Kinda silly but I would like to know why.?

Because there's not an egg just sitting there all the time. The "authorities" tried to scare you as a teenager into thinking you could get pregnant every time you have sex. It's just not true.

Americans, with our poor diet and unhealthy lifestyles (or conversely over-exercised, super stressed-out lifestyles), often do not possess the baby temples necessary for fertility.

We also tend to wait too long to attempt pregnancy. The average peak fertility is age 22 in women. While 26 isn't too old to have a baby by any means, your cycles start changing and your fertility slows down as you approach 30-35 years old.

And I just have to ask. Does your boyfriend know you want to have a baby? It's pretty horrible and deceitful not to tell him you're attempting to get pregnant with his child. If I was a man and a woman did that to me, I'd be extremely angry and consider ending the relationship. It's an incredible emotional and financial investment to have a baby as you probably already know. He needs to be just as ready as you are before that happens.

If you don't care what he thinks and want to do it on your own, go get sperm donor sperm and do it. That way, the boyfriend can choose to participate or split. Either way you'll have a lovely little bundle of joy.

And also, consider the reasons that you want a baby. Do you want one because all your friends have one? (They don't *all* have one, I promise.) Do you want one because they'll love you no matter what? (That's not a guarantee, babies are completely self-centered and teenagers are worse.) Do you want one to keep your relationship with the boyfriend alive? (Not telling him is likely to ruin it irrevocably.)

Have a baby because you want to love someone and give up everything and act like a fool for the next 22 years (or more!).

It takes some time.. You never know how many times you will have unprotected sex and not get pregnant.. It took my husband and I about 2 years of unprotected sex to get pregnant.. You can plan and try to have sex between the 11th and 14th day after your preiod starts when your ovulating to get pregnant.. But make sure your boyfriend is on board and knows your plan.. You can just be one of those people that it takes a while.. good luck though...

Please ignore the myth that you should only have sex around the 14th day of your cycle because the 28 day cycle is simply an AVERAGE...the fact is many women ovulate as early as 10 days after a period and many others like me ovulate closer to 21 days later...after charting for a few months you can assume you ovulate about 14 days BEFORE your period...so you should have sex in the 3-6 days before that time...

It isn't silly. These things take time. I remember hearing while growing up... it could only take that one time... fact is it could but it could also take a hundred times. Be patient with your self and you guy. And you might ... if in a hurry want to start keep up with when you ovulate each month. I am not saying keep a thermometer with you at all times and call you guy in and say now or never, but keeping track of you cycle may help.

Could be because he didnt do that while you are ovulating....It takes more then 2 times to get pregnant sometimes....Some people try for years and never have success...You need to track ur cycle and when you are ovulating then try for the baby

It can take up to a year to get pregnant- the odds of getting pregnant after only two tries are very low. You need to start tracking your cycles and identifying your fertile days if you want to increase your chances.

Some women get pregnant easy and some women take a long time. It took my husband and I a month to conceive. Sometimes it can be harder if you are over weight or if the man drinks alot. Which neither pertain to me or my husband but it still took a long time for us anyways.

Maybe you weren't ovulating at that time. Most women usually ovulate 14 days from the first day of her last period.

There is only a 25% chance you can get pregnant each time he finishes in you.

try having sex about 2 weeks or so after your period when your ovulating.. it takes some people longer than others.. dont think about it so much and it will happen =]
