I didn't know where to put this, but it's causing me and my bf a lot of grief. We've been trying for 6 months or more to get pregnant, and nothing is happening. I'm 27 and he's 31. I'm worried that I'll never be able to conceive a child. We want children so badly. I'm so scared that I'm not able to have children.

I've never had protected sex much, I'm very healthy, with no diseases, and have never gotten pregnant. So why all this trouble. I'm starting to think that I can't have children at all.

This depresses me and I know I'll have to end up going to a doc for this...

Hon been there done this. Its not easy. And well I am sorry to say that things didnt turn out positive for me either.

Alot of people say that you need to relax more. Its hard to do when you want a child so badly. I had to take infertility treatments . Clomid and HCG shots. Not fun. Talk about mood swings.I didnt know if I was going to be laughing or crying one minute to the next. I got pregnant 6 times and had miscarraiges all before 4and1/2 mo. I gave up on trying after that. It got to heartbreaking. For some reason unbenknownst to me , it wasnt meant to be . I am 37 now, and I had to have a hysterectomy done 5 yrs sgo. It wasnt an easy decision. My problem was that I had dysfunctional uterine bleeding.

Dont give up Lex. AND as long as both of you want children if it doesnt happen naturally, you can adopt. I would have gone for that option, but my husband is 9 yrs older than me and it wasnt in his book of priorities. I wish you luck hon. I am here for ya if you need to vent or talk . Just pm me. Take care and dont give up! Besides Practicing is always fun eh? LOL Fertility Problems

Honey . . . do not despair! Worrying and stressing doesn't help conceive babies. My hubby and I were trying for alomst 2 years. I'm now pregnant (17 weeks) Fertility Problems

From what I understand . . . the most fertile days start about 7 days after the end of your period, start trying then. Sperm can last 3-7 days so, make sure you try every 3 or so days (between day 7 and day 21 of your cycle).
