Trying to get pregnant

hi,

 

i am 29 years old and my husband is 35... We have been trying to get pregnant for 8 months and no luck :( I have and my husband have got the standard tests ( blood hormone ect done ) and we are OK. I am not sure why we are not conceiving getting a bit worried... I exercise 4 times a week, eat healthy , my stress level is a bit high and  we used to drink wine 6 days a week and now since we TTC we have limited to red wine on the weekend.. Just wine with dinner... Any advice? I have seen a infertility doc and she has found nothing wrong.. i am not sure if i should stop "trying " and go with the flow ... my only fear is that i am getting .

 

any advice would be great

  • Are you charting at all or are you guys just kinda winging it? I only ask because I have found charting to be EXTREMELY helpful.

  • It took us years to conceive... no fun!

    I would definitely suggest ovulation kits and charting, like PP mentioned. I have a 28 day cycle, so I assume for the first year that I was ovulating around day 14. Turns out I ovulate on day 11! So that was good to find out. Still took us a long time after finding that out, but I had fertility issues on top of it. If you guys both checked out at the docs, you should be fine! Keep trying and good luck :)

  • i used the basal thermometer - when i started trying i had been on the pill for 10 years and didn't have much of a regular cycle so when i started keeping track of my "cycle" and temp then it seemed to help.

    good luck and don't worry or stress! it'll happen (easier said than done i'm afraid)

  • It can take an average healthy couple up to a year to conceive. Seeing a fertility doctor is jumping the gun a bit, IMO.

    I would suggest a copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility and/or a tutorial on fertilityfriend.com. Very helpful.
