Can i get pregnant?

[babydust11]

Hi. I was wondering if any one can give me advice. Okay so i have been having unprotected sex with my fiance' for 18 months and still not pregnant. We aren't "actively" trying but i just thought i would be pregnant by now. Can some one give me advice please. thanks

sometimes it can take a couple of years for some couples to fall pregnant hun. What i would do, cause you been trying for over 1 year is see your dr. Have you thought about getting some ovulation testing sticks to see if your ovulating, or taking your temp and checking that way. I would probably try the ovulation tests first and see what happens there. Try not to stress about it though, it will happen when its right.

Maybe your timing is just off???

 

[babydust11]

Ptwannabe: I was thinking that it could be timing. I mean i haven't used ovulation strips, or done temps. I just hope i can conceive. I just keep telling myself it will happen. My periods have been regular for the last few months. I hope it will happen soon.

Ahhh that's good. If it helps, she gave up booze for the 3 months prior to her bfp too. Not sure if it made a difference, but there ya go! Xx

Really 3.5 years, that makes me feel better in a way! I don't drink but smoke cigs. :/ another thing, i had appendicitis when i was 11. Do you think that has anything to do with me getting pregnant?

No, it wouldn't make a difference.

I keep wondering the same thing. We certainly weren't ready when we went NTNP, and really aren't entirely "ready" now either, him especially. I am in the wave that says "you are never really ready!"
But we have been NTNP for 13 months. I have PCOS, along with mental disorders and a few other things I do not care to get into. I feel like the odds are against me, but having it be a surprise is what I would really like the most. I took one of those First Response fertillity tests, it came free in a box of preg tests. It says it only measures reserves, and the ability to release eggs etc, and it came up positive, so at least I have some eggies in there!
Every month I hope its THE month, I had a psychic reading that said it would be last month, but it did not happen. The month before I may have had a chemical.
Keep your chin up and don't get too wound up if it hasn't been a long time trying. You will get there!

Limeferret: Thank you so much for that, it just feels like everyone else is getting pregnant and i'm not. I'm the same way I keep hoping af doesn't come every month but she always shows up! And another thing my mom conceived TWICE on birthcontrol!! First time with me and the second time with TWINS! She wasn't even trying, she was preventing. So I try to tell myself it will happen. I've been off the pill since January even though I was only on it for about a month or two. Good luck to you!

 

[LimeFerret]

Oh man. One of my old friends just gave birth, and another one made the announcement that she is expecting. I just have to keep my chin up and know one day I will have my precious little one...

Limeferret: Exactly i just think positive. And my fiance and I are the only ones without a baby, so that doesn't help!

Honey08: Wow really that long? I know my fiance is fertile. maybe your right i've also had unprotected sex with my other ex for 9 months and nothing happend, Gladley! My mother even told me just bc it may not be easy to get pregnant for me doesn't mean i can't get pregnant. As all of my friends who have gotten pregnant have said don't ever think you can't get pregnant lol. i'm just worried bc i have always wanted a baby. Everyone always asks when are you going to have one any suggestions though? my periods have been coming every 30-33 days..
thanks SO much, you've made me feel better!
