I am trying to get pregnant

May 06, 2008

I am consulting a doctor to get pregnant. We have taken tests, both my husband and myself and the results are normal. No issues in fertility for both. Dr. has adviced me to take folic acid regularly. But till now I am not preganant, though intercourse was scheduled from 12th day till 20th day for about 6 months. But no luck, I am so frustrated and lost interest in life. Can you suggest me what else to do.

Folic Acid will not help u get preggo. Its just like a vitamin supplement. I would say try using Ovulation kits rather than having intercourse from Day 12-20. They will help u pinpoint ur most fertile dates.

How old are u? It takes upto a year for a healthy couple to get preggo. Odds are 25% /month.

If still no pregnancy, then its called unexplained infertility. Ur Dr will start u on pills like clomid to help u super ovulate and try doing IUI.

Hi Ramya,

It can take a while. I'm in the same position: My husband and I have been trying off and on for about 9 months. It's frustrating and difficult. Keep trying, and it'll happen, especially since you've both been checked.

GOOD LUCK!

i have been to see my doctor cause ive been trying for a baby now for 2 years, i am taking folic acid and doing ovulation kits but it dont seem to be working its detecting my lh surge but i still aint getting pregnant is there anything else u can tell me please

2 yrs of unprotected sex warrants you going to see a specialist. Most likely would start with your dh and check for sperm issues....

one thing that i have been told by many women is that once they stopped using the ov kits and relaxed about it then they fell pregnant. Try not "scheduling" your sex. some web sites can give your fertility maps that tell you when you are most fertile so then you have more of an idea when you might ovulate and just have fun! I know its hard i am in the same boat after carrying a baby to 13 weeks and then finding it dindt survive past 8. Have been trying since jan and i have been driving myself crazy with the ov kits and all the testing.I have given that up and am just gonna have sex everyday during my fertile week and hope for the best!! Dont forget to elevate those hips!! Baby dust XXX

I am 25yrs now... I have seen a trend in the past 6 months that right after 18th day, I get cold and feel feverish... Is it a symptom that something is not going well in my body...

May 26, 2008

Thanks for all your comments, I am trying to be relaxed but 5 days before my expected periods, I get worried and tensed that things should go well, but till now...my expectation has not turned out to be true... :)

May 26, 2008

My cycle is 31 days exactly... this month tried hard... everytime i get a bad stomach pain during the periods... I checked the doctor, but she says.. nothing to worry...

May 29, 2008

your very young stay calm if ur doc says nothing to worry then its okay rely on the opks and chart ur body temps it will work are ur cycles normal ...

June 20, 2008

my cycle is normal. We have tried this month to hit the fertile day. My next periods is on 27th June. I am hoping that I will get preggo. my boobs are very soft and I wanted to eat a lot. Are these positive signs.... I get a very little white discharge too...

June 20, 2008

Hi Ramya hope u get preggo this cycle..But the symptoms u have are just signs that u ovulated. Too early to speculate abt period or pregnancy..Hope its the latter for ya.

June 20, 2008

my boobs are soft for the last 2 weeks, but my body temp raised a little on 18th. we have sex on 15th n 17th.

June 20, 2008

wat are the chances for me to get preggo this month ... I am worried as we are together for 2 years and not yet conceived.

June 20, 2008

Ramya, you need to see a Dr if ur TTC for 2 yrs.

June 21, 2008

hey ramya i think its best u see a gyne or a RE if u are trying for 2 yrs even if everything looks normal ur RE can make things more accurate for u dont waste time ...good luck to u LOTS OF BABY DUST COMING UR WAY

June 30, 2008

This month I still didn't get my periods. I expected to get my periods on 27th June but not got it till now. I had bad back pain few days back, but not now. I dont have the symptoms of getting my periods too. I am very nervous to take a preg test...

June 30, 2008

Ramya are you sure of your ovulation day via using opk's, bbt, u/s, progestorne...if so and your period is due it's time to take a hpt test....keep us posed

June 30, 2008

Hi Angelfish,

I have not used any kits for predicting Ovulation. My periods are 31 days cycle. This month it was so strange to see my boobs very soft for 2 weeks as mentioned before. I used Deviry from 16th day of my periods for 10 days as prescribed by my doctor. I hope I get preggo this month. I will do the home preg test on Wednesday. Will keep u posted. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I will be th hapiest person if I get a positive result.

June 30, 2008

Deviry is a progesterone supplement and can cause the soft bbs. If u see the timing coincides with the date u started Deviry. Hope u get preggers and sending u a lot of good luck this cycle. Keep us posted.

July 01, 2008

I did a preg test, but got a BFN. will try few days later... :)

July 01, 2008

HopeN / Angelfish,

will it be possible to get a positive result after few days? I still dont have a symptom to get my periods. And I dont get any symptoms of preg as well. I dont get sleep in the nite, but I am hungry in the nite. But not hungry in the morning.

July 01, 2008

Hi Ramya you poor soul....I know you are going out of your mind with this mess sending you some big (((hugs)))...think you need them now.....now with your question if preggo and if you know your ovulation day 100% you should be getting a +hpt by now. Now I know you say you are not late but I promise you this it can change it has with me and I was always clock work so right now if you are getting a BFN then you are not preggo because to be preggo you have to have hcg in your system and that is what hpt's and beta's pick up. Give it to the end of the week and if no BFP or period time to see your dr....either one of two things are happening

1. You have ovulated later than you normally do.

2. You haven't ovulated at all.

I'm thinking you might have ovulated a lil later than normal because you are getting the "normal" progestore signs. Ramya this happens to all of us regular ladies but I'm keeping you in our prayers...it's not over until the af comes. You might want to visit your dr and see if you did ovulate and he can preform a simple blood test (ouch) if it is over 5ml you ovulate or via u/s. Keep me posted and if you need anything we are here for you.

July 02, 2008

You are right, I probably ovulated later than usual...I got my periods today... hard work continues... :)

July 02, 2008

Hey Ramya so have insurance sex for a couple of days after when you think you ovulate. Good luck
