Six months isn't all that long to be trying considering that women are only at peak fertility for a couple of days a month. In fact, a fertility specialist usually won't even agree to see a couple until they have been trying for at least one year.

So keep trying. Keep tracking your cycle and watching your discharge. If you still are unsuccessful in a few months, you can talk to your ob-gyn about fertility specialists.

Thank you for replying but... is that quite normal as i exercise, eat healthy, rarely drink. Are those ovulation calendars quite accurate?

It is definitely normal. Even healthy couples sometimes take time to get pregnant. We're just not at peak fertility for very long, and even when we are at peak fertility, it still isn't a guarantee that we'll get pregnant.

Also, many women get pregnant, but the pregnancy fails very early on, so early the woman never misses a period and never knew she was pregnant for that short time. That's usually due to chromosomal abnormalities in that developing baby that made it impossible for him to live and grow. It's not anyone's fault, it's just that there's a lot of chromosomes! There's a lot involved in making a baby, and it's easy for things to go wrong. It's kind of natures way of making it more likely that we'll have a healthy baby.

Ovulation calendars are accurate only to a certain extent. The typical ovulation pattern says that a woman should ovulate around day 14 of her cycle. The problem with that is that most women do not have a perfect 28 day cycle. That means they might not be ovulating like clockwork on day 14. If you use a calendar like www.mymonthlycycles.com, then it will take your period's habits into consideration. That means if you have a cycle that is not 28 days, it will take that into consideration when deciding when you should be fertile.

Even that is not a sure thing though. The female cycle is a funny thing. We don't always ovulate when we "should." Some women even ovulate when they have their period.

Any time you are trying to get pregnant, make sure you are taking your vitamins, not drinking alcohol, and not smoking. All of that can affect a developing baby. Also make sure your ob-gyn knows you are trying. Sometimes ob-gyn can give couples some good tips that they wouldn't have thought of otherwise.

thank you for your last reply. i will try the new ovulation calendar you sent me. well i think you were bang on as i think we are both too anxious

Im as Much fustrated and disapointed as the rest who are tryin to get prgenen i am the same 21 healthy weight dont smoke dnt drink not health issues and its been 7months now and i still havent fallen preg and we have sex always during my ovulation days and still no luck?

I have been off the pill since feb and nothing. I have a pretty normal cycles 26-28 days, I chart my fertility and we have sex around ovulation and nothing. I do have a hypothyroid but it has been normal for a while and I am the perfect weight according to my doctors and was told not to lose any more weight. Everyone in my family got pregnate on accident or was on the pill. I am the oldest one in my family (26) to have their first child. Does any one have any suggestion

I got pg with twins right after I started taking folic acid. It is recommended anyways to help prevent birth defects (like cleft palate etc.,). I was taking it just for general reproductive health, and BAM! I got pregnant with a boy and a girl . You could always try a fertility monitor, I know they're expensive, but I found this website where you can rent them *removed*

I think it helps to know when you're ovulating. Try to relax, that definitely helps. Good luck to you!
