was 18(then the girl got a abortion) and is now 31. Could it be me? Crying or Very sad

They say that if you stop trying and just let it happen, it might work. To set your mind at ease have a fertility test. Don't think about it and enjoy oneanother. It will probably happen when you least expect it. Good luck Wink

It may not be anything, a friend of mine was telling me the other day, I dont really know how to explain it but ill do my best. That if u stress about trying to have a child ur body sort of shuts down and creates a barrier that wont let the little swimmers through. It may sound crazy but its not like a wall comes down but think of it in those terms only metaphorically speaking.

Just enjoy the art of love making dont let having a baby become wot sex is about. Im currently trying to have a child also and no luck yet. But I try and have sex not just on ovulation days but throughout the month, we also try and do it just b4 going to sleep that way u feel totally at ease and totally relaxed and enjoying the moment, or in the morning b4 one of us has to go to work, that way u feel good and happy and relaxed and its not just about a baby.

Other than that seeing how it has been over a year I would visit my doc and get him to run some tests if there is a prob with either one of u ur doc might no how to fix it or at least offer a solution this way u will no either way.

I would go to the doctor too since it has been over a year. They can check some of your hormone levels, which if they are off could cause problems.

And if you have been trying for over a year, there are meicines that you could take, if you choose, to help you get preggie.

Good luck! We have been ttc since 7-03.

My husband and I tried to conceive for three years with no luck. I finally gave up and accepted the fact that I was probably infertile and would never conceive. The funny part is, two weeks after I came to that conclusion I got pregnant. I'm 16 weeks along and it feels like a dream come true. Hang in there. I didn't go to any feritility doctors or anything I was hoping it would happen on it's own and it did. It takes time and just when you give up or focus your life on something else, it will happen.

Good luck!

That is what you have to do. Relax and don't stress about it and it will happen! (in most cases) just enjoy practicing! Laughing
