TTC#1 2009 Baby, Maybe

Guest
right days? I really do not understand this. Myself included and many other ladies on here track their ovulation and baby dance like crazy to try and get pregnant to no avail. Then Aunt Flo rears her ugly head 2 weeks later. If there are millions of sperm and only one egg to find (maybe 2 or more) then why can't they do their job? GRr
I forgot sperm are blind...lol...I don't think I ever actually thought about it. Thanx
 
Its so frustrating isn't it!! Its been two years and I don't still don't know the answer to this question. I like the blame the sperm they don't know where they are going nor stop and ask for directions :( Good luck to you!!
 
I know what you mean lol.
It just depends on how your body is, every woman's body is different.
Some healthy couples can take up to a year to conceive, also alot of woman put too much effort it, and its not till they give up trying, they actually fall pregnant, because its not on their mind as much.

My 1st pregnancy was unplanned and was a shock, it happened within 3 months of me and my partner having unprotected sex, but sadly ended in stillborn last month, and now because i want a baby i know it will take me longer to conceive because its on my mind alot lol.

Good luck every, baby dust to all xx
 
Because there are other factors involved in getting pregnant.

When you have sex, only a tiny percentage of the sperm will make it past your cervix. They then have to swim (completely blind) through the uterus and into the tubes. Statiscally, half of them will swim into the WRONG tube. The few that make it into the RIGHT then have to swim (still completely blind) and hope that one blunders into the egg. THEN, if one DOES find the egg, and penetrates it, that egg then has to journey down the tube, make it into the uterus, and hope that the uterine lining is suitable for it to implant. (Probably half to 2/3rds of all fertilized eggs don't implant.)

Frustrating I know -- but just try to accept that you CAN'T control everything. If both of you are fertile, you WILL get pregnant. If not this month, then maybe next month, or the month after.
 
cos the harder you try the more you stress and the more sex becomes a job and not enjoyable.... i didn't believe anyone when they said it to me, was ttc for a yr. then one particular month we were trying not to fall preg didn't have sex when i thought i was ovulating all cos we are getting married in sept and i didn't want to be preg or due or just had bub around that time. and what do you know i found out on my bday i was preg... of course i was over the moon about it. worked out my due date.. lol 10 day b4 my wedding.... not everything goes to plan. when they are ready to come they will come, good luck...
 
i know...its SO frustrating. yet, no matter where I go there is some 15 year old showing off her pregnant belly. I was in the waiting room a couple of days ago to see my fertility doctor and there was a girl sitting across from me who is 17 weeks with twins and refuses to stop smoking, wont stop drinking, and doesn't think she needs to eat correctly. I dont understand it.... why can people like that get pregnant so easily, but those of us who really really want children and will do anything it takes to have a baby are the ones that have to endure things like waiting months (even years! we have been trying for 3 years!) to even start getting the care we need. I just found out that I am going to have to go through IUI.... yet my neighbor gets pregnant just about every time she has sex (and shes only kept one of them!)


* the worst thing someone can say to a couple that has been trying to conceive for a long time is to relax. Seriously.
 
just have sex very very often and dont stress, thats how we got pregnant =]]
