a little concerned.

harleykay · February 2012

Hi ladies, Im not sure if we are having "trouble" ttc, but I have been off of my pill since last March and have BD'd with no protection since then.. We havent actually really tried until this January ( charting temp, etc). Should I be concerned that nothing has happened yet? I am thinking that since I have been off for so long that something should have. tia..

I think a better board for you would be Trying to Get Pregnant. most of the ladies on here have been trying for a year plus and have a medical diagnosis. if you're really concerned that something is wrong (your temps are erratic, you're not getting your period at all) then ask your OB or see an RE for an initial consultation. otherwise, you might not be BD'ing at your O times (which equals not really "trying" since you can BD all you want, but if it's not in the window then you're crap out of luck). keep in mind also that a normal, healthy couple only has a 20% chance of conceiving every month. good luck.

How old are you?

If you're over 35, head to an RE for a fertility work up.

If you're under 35, head over to Trying to Get Pregnant.

Just want to add that it can take a normal healthy couple a year or more to conceive. GL

Hey,

I just posted for the first time so I'm new to this. I'm almost in the same boat just not as long unprotected and with 3 months "trying". So far nothing. It was good for me to read that a normal healthy couple still can take a long time. How then did so many of my friends get pregnant on the first shot? Luck is a b-tch. I'm doing my best not to get discouraged. It's probably just that you haven't been really "trying" yet. My friend who got pregnant the second month she tried, for her first baby, has been trying as long as us and also nothing yet. I just wanted people to tell me it will be ok, so I'm tell you...it will be ok:) All the LUCK!!!

You can (kindly) take your three months of "experience" and shove them up your ass.

This is a board for women with legitimate medical problems hindering their fertility, which you do not have.

You do NOT belong on here.

So you've only really been trying for about 2 months, correct? It can take a healthy couple a year of well timed intercourse (charting your temps, using opks etc.) to get pregnant, so I'd say wait another 10 months before you get too worried. The ladies over on the Trying To Get Pregnant board are very helpful, so I would definitely head over there. This board is for women who have been trying for years to get pregnant, and have a medical diagnosis. Good luck!

Yeah.......if you were just guessing when you might be fertile I wouldn't consider it legit trying. It was more like guessing and hoping. Neither of you with 3 months in of legit trying belong here. Why can't people read and understand the specific topic of a forum? You aren't having trouble officially you're just impatient. We all know what that is like but this isn't this appropriate forum to inquire with. We all have legitimate diagnose(s) from our doctors.

I do not post a lot on here, and mostly just lurke about (I guess I'm entitled to do so since I've been trying to conceive for the correct amount of time and have severe MFI and have to do OOP IVF), but I have something to say to the few posts in reply to this girls questions. I think it is a disgrace that grown women should curse at this person about her posting on here. Some said it politely, and gave her legit feedback. But, to be so immature and bitter to curse at her? Come on.

Considering that you admit you are just a lurker and not a regular poster, do you really have the right to criticize regular posters for getting upset at insensitive posts?

It really depends how much you BDed. If it was at least 2-3 days per week, then those cycles count as 'trying' even if you weren't charting. If that's the case, then it's been 11 months and that's pretty close to the year. If your sex wasn't that regular, then not all 11 months really count. If that's the case, you need to just keep trying.

(Assuming you hit the fertile window at least 8/11 cycles) If you have regular cycles, and charting shows you ovulate, then here's what I recommend: you should talk to your OB and request a SA for your husband. If that comes back normal, keep on trying with perfect timing for another 3 months or so. If you still have no luck, get a consult with a RE.

Good luck!
