Q: 7 Months of Ttc. No Luck Yet. Does It Mean I Cant Have Baby?

Ive been ttc since january of 2006. Nothing yet so far. Me and my fiance are trying to have a baby. Sometimes, my period takes longer then when its suppose to come and when I take the pregnancy test, it always comes out negative. And im losing all my hopes now. I dont know what to think!!! Does this mean I cant have kids or what? I really want to be a mother and it would kill me and my b/f to not be able to conceive. Now, im a day late for my period and yea, ive been having mild, really really light cramp-like pain and ive been really emotional and really depress. Im just not going to think that I might be pregnant. Im not going to get my hopes up again. Has anyone had this same experience? Will it get better? Please help! I need some positive advice! :(

It will not kill you not to be able to conceive a child. It will hurt to the very core of your being but not to the point of death. Don't even try to give up until you have been trying at least two years with not results. And most fert. Dr's won't even see you until you have been ttc for at least 12 mths. Trust me I know going on 6 years now.

A healthy couple can take anywhere from 6 months to a year to conceive a child, sometimes longer. It's all to do with timing, and everything happening at precise moments. The sperm need to be in the correct place at the same time as the egg, and timing for this can be tricky if you're unsure of your ovulation cycle. And even if the egg is fertilized, it might not implant.

Stressing about it will only cause problems. I know it's hard, but try to relax. Sometimes letting nature take its course is more effective. Try to focus on an intimate, loving relationship with your fiance and just try to make love as often as possible. I wouldn't bother with pregnancy tests unless your period is late, as your mind can play tricks on you when you start the "am .I?" game.

I'm sure everything is fine, honey. You're probably fertile as can be! Remember to just have fun with lovemaking, keep it intimate instead of making it a job (which is something conceiving couples have trouble with) and leave the rest up to your body. It knows what to do. My hopes are with you. :)

Try using opks and having sex around the time that you are fertile, seeing that your periods are somewhat irregular, I would think that you are not ovulating when you think that you are, hence not getting pregnant. And just like ayamiyaki said, it can take a healthy couple up to 12 months to get pregnant, because the inner working of getting pregnant is so complex (its not as simple is we all were made to believe in sex ed....The timing as well as other factors are crucial). I myself am on my 7th month trying as well, this month I am using pre-seed because I have never experienced ewcm, wich I think is making it a bit more difficult for me. But keep on trying, after 12 months of trying during your fertile period if nothing happens then you can go and see your doctor.

I also started ttc in january of 06 and have had no luck. My doctor is really good and started helping us with this month. My first step was getting blood work done which ended up showing that my ovulation was off and that I had low horomone levels. Therefore I am now taking clomid and estrogen pills to help me. I also like foxy am trying the pre seed this month and my doc said to also use the tussin to help the mucus for ovualtion since mine was off. Maybe you can talk to your doc and they can help you earlier as did mine. If not then just keep trying differnt things and hopefully it will happen theres more of us out here then what we think that are ttc and have the same thoughts as you but it will happen!
