Trying To Conceive Support Group
Whether you are just beginning your journey to create your family, or you have been trying for a few months, the TTC community will provide you with a group of like minded people who can help. It takes up to a year for the average fertile couple to achieve a successful pregnancy, and here at DailyStrength you will find information and support while you are waiting for...
We are giving it one more month then we are going to the Dr.
I am so scared something is wring though.
Did you know that even with perfect timing, healthy sperm and egg, healthy body etc there is only a 20% chance of successful conception? Humans have one of the lowest conception rates among animals (according to my OBGYN).
See your doctor get yourself checked for general health and for thyroid issues especially (an over or under active thyroid mades it extremly difficult to get pregnant).
If you have been given a general once over and you come back clear you may want to talk to your partner about having a seminanalysis. The only reason that i suggest this over you having a more detailed analysis is that it is much much easier for them me and totall non-invasive. For women it is much harder.
To be honnest, for me personally, the one thing I found that helped was to relax (easier said than done i know!). I was forced into bed rest for 2 weeks and then had one more week of doing virtually nothing after that... while my partner and i had been trying before i was injured, during that rest time frame i though nothing of pregnancy, babies etc. My boday was forced to sleep, eat healthy and chill. and volia! im now what my younger sister calls 'an easy bake oven'.
One last note. It takes the average couple 12 months to get pregnant, with perfect conditions, and while that time frame may seem long please remember its only 12-13 trys at getting knocked up, its not a whole lot.
I wish you all the best for you and your future family.
The other question is yes could it possibly be your husband? Possibly.
Since you've been pregnant before you must have at least one tube open. Your husband could have a low sperm count and still have gotten you pregnant.
If you've been ovulating every month and have been charting and timing intercourse appropirately for more than 4months you need to make an appt. with your doctor to see what's going on.
A semen analysis is roughly $200-250 depending on your insurance and where you go.
A HSG (test to see if your tubes are open) is around $1300 depending where you go.
Risk factors for blocked tubes are if you've had STD(s), pelvic inflammitory disase, previous pelvic surgery and prev. pregnancies.
Also factor in stress and travel in the months of trying- this affects everything too.
Good luck! I hope you get your baby soon.
