I have been trying to get pregnant for the past 7 months, I wait for the time of my evolution to have sex, after 5 days the sperms will come out, after few days I go to my period the doctor told my husband and not to have sex everyday to give the sperms a
Chance to move around but nothing is happening. Sometimes I will experience morning sickness, like dizziness, sleeping a lot, constipated. Sometimes the following day after
Intercourse I would feel my womb moving around, yet the doctor says
There is nothing wrong with me, what shall I do to improve my chances
Of getting pregnant.

It sounds to me like you are VERY stressed about becoming pregnant. If you do get pregnant, you won't feel any movement in your belly until At least 3 months pregnant. The baby is just far too small before that. Most cases you won't feel movement until 4-6 months. Anything before that is just a fluttering. 7 months is not an incredibly long time to be trying to conceive. It takes most healthy couples at least a year to conceive naturally. It also depends on what kind, if any, of birth control you were on before trying to conceive. For example, if you were on the depo shot before trying to conceive, they tell you it can take up to 18 months to conceive, before you need to become concerned. The doctor is right that you should not have sex every day, as waiting for every other day gives the sperm a chance to build up enough to make a difference. If you do it too often, it depletes the sperm amounts, and makes intercourse less effective for purposes of conceiving. How are you timing ovulation? Are you using basal body temping(Ovulation Calendar and Ovulation Chart - FertilityFriend.com (http://www.fertilityfriend.com)) and ovulation predictor kits? If not these will help you better pinpoint time of ovulation. I want to add that even if you are doing everything perfectly by the book, conception can still be evasive for you, if only for the reason that you are stressing. Stress can be a huge piece of not being able to conceive. So try to relax, try to just let things flow. So many women try for years to conceive and the moment they stop trying, they fall pregnant. Its worth a try.

I just recently found out that I am pregnant after 6 months of trying. It can be very stressful, I know. When I found out I'm pregnant I was elated. My husband and I were having sex when I was supposed to be ovulating, and for the remainder of the month we would continue to have sex normally. I went for my first ultrasound at 7 weeks 4 days. The growth showed that the baby was only 5 weeks 4 days, therefor I ovulated and got pregnant about a day before I was supposed to get my period. Just try to relax about it, trust in God, and enjoy yourself. It will happen when it is supposed to happen. I hope all the best of luck for you and yours.

Its worth a try. On my next period my flow was not normal as usual, I had to use a panty liner instead of a pad, its just drops that are coming out and it has been going on for 7 days, do you think I should go and see the doctor or there is nothing to worry about, could this also mean that I have conceived . And there is no need for me to change the panty liner as I can wear it the whole day.
Your answer will be appreciated.

If it is this light, I would definitely say that it COULD be early pregnancy bleeding. However it could just be an off period this time around. You said you are four days late? Have you taken a test yet?

Have you taken a test yet? You know I've been trying to get pregnant for so long; I don't want to take a test as I'm afraid that it could be a false alarm and I get disappointed all over again, I went to see a nurse at the clinic yesterday she told me if the bleeding does not stop I should come after 7 days, if it is an early bleeding pregnancy how long the bleeding should take because I haven't stop yet and its now 9 days.

Every body is different. You should go back to the clinic and talk to the nurse. I completely understand your fear. I felt like I had been trying for so long, and didn't want to get my hopes up yet again. I convinced myself that the test was going to come back negative and that I would have to ask my doctor to help get my cylce started back up again. Low and behold I was pregnant! Try not to worry, and make sure you get to the doctor!

My husband and I have been trying for almost eight months and can I say its stressful? Lol There has been many times that I would think I was pregnant because I had some of the symptoms but it hasn't happened yet. Actually just a few weeks ago, I had the worst pain in my lower stomach that I felt like dying and the doctor said I was just fine and there was nothing wrong with me. What could this mean?
My mother had periods with all of her pregnancies and all of her tests came back negative(including blood), could this mean I could have the same symptoms since nothing is 100% accurate? I am just wondering because it crosses my mind every time I get my period.

You said that after 5 days the sperm will come out. I am just curious, how do you know it is sperm coming out instead of normal discharge?

Maybe there is something wrong with your husband?
