I am 20 years old and my husband and I have been trying to have a baby for the last two years. It seems like everyone is getting pregnant and having children except for us.

We tried fertility pills, The Billings Ovulation Method of Natural Family Planning, different positions that are supposed to help conceive but nothing works. Is there something wrong with us? If you know of anything else we could try that have help other people that have had problems conceiving, we would be forever grateful!

The best bet is for you to go to the doctor and have an exam/testing done, for both you and your hubby. It could be something wrong (blocked tubes, endometriosis, low sperm count, etc) or it could be you just need some extra help, with clomid, or other fertility treatments, or maybe it just hasn't happened yet. Were you on any form of birth control before you and your hubby started trying to conceive? Some forms of birth control take an extended amount of time to get fully out of your body. (the depo shot for example can take up to 18 months before the effects are fully gone) it takes most healthy couples 12 months to conceive naturally. However, after one year has passed, it is suggested that you see a doctor with your concerns.
