    Sometimes if you stop trying it will happen, stressors and nerves may be the reason behind this, and the more you have sex the lower the sperm count in the ejacualtions, try tracking your fertile days and have sex on those days I hope this helps

    I know I may sound uneducated but I guess I am on this subject, I have only been with 1 man, the one I married. My mom never talked with me about anything, how do you know when you are fertile?

    You can get tests like a pregnancy test to do to find your fertile days or you can count days I believe it is two weeks after the start of your period that you are the most fertile

    A rough guide is about 12-16 days before your next period is due to begin, but that is just a starting place. Try the ovulation tests as nightlight198073 suggested. If you have regular periods they can be easier to use. I would start the testing a few days before what is stated on the test kit however, as some women will naturally ovulate a bit sooner or a bit later than the average... which is what the tests follow. You may want to buy two kits to cover a few more days on either end.

    You can also watch for changes in cervical mucus. As your body prepares for ovulation, you may notice discharge that becomes more clear and fluid. This is the sort of mucus that will allow sperm to survive in hopes of an egg being released.

    Some women find success with keeping track of their temperature change. Temping and charting (basal body temperature, or BBT) can take a few months of use to see a pattern emerge.

    If you have been having sex regularly, and frequently, for the last 2 years, you may want to consider talking to your doctor about some initial fertility checks for both you and your husband. If the sex has been more sporadic, try, for several months, some of the suggestions for getting an idea of when you might be the most fertile. If still no success, see your doctor at that time.

    Thank you both. Right now I'm going through some wierdness, I have been on my period for 2 weeks and 2 days. My doctor told me that its because I'm a bigger woman . I tried my ob gyn but my insurance won't allow me to see her without a referral and my doctor doesn't see a reason to give me one. I'm looking for a new doctor but not meny take my insurance, I'm going to go to the emergency room Thursday when I get a little money to go. And someone to watch my 3 year old.
