Q: I Am Fertile But I Can't Seem to Get Pregnant

I am 21 years old. I was with my ex-fiance for 3 years and we didn't use protection and I never got pregnant 3 months after we seperated he got someone else pregnant so I thought it was just me. I had a one night stand and I got pregnant I ended up getting an abortion. I went back to my doctors for a check up right after the abortion to make sure everything was okay and it was. My boyfriend now is 31 years old and we have been together for 1 1/2 years and he has 3 kids his last child was just born A few months ago so I know he is still fertile. I have been trying to get pregnant since September and it still hasn't happened. Is there any advice or anything that could help me get pregnant now that I know I can?

Re: I Am Fertile But I Can't Seem to Get Pregnant
It's not uncommon for women to try for more than 9-12 months to become pregnant. I know that you've been trying since September, but that isn't yet long enough to be blaming a medical problem. It's most likely that you just aren't having sex at the right times; a fertile egg is only able to be fertilized for a few days, and if you miss that time, you won't become pregnant. The challenging part is identifying when you're most fertile.

If you're really serious about becoming pregnant, I suggest looking into the Fertility Awareness Method which can help you determine when you're most fertile. It's relatively free to do, and you should be able to find a book about it in your library. There are some sites online devoted to this topic, but they tend to be brief. All you need is a few minutes everyday to observe your temperature and/or cervical mucus or cervical position and chart that information. It doesn't take long to see a pattern and be able to apply the information.
