Hi, I have tried everything, going to doctors with my husband, temp testing, certain diets, ovulation tests, and all, It's been about 3 years and my husband and i are getting tired... We're trying to get pregnant and it just doesn't seem to be working... I mean there's got to be a way, The doc sees no reason why we shouldn't be getting pregnant now, and Neither do we, and Yes, We ARE doing it right... Has anyone had this problem? We've decided to quit trying, but maybe before we do does anyone have any ideas for us? Please, anything would be awesome... Thanx

i have a similar case as you. we have been trying for 4 years now to have a baby but we just can't. it's so frustrating coz we tried and did what our doctors told us to od but we just can't have one. my doctor prescribed clomid to me and asked us to take vitamin e. my friend who was given the same medication got pregnant. =( another doctor told me that stress plays a huge factor. she suggested that we should take a vacation and free ourselves from stress. i haven't tried that one yet coz we're too busy with our business. maybe u should go try it first, then let me know if it worked for you. =)

Maybe when you stop trying so hard it will happen....relax. Enjoy each other. Stress also may be hindering as well so like said try to relax.

My friend did two sets of injections for invetro and nothing worked. She met someone during the 2nd set and when it didnt work, she decided to just let it go. She stopped doing fertility treatments and just gave up. I saw her the other day with her 15 month old son. It just took not stressing to get her pregnant. Good luck

My cousin had this problem andfinally her doctor said that some people for no good reason just can't have children He told her to adopt. They had no sooner decided and filled out the papers with the government and lo and behold they were pregnant. sometimes I think you just try too hard and your body shutsdown. look into adoption. There are thousands of unwanted kids out there in foster homes. why wste all taht love.

Don't stop trying... its just the matter of time. you both need to be relax and easy.. i suggest you both take a week holiday.. go to peacefull place, no phone, no p.c., no one to disturb you... just both of you. if you know Yoga its very good. Yoga can help you to relax and also there are few AASANA which help you to get pregnant.. i can assure you that if you try this your problem will solve. Good luck, take care

Have you guys had any infertility testing? We started with an HSG, basic bloodwork, and a sperm test. We immediately learned that my husband has severe male factor infertility. We have less than a 1% chance of having a baby on our own. We went through IVF and I am now 10 weeks pregnant. So in my case, we could have taken a vacation and relaxed forever without having a baby. My RE (reproductive endocrinologist)said that relaxing does not lead to pregnancy and stress does not prevent it. If you haven't been to an RE, I would suggest going. We started testing with my OBGYN but RE's specialize in getting you pregnant. Good luck to you!

If there is absolutely nothing wrong with either of you, then you should be able to become pregnant, its probably a matter of getting the timing absolutely right, which for some people can be quite difficult, there are test kits which you can buy from chemists in U.K. which show the exact day in your period that is most suitable. It may also be that you both need to be destressed out, and also spend a lot of time with each other just being together with no pressure on either of you, also remember that a very good contraceptive is frequency, which may reduce the sperm ratio in semen to below the 'fertile threshold' for up to several weeks

I'm sorry, I have no ideas. I'm also suffering from infertility issues. (Recurrent miscarriages with no known cause) I cannot go through another loss and have decided to give up. The only think I can suggest to you, which you may be doing already is to find a support group that will help you with the next step. Try googling Resolve+infertility
