I am 27 years old. My only son was born in 2001. My husband and I have been trying for the last 8 years to have another one. 5 Doctors and still no answer! After having my 1st child, I have had no menstural cycle. Maybe 3 or 4 light ones since then. I am 5'3 and 200lbs. Can anyone help??

I've recently read that it's fairly common for women to experience secondary infertility. Along with that I've also read that success rates for treating it are high, so keep your head up! Sounds like you have irregular ovulation; has your doctor concluded whether you have been or not? Some things you can do to naturally boost fertility include, RELAXING, cut back on red meats and trans fat, have more veggies and nuts, exercise, and eat full fat dairy. Here is something I read you may want to think about if you haven't already: "While you may not have had a preexisting fertility problem, something may have happened since the birth of your first child to make you have problems conceiving. Think back to your delivery: Were there any complications that may have influenced your fertility? What about any medication you've taken, trauma during pregnancy or lifestyle changes, such as increased stress? “Stress can seriously limit your chances of becoming pregnant,” says Dr. Sushma Shah. Food sensitivities, Candida and an unhealthy diet can also cause fertility issues." Another thing I would like to point out is your BMI which is 35.4. This puts you in the obese category which is a factor when considering your infertility.The Patient's Doctor: Obesity and infertility Starting a more healthy lifestyle could very well bring you your much anticipated pregnancy. I really hope this helps! Good luck!

Have you seen a fertility doctor?

As Rank said above, secondary infertility is common. Also, your weight may be a factor in conceiving. Did you weigh the same when you conceived your son?

My friend had something like you to Katie K. She finally went to England and found a doctor named Mr. Mikey

It sounds like you're not ovulating frequently based on your menstral cycles. Have any of the doctors addressed why, specifically?

No! I have had tests done on my blood work. Vitamin D is low so I take those pills now. I take synthriod for my thyriod. I have had an ultrasound and my oviaries are great. Otherwise they keep tlling me I need to loose wieght. I can loose about 20 pounds and then that's it. I have taken progesteron too. I am so confused!

No! But why can any other obese person in the world get pregnant, but I can't.? I am not that overweight. And I lead and live a pretty healthy lifestyle.

Unfortunately, it is harder for people with thyroid problems to get pregnant.
