Tryin to get pregnant at age 26

**Heres Hoping** · 02-26-2009 01:24 PM

OK so Im new to this site but feel alone about tryin to get pregnant and the hard ships that go along with it, so Im looking for answers. Im 26 and my husband and I are tryin to have a baby I have a 7year old from when I was younger I got pregnant on the first try but now it seems to be harder and I cant fig out why. Both of us are healthy I just came off the pill about 5 months ago and my cycles have been off from 30-35 days my doctor thinks thats due to stress more then anything. I'm just feeling fustrated and alone cause I feel like everyone is gettin pregnant so why cant I? I can't fig it out Im at a good age and in good shape so why do I keep gettin that evil monthly visit from af? I just wanted to vent and see if anyone is in or have been in my situation before?

Welcome to the Forum.

Your body was young and as a youth, pregnancy can occur, immediately but you then went on the pill for some years and have only been off of it for 5 months, sometimes our bodies can adjust to no more medication in our system quickly other times it takes time...

Stress, certainly creates all sorts of problems in our lives and so you have to quit worrying about getting pregnant and instead look forward to it, because it will happen and tell yourself, I am going to get pregnant and laugh.... Keep saying it to yourself and relieve Also some of the other stresses in your life. It will happen.

It's only been 5 months. I think the standard for infertility diagnosis is one year of unprotected sex and no pregnancy. Give it a little more time and try to time the intercourse to match up with right around the time of ovulation.

If after a few more months nothing, then a full fertility work-up for you and your husband would be good.

I had to go through fertility treatments to get pregnant, but I was much much older than you.

Hey hun, sorry to hear you have been a bit down about this! Dont worry though, you asked if anybody has ever been through this before and the answer is definately yes! A lot of women, of all ages and backgrounds struggle to concieve, it can take time! And yes your doctor is right, stress will not be helping the issue at all! You really do need to try and relax, and understand that whilst you got pregnant first time last time, that is actually quite rare. you've been trying for 5 months now, which isnt really that long, i promise! There are a lot of women in your boat here Trying to conceive - Pregnancy, Baby, Parenting - Forum - Bounty perhaps it may help to chat with others who are having the same experiences as you, and share tips and so on? Maybe there is a local support group in your area too? - perhaps ask the doctor about that, remember you are not alone and this is not something you have to go through on your own. Best of luck to you hunnybun, Ive got all my fingers and toes crossed for you and am sending some babydust your way now! xxxx

Thank U so much for all the replys it made me feel a lot better knowing others cared enough to reply and make me not feel so alone. I did laugh too when I read about telling my self I will get pregnant which is good cause I need postive words that work so to speak. As for the gender question here is what I know. Boy sprem swim fast but don't live long and girl sperm swim slow but live longer so if you want a boy BD the day before you ovluate and the day of. If you want a girl BD 2 days before cause sperm can live for 2 to 5 days from what I have read but I would check on there life span just to be sure. Good luck to you all and thank you again for your words of encouragement.
