First of all, all women do ovulate.  Unless of course u do have an endo problem.  ever heard of Ovary tests?  Go to your drugstore and ask, there are many different ones.  But the one i know is one that u just pee on.  It will tell u when you are ovulating.  Ovulation usually occurs within 1 and a half - 2 week cycle after menstruation.  Also get your partner to have a sperm count done just incase he is shooting blanks.

I would go see a gynecologist. In the beginning, periods can be irregular while your body gets used to ovulating. There is something that your GYN will probably test for called PCOS. Polycystic ovary syndrome. Basically this means that your body isn't ovulating at all, or at very irregular intervals. If you aren't ovulating at all, your uterus prepares for an egg, and keeps waiting until it is "full" and then you'll appear to have a period when it is tired of waiting for an egg to show up. Birth control pills will regulate and lighten your cycle. If you're not interested in birth control, your GYN will probably recommend that you have at least 4 periods a year and will prescribe hormones to induce a period every now and then. If you don't shed the endometrial lining every now and then, you'll increase your risk for things like cancer. If it is PCOS, you'll need to talk to fertility specialists to induce ovulation if you're interested in making babies. Of course . . . . this is just one thing that your problem could be caused by. I'm not a physician, and don't know your health status, so go to the GYN to get it checked out.

well, there could have been a compatibility problem; you were probably hostile to his sperms.well, it could be that only his sperms have a problem with your ovary.You could try other sperms;)..\nhere is a story that could probably help your spirits! My grandmom had a cousin who did not even menstruate after the first time.So, after she got married, she went to the doc and got an injection and got pregnant..twice.she lived till 75+.Her children have survived and have had children of their own .This was about more than 60 years ago! with today's medical advances, what cannot be achieved?!If she could get pregnant without even menstruating, why can't you!!!!!!!You just need the right medical advice.\nThere are test-tube babies, adoption and many more other options today.If a man leaves you because you couldn't get pregnant, he is not worth staying with!

If you haven't been having irregular periods and if you are a healthy lady, I don't see a problem. Maybe it is the guy. Don't be worried. Check in with a doctor. I have seen some patients come in and are put on birth control for a couple months to help them have babies. Therefore, the doctor may diagnosis your symptoms. However, I hope there is a real psychic out here who would be able to help you.  But they would really have to say more about you to know that they are real. Hang in there. Even at 35 babies are still healthy and possible. Take care and try not to stress over it to much your time will come when god chooses the right child for you. I hope my comment help in some way.

With irregular cycles such as yours it becomes hard to predict ovulation. You can try using ovulation test kits..however that could become expensive for those long cycles.\n\nYou might want to consider trying a saliva ovulation microscope. They are reusable and for around $20.00, well worth the money. I've included a link on how to use them as well as a link for a good, inexpensive one

I'm having the same problem as you are - I'm 22 and my boyfriend is 29.  We've been trying for around 2 years as well.  I went to a doctor about it and after some ultrasounds, etc. I found out that even though I ovulate normally, the eggs never become mature enough to be fertilized.  I was told that was fertility drugs, I'll probably be able to conceive.  You could have something similar.  Have you ever been tested for endometriosis?  Infertility can be a sign as well as severe pain and heavy flow during your periods.  Although not all people have the same symptoms.  When you are financially able, I'd go see a doctor about your problem to find out whats going on.

Usually after a year of trying warrants a visit to the doctor for both you and your partner to get checked out to make sure everything is ok physically.  One thing you can do is track your cycles which can determine when your most fertile time is. Ovulation usually occurs somewhere around the middle of your cycle. Once ejaculated, sperm live for up to 72 hours while the egg is only viable for 24 hours once released from the ovary. There are a few different ways to track your cycles. Drug stores carry ovulation tests which will tell you when you are ovulating. You can also purchase a basal thermometer, which will show a spike in temperature when you are ovulating. You can also keep track of your cervical mucus, which will become clear and stringy when you are ovulating. Some women also use an ovulation microscope that shows ferning when you are ovulating. You can also use a combination of these methods, in addition to using software that will not only keep track of your cycles, but also tell you when the optimum time is. I recommend femta at www.femta.com and ovusoft at www.ovusoft.com These are my two favorites and ones I recommend to clients. And most important relax and try to be as stress free as possible. Stress can be a big factor in having problems.

Most people usually are pregnant within six months, a good portion more by the end of the first year.  No need to worry yet.  It may be more difficult to get pregnant because your periods are irregular, so predicting ovaulation can be hard. There are ways you can detect it, though.  You can start by taking your temp every morning when you first get up.  About 10 days after your last period started, you should begin to ovulate.  When this happens your basal temp will be slightly elevated.\nThere are dietary changes you can make as well to increase your chances of becoming pregnant.  FIrst and foremost, make sure you are taking a prenatal vitmain if you aren't already.  Decrease your sugar intake.  Excess sugar has been linked to fertility difficulties.  Eating foods high in zinc have been linked to reproductive health as well.\nI wish you lots of luck and hope there is a baby in your near future!!

It all depends on if you are ovulating or not- it is very possible to ovulate and not have a period, but you really need to see a doctor to determine if you are or not.  Have you seen or doctor as to why you only get a period every six months?  This would be the first thing to do.  After that has been determined, then you can try.  Usually trying over a year warrants both you and your partner to get checked out, and possibly a referral to a fertility specialist.

I am 34 and I have pcos I have 3 children and I did not seek a dr for help.I just kept a really good calender of my periods,when I started,how long it lasted and I kept record of my temperature,I took my temp every morning before getting out of bed,before you ovulate you will notice a change in temp,It took me almost a year to get pregnant with my 2nd child and it took me 3 months with my last.don't give up,you are still young just keep a good record and if you should have to go see a fertility dr take your records with you but I would at least keep a record for 3 months to develope a pattern and allow at least 8 months of trying to become pregnant before seeking help.\nHope this helps you and I wish you Luck.

yes especially if you have not sought treatment for it... you need to see you M.D. or talk to your OB/GYN ... I suffered for a year before I got help...

Check out a book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility. I'm pretty sure that's the title. It helps you read the signs so you know when you ovulate and helps you decide the best time for intercourse. \n\nThere's also a book called The Fastest Way To Get Pregnant Naturally.\n\nIf you've been trying for more than a year, you may want to see a specialist to rule out any fertility problems.\n\nAnd in answer to the lady's question below: 5 children is NOT enough! I have 7. :-)

I don't know what kind of feedback you are looking for, but I have PCOS.  I suffered with it for many years and finally went to an Endocrinologist to seek some kind of treatment.  There is no cure, but it can be managed.  If pregnancy is your goal, an endocrinologist or infertility specialist can help also.  My endocrinologist also diagnosed and treated some other things that were unrelated to PCOS, that greatly improved my quality of life.  I hope this is helpful to you.

Buy an ovulating kit. It works. There are basically only 72 hours a months where you have a really good chance at getting pregnant. Make sure you guys are ready to get busy!

You may not be ovulating or you aren't ovulating when you think.  Try an ovulation predictor kit.\n\nAre you taking any herbs or other OTC drugs?  Some of those can harden the uterine lining and prevent implantation of the fertilized egg.
