Q: Why Can't I Get Pregant?

Hello all!
My boyfriend and I have been trying to get pregnant for a good year! I don't know why I havn't been able to get pregnant yet! It's really difficult every month when I think I could be, but then i'm not. I need some help, and some moral support. Sometimes I just want to cry thinking maybe I cant have children. I have been pregnant once before when I was 17, and was forced into abortion:( since I have been with my boyfriend, I don't know if I feel I need to make up for our first baby, or if I really want one. Either way I have not become pregnant yet. Please - any encouraging words, or advice.

Thanks :cry:

I'm Here For Ya!
I am in the same boat with ya (sorta). I've never been pregnant. But I was married about 3 years ago & we tried, but I could never get pregnant. Now my boyfriend & I want to have a baby, so I stopped taking bc about 6 months ago & have been taking folic acid & prenat. Vit. But for some reason it hasn't happened yet. Since i'm off my bc I really don't have a regular period... For a couple of months I will.. Then I will be "late" according to my dates.. & I get excited just for my period to come... Then this past time I started having sore breast, so I got to thinkin maybe its happening this month... But no... Its a new thing i'm going to get every month now to go along with the cramps & headache...I understand how you feel every month not being pregnant...So i'm here for you...
So are you wanting to get pregnant? I would be happy to share thoughts with ya... :)

Yeah I really do want to get pregnant! I have been waiting for so long, and I don't see the problem. There is nothing wrong with me acoording to the doc. How about you? Do you really want it bad, or are you still kind of in between?

Oh Yeah
I really want a bundle of joy..& I too am afraid that I can't get pregnant... But all signs say that I can ... I don't know... I hate not knowing. Everyone says don't worry about it, your time will come..But its always the people that already have kids. I guess what i'm saying is that I know how you feel.. Just want you to know your not alone. :)

Thanks!
It's nice to know that someone else is going through the same thing. I wish you so much luck! I hope that it happens for you soon. I also hear that from everyone else, and it is usually the friends of mine that have kids. They are always saying don't rush, its so much stress. Well all I can say is you wouldn't feel that way if you were in my shoes. If you wanted a baby so bad and kept getting your period. It's also so hard to see people who don't even want to get pregnant - get pregnant. They're mad about it, while I crying inside because it's not me. I would love to keep in touch with you while we go through this together.

Just a little advice that I gave my brother and his wife. Stress is a huge factor....It can effect your body in so many ways, most of the changes you will not even notice. My husband and I tried to conceive for 2 years with no luck, when we finally decided to stop trying so hard and go on with our lives (so to speak) that is when I got pregnant. I actually had made an appt. To get on birth control at the end of dec, I got a bfp two weeks before that appt.
My daughter is now three years old, and she is well worth all the waiting we had to go through. So I say relax and keep trying when the time is right you will be blessed.

Baby dust to you all!

I just wanted to let you know that I was not trying to down play your feelings, I know how it feels to want a baby. I did not want you to think that I was saying just get over it, because it is surely not that easy!

I am sending all the baby dust I can to you :d

best wishes, and I am here if you ever need someone to talk to.

why cant i get pregnant
this is one of the worst things that can happen to a woman. it is a primal biological need to want a baby. the tips about 'just relax, it worked for me blah blah; are NOT helpful. It is vitally important to ask your doctor to refer you to a reproductive specialist as the waiting list may be long. if you are lucky you may get pregnant before you go down this road, diagnosis is very important. if there is something wrong with you or your partner there are treatments, fertility drugs, procedures like IUI and IVF and surgery which can increase your chances of getting pregnat. Get diagnosed, then get treatment..facing up to the fact that you cant get pregnant after 6 months is a tough step, my thoughts are with you.
