Age Spots Cause

Question by Sarah: What could be the cause of me not getting pregnant?
I am young, 20 years old, and I am married. But I feel healthy and have normal periods and ovulate normal, with lots of egwcm. I am a little overweight but, i don’t think that could be the cause of it. I have been losing weight to see if it would help. But I have been trying for 1 year and a month, with no success. We tried using pre seed this month, I have heard lots of good stories with that. and I know it is just to help the environment for the little swimmers, but I thought just maybe. Anyways, so I started my normal spotting that I get, it always starts the sunday before AF shows up, and it’s there again so I know that means no success. I know I am young and have plenty of time, but I am financialy and emotionaly ready, and my husband is to. I don’t want to go to the doctor yet, I just think they won’t do anything because of my age. What can be causing me not to get pregnant?

Usually a woman who is young and healthy should be pregnant within the first 12 months of trying to conceive. If you haven’t conceived yet, even with the help of over-the-counter things like Pre-seed, you could be having some sort of fertility problems. It might not even be you, perhaps your husband has a low sperm count or something. While you are young, I see no reason why a professional would not be willing to speak to you or help you out with possible fertility treatments since you are married and say you are financially stable.

Really, there is no way to determine exactly what could be going on inside of you or your husband over the Internet. I would recommend talking to a doctor, but if you feel uncomfortable doing so yet, my best advice is to just keep trying until you feel ready to speak to a professional (or until you get pregnant!).

Best of luck to you!

    It can take a while to get pregnant even if you are young and healthy. On average a couple only has about a 20% chance each month of achieving pregnancy. As the time you are trying increases the chances increase but after a year it is a little weird that it hasn’t happened yet. You may want to do a procedure called a HSG or histrospingogram. It is an ex-ray that uses dye to check to see if your tubes are open. Anyway a doc will not turn you down because you are young. You have been trying for over a year so they will want to help. There are several other things they can test for and look at so don’t feel weird like you don’t have the right. Best of Luck!

    Of course, there could be lots of different reasons why you’re not getting pregnant, (and I’m no doctor) but there are some basic things you can try before you call in for reinforcements. I’m speaking from personal experience here and got pregnant twice using these methods (and have two great boys).

    Have your OB/GYN prescribe Clomid and take as directed each month. This is a drug that will help you ovulate. At the same time, take OTC cough medicine with only the ingredient Guiffanisen or Mucinex which will help you provide a more welcome environment for the sperm to reach the egg.

    Test your ovulation days with Ovulation Predictor Kits and have intercourse the day you see the line on the stick and the next day too.

    Try to stay relaxed and enjoy yourselves in the process! I know that’s easier said than done… Good Luck!

    Our bodies are all connected to our minds and our minds can greatly influence our success when it comes to wanting to get pregnant. Stop focusing on the days of the month and start focusing on you. Take a vacation with your husband. Go out dancing. Make plans to start a project around the house…anything to get your mind off baby. I have 2 friends who tried for years to get pregnant. They took their temperatures every day, had a big heart on the calendar when the best times to have sex were during the month….whatever they could do to conceive. It consumed their thoughts, their time and their lives. Eventually one gave up and started planning a trip to Cuba. She went shopping, booked her flight…and she was thrilled to be going away..hence she wasn’t thinking about baby baby baby everyday. Anyway she conceived in Cuba and came back pregnant. The other started a major house reno on her kitchen and was so consumed by that, she stopped counting days and didn’t have time to think about getting pregnant and she did end up pregnant…just goes to say..don’t think about it so much. Focus on something else. (I know it’s hard, I’ve been there) The baby will come when you are ready. Just enjoy married life and enjoy your husband because when baby makes 3 you won’t have time to enjoy each other so much anymore. Good luck and baby will come eventually!
