Trying for a baby, and losing hope...?

I think you need to try and chill out about the whole thing, even though it is easier said than done. Three months really is nothing at all. Having said that, I know how you feel because it only took me 5 months to get pregnant with my daughter but I still felt gutted by every period that came even in that short time. Try not to get too hung up on when you should be having sex either as it can put a feel strain on your relationship. The best advice i read was just to make sure you have sex every 2-3 days around your fertile time, as then you should ensure there is always sperm there for when ovulation happens. I think that is what worked for me. And you are still very young. I find when I go to mother and baby stuff I am often one of the younger mums there (and I was 28 when I had my daughter). So you have loads of time. Be patient if you can! Good luck

it can take a healthy couple 18mths to conceive so try and relax. stress can play a big part in irregular periods and can also make it harder to concieve. Your doctor will likely not want to send you to a fertility clinic until you have been actively trying to get pregnant for 18mths however there are some things that you can do to try and improve your chances of having a baby. Being over or under weight can cause irregular periods and cause infertility, eat a healthy diet and take folic acid daily. Cut out cigarettes and alcohol. Take regular exercise and have sex at your most fertile time of the month, use an ovulation calender or test to help you with this. Agnus castus is a herbal remedy that can help regulate a womans cycle which could help you conceive. good luck

Hi there I know how you feel, we are trying for a baby too. The doctors won't test to see if anything's wrong til you've been trying at least a year. Worrying about it makes it less likely because you need to be relaxed about it for it to happen. This doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you, a lot of people take longer than 6 months to conceive and there's nothing wrong with them. My periods are irregular too but this doesn't mean you can't conceive it just means that you might not be ovulating every single month so it would be normal for it to take longer to get pregnant. I know it's hard because I'm in the same boat and every time I do a test and it's negative I feel crap too. Take it easy and try to relax about it, that's what I'm trying to do, good luck x x x

When you are having sex don't concentrate on "oh this is the time" or "Am I going to get pregnant this time" my husband and I have 2 boys now and we are trying for our 3rd and last and trust me I feel the same way you so (only you son't have any yet) but your time will come. Maybe try talking to your doctor about it and maybe he can help because it is really hard to figure out when you ovulate when your periods are irregular! Good Luck and Best of Wishes

We have been married for 9 months & I came off the pill a month or so b4 the wedding. I only turned 23 last month. I was beginning to lose hope of falling pregnant too but I found out 2 weeks ago that I am expecting!

I am now 6 weeks & 3 days pregnant & thrilled to bits!

Don't give up hope, it's still very early days.

If it worries u that much, go see your doctor.

Good luck!!! xxx

We had to wait twelve year. Had test low sperm count beleive it or not tight jeans. Stopped wearing tight clothes sprem count after several months went from 3 million to 40 million. Three children now if i ever get my hands on that Dr.

just kidding you have loads of time tell him to try the lose clothes thingy. When your getting up at 3 in the morning you can thank me then

It took me about 8 months to get pregnant. Everyone is different. Some people take longer to get pregnant than others. Don't put so much pressure on yourself and just relax. Your time WILL come. Good Luck!!!!!

Ask your doctor to test you to see if you are able to get pregnant. Even if he/she says no, DO NOT GIVE UP. My aunt wanted so badly for a child, and her day hadn't come. Her doctor had said she couldn't have a baby. But my aunt never gave up. On May 1st, 2000, my aunt gave birth to my little cousin Danny, and he is healthy as can be. He is now 5 and in kindergarten. Oh how I love that kid...

Please stop worrying. Stress will not help you concieve and will just put unnecessary pressure on you and your husband.

You havent had enough time to blame fertility problems yet. It can take much longer than 6 months to get pregnant. You need to relax and focus less on the panic to get pregnant. You are young enough and it will happen.

If yiou are still concerned go see a doctor. I am sure he or she will tell you the same thing
