Help, Baby Blues!

My partner and I are trying for a baby, we have been having unprotected sex for 10 months with a 5 week gap in the middle when I was away with work..so therefore almost 9 months of trying! I have not got pregnant yet! Is this normal? I heard that each time you have unprotected sex there is an 85% chance of becoming pregnant, we usually have sex with my partner ejaculating in me around 7-10 times a week…this is quite a lot in my opinion and so i cant understand why i haven’t become pregnant yet! My boyfriend has a child with a previous partner so I know it’s not a problem with him! I havent said anything to anyone as I dont want to sound silly but it’s really starting to worry me.. every month when my period comes around i feel like crying when it comes! I mean how long should I expect to be trying? Is there a time when I should think it’s been too long and consult a doctor? I want a family and the thought of not being able to have one is tearing me up! I also knwo how much having a family means to my boyfriend. Any advice would be gratefull appreciated as I cannot seem to get the subject out of my head

Answer #1

Trying to get pregnant can be pretty hard work! First, lots of women have a hard time getting pregnant so please do not dispair! There are multiple reasons why you might not have gotten pregnant yet. I found this website that might give you some extra information about how to get pregnant: http://www.gettingpregnant.co.uk/improvingyourchances.htm Try to have fun and not get to stressed since this also can effect your ovulation and chances. If you haven’t gotten pregnant after a year of trying you might also want to consult a doctor on ways to get pregnant and tests you can do. I’ve heard that a lot of people just don’t go about the right way of doing it (ex.:having sex during ovulation) and the pressure of wanting to get pregnant can affect their chances. One good reason to talk about it with a friend or family, you’ll be surprised at the tricks and helpful advice that other women can offer! Also, talking about it with your partner can also help take the stress down a notch and not make you feel so sad every month.
