    I am in the same boat as you.I already have a child of 6 years and are married for 3 months. I have been trying for a year now to get pregnant. I did struggle with bladder infections and ghlumidea. i Have never been on contraceptions excepts condoms, but for the last year i have never use condoms and just cannot get pregnant. If there is someone who can help me please do. I'll take any help i can get.

    Have either one of you went to the doctor? There's probably nothing too extremely wrong. Whatever is causing the complication, more than likely, it can be eradicated easily. Did you know that a very high percentage of couples have problems conceiving (more than 60%). I know it doesn't seem that way; especially not when you are trying so hard and noticing babies left and right, but it's true. Many times, the problem lies in something as simple as wrong timing, using the wrong lubrications (many over the counter lubes and even saliva hinder sperm motility. The only proven lube to work with and not against sperm is called Pre-Seed), hostile cervical mucus, imbalance of hormones, stress, improper diets, etc. Those issues are easy to fix, once you know that they are the problems. Prior to trying to conceive, it's a good idea to get a check up and express your wishes and any other concerns with your doctor/gyn. He might suggest an exercise routine, dieting, Robitussin (Guaifenesin 100mg or more twice a day, five days prior to ovulation to thin your cervical mucus.), Fertility blend (Vitex-to help regulate you and balance your hormones), Clomid, etc.

    Either way, don’t give up or don't stress too-too much about it, just be about the solution and/or the plan B.

    Good Luck!

    I'm 33yrs old & had been trying for about 17yrs finally after all this time of trying i had a dr finally want to try the exploratory surgery i've never had pain w/my periods or any pregnancies but endometriosis had became apart of my neices lives at an early age all of my neices so it took 17yrs for a dr to take interest & found i had endometriosis & that my ovary, fallopian tube & colon were intwind in each other & stuck to my uterus & that i had endometriosis. So now i'm recoverying from surgery & now may have a chance to conceive & i'm very excited so keep the faith & don't give up

    Hello I am new to this forum but and I love the text reminders I get!

    I have a five year old little boy Dawson and I am remarried for over a year! I recently had a surgery in which I had a very very large tumor removed and reconstructive surgery on my cervix. I typically have always had regular periods that may be off by a day or two. However since my surgery I only bleed for two or three days and spot 5. I have been ttc for about 6 months with no luck. Since I have had my surgery my cervical mucas is very little and sometimes none at all. So I bought into the opk's. We shall see! I will say that I am a bit confused because this month I have had my lh surge for at least three to four days. Typically it is only 1-2 days. Any advice?
