Having Problems with Getting Pregnant

My husband and I tried for 2 years as well. We used the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weichler. It is a wonderful and SUCCESSFUL book. We were pregnant the first time trying in less than 3 months. However, we miscarried and it was a molar pregnancy. Then we tried again after blood tests for 6+ months. We were pregnant the very first month, unfortunately, I miscarried that one too. At that point, my OB found out my body didn't produce enough progesterone to sustain a pregnancy. She put me on Chlomid (low dose), progesterone, and estrogen. She said if she prescribes one, she prescribes them all b/c it has been so successful. We were pregnant 4 mo. later. But, this was also by following the plan in the book. You take your morning temps and check cervical fluid/position. I know a lot of people who followed the plan after trying several years without success. Once they did what the book said, they were pregnant within months. Try reading and following the book first, then go from there for other help.

I had infertility issues throughout my 20's. My OB/GYN is Dr. Polaschek at the Trinity Medical Center in Moline. She's wonderful. She will bend over backwards to get you tested, start treatments and refer you to the Iowa City clinic for evaluation. I ended up getting pregnant at 32 all on my own. I thought I was infertile, but it just happened. Not sure about your age, but the sooner the better for starting treatment.

Sometimes you try to hard and your body blocks you from getng pg. Just relax! There are also vitamins at the vitamin store called fertillity. I don't know much about them though. Just "give up". It will happen when it is meant to be. Good Luck!

I am assuming you have both actually been in and checked out? Did the doctor not have any ideas?

If your cycles are normal, I would think you are ovulating *normal*
Have you read taking charge of your fertility? That is a great book!

You could always try ovulex too! I did and got pregnant the first month with using it.

Have you tried the clearblue easy fertility monitor? With my first we got pregnant the first month we used it (after trying for several months without success) and with the second I was pregnant the 3rd month. It is not cheap, but you can get it secondhand on ebay and resell it when you don't need it anymore. I bought and sold the monitor for the same price so all it cost me was the sticks.
Good luck!

I have to agree with the ones that say relax.... I have heard that trying to hard can cause your body to not get pregnant because of the stress.... Good Luck to you. It'll come when it's meant to be. Just relax and enjoy this time.

That sound rather frusterating.. I'm having the opposite problem, I have a four year old and a ten month old and another on the way. My friend on the other hand had a simular problem, she and her husband tried for almost a year and finally got pregnant. she said it happend when she least expected it. this is what she did, she went on a night out with her husband, they got a motel room with a hot tub in it and had a few drinks. I think it was because she was relaxed and so was he. try something similar and enjoy yourselves. what could it hurt, it might bring you two closer.
have fun, good luck Chris

Hi A.,

I agree with the first post. Just relax and enjoy your husband. If you are stressed about getting pregnant it is very possible that your body will not let you get pregnant. Also, have you spoken with your doctor or had testing to verify that there is not a problem with either you or your husband?

My best friend and her husband had been trying for a good bit of time with no results and on New Year's Eve with the help of a bit of alchohol they got pregnant. Don't misunderstand what I am saying, I am not promoting drinking, but for my friend it allowed her to finally not think about getting pregnant and when that stress was removed from the equation it happened...

GOOD LUCK!!

I know of a GREAT Dr. He helped me with getting pregnant and I now have twin boys. His name is Dr. William Gentry and his # is ###-###-#### and he is located on the North side. He is a really good Dr. and has great success rates!
