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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
