First of all, quit trying so hard, that may very well be part of the problem. My hubby and I were married 5 years before we had out 1st child, the Dr. said when I quit my job, my stress level went way down, two weeks later I was pregnant. (I'm not suggesting that you quit your job, I was working 2 jobs and going to school).\nJust try every chance you get, it will happen when it is time. Take Care and GOOD LUCK!

1 wk after her period would be pretty safe. A woman usally ovulates 14 days after the first day of her last period.

The average period last 21days...Only three of those days are you ovulating.  Start counting days when you actually start your period...(the everage last 5days or so) But typically approximately 13 days after you start your period you wil ovulate.  Give yourself 3 or 4 days away from sexual intercourse during this time or use more preventative measures...ie condoms.  Then approxiamelty two weeks from the start of your ovulation period you should start your period....It also helps to take you temperature on a daily basis for the first month (providing your not sick)...do it first thing in the morning before you do anything stressful...you will note that the days you are ovulating your temperature will go up slightly.\n\nIf this is to complicated purchase an ovulation kit...that might be good for you to start with.\n\nGood luck

Abstinence for one thing.. Rhythm method is supposed to be a good way according to my Professors here at college. The rhythm method is timing your cycles so that you are aware exactly of the days you are able to conceive.. Those are the days, of course you wouldn't be having sex. It is about 14 days or 2 wks after your last period.. be absolutely sure that you don't have sex at the time. I would actually suggest 12 days after your period up to the 21 day mark. You will be more than happy with this type of rhythm. You can stay sex free for 9 days out of the month!! It works. Here is a site from Webmd.. about it.

the most fertilized time for a normal woman is on the 14th day of her period..or in other words..14 days from her first period day..and it lasts for about 3 days..then your chances of getting pregnant is low again..till your next period ofcourse!!~\n\n^_^

Every woman is different.  The norm however is 2-7 days.  But it can be longer w/ extenuating circumstances.

I am 5 months pregnant.. My wife and I chose a childhood friend that we knew would respect our wishes.. Plus how many men (being honest now) would turn down a chance to have 2 women for a week with all for his needs cartered to.. NOT MANY!! I know three other couples at this time that are either pregnent or trying to conceive.

Good Lord No way!!!!  My poor hubby works 12 hour days as well as Saturdays.  He comes home so tired and worn out but he still makes time for me and our son.  Sundays he spends mowing lawns, and weeding, and working on our vehicles.  My poor man goes thru torture every day just so I can be a stay at home mom!  If I did switch places it would be so he could stay home for a day and relax on the couch watching Dr.Phil!!!!  He deserves it!  I would not want to have his day!!!!

It depends on your cycle (how many days..TOTAL, there are including your period days, a month).  If your periods are regular every month without fail and your cycle is 30 days (period around the 14th day, out of 30 days), or your cycle is 50 days (a period around the 25th day of every couple of months)....you are most fertile a couple of weeks (14 days to be exact) before your period.  But if your period is irregular, then when you're most fertile will be hard to tell.  My suggestion, whether you want to be pregnant or not, is to buy some ovulation tests over the counter and see when you're ovulating....that will definitely tell you when you're most fertile.  Good luck :)!!

Nope you can still get pregnant.  All those lovely little sperm need is a nice place to hang out until you ovulate or they find an egg, they can last/live up to 72 hours. It happens.  Not a great form of protection.  Better than none at all but...

Not a very reliable one for the first thing. A woman ovulates between the 13-17 day after the first day your period starts. Add on a couple of days before and after to be sure and those are the days for the average woman that has a 28 day cycle. So avoid the 10-19 days after the first day of your period. If your cycle is longer, and you go more than 28 days between your periods you will be playing Russian Roulette. I worked in a Catholic Hospital as a Labor & Delivery nurse for 7 years. This was the only form of contraception taught at the hospital. Have you noticed how many children some of the older Catholics have? LOTS.\n\nSafe sex is making sure your male partner wears a condom. Add a spermacidal jelly and calendar sex becomes a "little safer." I strongly suggest that if you are using or thinking of using this form of contraception that you think again. You  chances of becoming pregnant are great. Please look into the "pill." It is the most reliable. Or,  abstinence is even better if you are not married. Go to Planned Parenthood or see a OB-GYN physician to evaluate your options for contraception.

Hallie D,\n\nMost likely nothing! Generally you are not considered to have a problem with fertility unless you have been trying for a year because normal couples can take that long to get pregnant.  Note that in any one cycle, the most fertile couple have a 1 in 3 chance of pregnancy so you need to go on for a while sometimes. I know a couple who had nothing wrong with them but had their first child after 4 years of trying. 2 months is definitely too short and 6 months is not the end of the world if you are normal.\nThings that can affect fertilty include diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome - (you tend to be a very hairy female if you have this) problems with egg production/release (Ovulation), low or abnormal sperm production by the male partner, hormonal problems, problems with the uterus such as fibroids or abnormal structure. There are many more causes but your doctors should be able to help.\n\nIt also helps to know which days you are most likely to conceivee. This depends on the length of your cycle etc but I have found a website to save you the calculation. It may be worthwhile recalculating every month than just taking all the dates they give you though. It will also help if your partner abstains from sex a few days before the fertile periods indicated to boost his sperm count.\nhttp://www.ivillage.co.uk/pregnancyandbaby/tools/ovucal\n\nSome other thinks that can impair fertility are drugs so if you are on regular medication for anything, see your doctor and check. Alcohol, drugs and ssmoking lower sperm counts and fertility so if they are your habits, well, you know hwat to do.\n\nFinally, you haven't tried for long enough to establish there is a problem, so don't worry. Too much anxiety and stress can also affect your fertility. Some women stop having their periods under stress!\n\nAll the best and good luck. I hope to hear one day that your cute little baby has finally arrived in his/her own time.
