View topic - Pregnancy questions

My partner and I have been trying for about two months, the first month we tried like every day twice a day and I ended up having my period. It made me pretty upset so we stopped having sex for a while but started up again in the middle of the month.... are there any fast ways to become pregnant? it's bad on my self esteem when I have my period ... It makes me feel almost like a failure - I don't know why-
I would like to know any tips that you would have.

Well you can keep track of your period. Look up ovulation online and based on your cycle it will tell you which days are the best days to try on. Also try not to stress too much over it, stress can actually make you miss periods. Just try and enjoy the experience of trying for one, and it will happen sooner or later.

Like Harlequin said, the best way to ensure you get pregnant is to figure out when your ovulation cycle is and have as much sex as possible during those days. If you're unsure about figuring it out for yourself, there's kits you can buy in the Family Planning section of your drugstore that work much the same as the pregnancy tests- you pee on them, and they will tell you if you are ovulating or not.

Other than that, there's not much else to do to hurry up the process. Drink lots of fluids, eat well, exercise, get your rest, and start taking prenatal vitamins now if you haven't already- it's a good idea to get a head start on things like folic acid.

I'm also going to add that you don't necessarily ovulate every month.

Words exist because of meaning. Once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him? ~Chuang Tzu

I actually have a period tracker on my phone which I think helps tell me when I ovulate. thank you guys for the help. I try to not stress too much over it.
thankyou again

Don't stress too much. It's not someone's fault.
Everyone gave great advice already. I think sperm still swims around inside you for at least 3 days so don't be worried if you can't do it everyday for whatever reason either.

keep track of your ovulation, they also have a device that tells you when your most likely to conceive.

Track your temperature--first thing in the morning, take your temp. Make a chart. When it spikes, it's a sign of ovulation. Even for healthy couples, it can take a while, so just try to chill out and enjoy the "trying" part.

You only ovulate once a month. Each time you ovulate you only have about a 25% chance of getting pregnant. So if you've only been trying for two months, that's practically nothing! You just started! You shouldn't be stressing about it yet. Fertility doctors generally won't even see you unless you have been trying for over a year with no success. And even then, it doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong with you, and it certainly doesn't mean you're a failure. Sometimes it just doesn't happen fast, and sometimes it doesn't happen at all without fertility treatment. My partner and I have been trying for two years with no luck. My cousin tried for five years before finally getting pregnant.

So be patient. Track your periods. Chart your temperature. Check your cervical mucus. Make sure you are up to date on pelvic exams. Make sure your doctor knows you are trying so that he or she can make sure you are health enough for pregnancy. Take your prenatal vitamins. A lot of people don't realize you need to take them before you get pregnant, not after you find out that you're pregnant. Have sex every two or three days. If you're having sex twice a day every day, that's actually too much. I know it seems like it would be better to have as much sex as possible, but you actually have a better chance of getting pregnant if the guy takes a couple of days to replenish. Sperm can live inside a woman's body for a few days anyway. And make sure you are doing your research. If you're this bummed about not being pregnant yet, if you are confused as to why it hasn't happened after only two months, and if you've been having sex twice a day every day, then that suggests to me that you're not doing your research. So make sure you look into this stuff. Learn about your cycle, learn about sperm, learn about why you need to take prenatal vitamins, learn about breastfeeding, etc. The more you understand this stuff, the more likely you will be to have a healthy baby.

It also probably wouldn't hurt to talk to a therapist. The therapist can make sure you are mentally and emotionally ready for pregnancy and parenthood. Because, no offense, but based on just that little bit that you wrote it kind of sounds like something you're jumping into this without much knowledge. And if you're feeling like a failure and like your self esteem is being hurt just because it didn't happen immediately, that doesn't really seem healthy to me.

Don't feel like a failure.
There could be a chance you can't have babies. The best bet would be go to see your doctor and let them know that you and your spouse are trying to have a baby. Your doctor can run tests and help you through the process. Me and my Boyfriend have been trying for a year :) It takes some time.

Have you two gone to a doctor and asked them? Maybe they can do some tests or something.

Don't force it. That's a common problem when trying to concieve. It's not going to happen because you do it twice a day every day, it's going to happen because you're ready to go and you have sex some time close. Sperm can remain viable for as long as 36 hours. So close works.

If you're being this impatient with it now the only thing you're going to do is stress yourself out. And that's not going to do anything but make it harder to concieve. Let it go, just a little bit, and you'll find yourself pregnant soon enough.

Also, I would like to add a tidbit I learned doing the reproductive system in class last year. It's a little graphic, so click the spoiler.

  • Show Spoiler
  • When a woman orgasms, her cervix opens and "suctions" slightly with the pulsating of the orgasm, as the kegel muscles contract to help pull the penis in farther. If it all possible for you two, and especially if you know you're ovulating, timing your orgasm so that it happens for you WHILE or IMMEDIATELY after it happens for him will give you the best chance of getting those little suckers up in there. Just a heads up.

Stress can actually prevent pregnancy. If you don't think about pregnancy while being intimate and don't stress out about it, you're more likely to succeed.

Keep in mind that I know nothing about you an am NOT going to ask you to display your current body weight, but instead I shall link you this article.

Apparently what you weigh can affect your chances of getting pregnant.

While I am nowhere near ready to have kids myself, I think i ought to start dieting so when the time comes that I finally meet "Mr. Good enough" I've done my part in getting ready.
