Hoping to Become Pregnant

Everyone says to just stay relaxed and not stress but I'm having trouble doing that. We were off the pill for 3mths earlier this year and nothing came of it, so I got back on when my husband got some disturbing news about his health. This time around we've been off the pill sense September and still nothing.
I've also read a LOT of contraversial material about starting and stopping the pill so I don't know what to think.
Any advice could help at this point!!

I hate to say it, but you need to be patient. I was off the pill for 6 years before I got pregnant. Sometimes your body just needs more time to re-adjust and get back on schedule.

Has your DH had his sperm checked? I would have that done right away so you can rule out a male factor. We waited 2 years before doing that and we found out he had major problems. That could have saved us a lot of time if we knew that at the beginning.

Baby dust to you!!

It can take your body several months to ovulate and regulate after the pill. I know it's hard, but be patient. I'd give it 6 months, and if you're still not pregnant, pay your dr. a visit. I'm not sure your dr. would do anything before then, but you could always check before 6 months if you're really anxious! Good luck!

I've heard that a good amount of time to try before going to the dr is a year. I can't imagine waiting that long though! 3 months is hardly enough time for your body to get back into its regular cycle, so I wouldn't start worrying yet.

i've also heard that starting to take your prenatals and eating healthy now is important, so start that if you haven't already. It helps your body prepare for pregnancy, and might help with fertility.

Good luck!!!

It wouldn't hurt to go ahead and do a preconception visit with your ob/gyn. They will run all blood tests, check to make sure you're ovulating, etc. My dr. suggested it as soon as we started trying to conceive and that's how he caught that I wasn't ovulating. Good luck!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
