I have been trying for a baby for 5months now and still no luck. Is 5 months a long time? Or am I being unpatient! It feels like I've been trying a lifetime and really really want to be pregnant!

5 months really isn't that long when it comes to efforts in conceiving. Esp if you were on birth control prior to that. If you were on the pill, it is suggested to allow 3 months after stopping before expecting it to be out of your system. Other forms of birth control are even longer. (such as the shot, which you should allow up to 18 months before expecting it out of your system) Its also important to remember that it takes most healthy couples, who are free of the effects of because, up to 12 months to conceive naturally, before medical intervention is suggested as an option. You can use ovulation predictor kits, and chart your basal body temp (Ovulation Calendar and Ovulation Chart - FertilityFriend.com) as a means of finding your ovulation time, to make the timing of intercourse more productive. Try not to have sex every day during that time, but rather every other day. This gives the sperm(and your man;0) a chance to refuel and be ready for the next time. The optimal positions for helping the sperm to better reach their destination are missionary style, and from the back. Basically the worst position is with you sitting on top, just because its easier for it to run out that way. Also try laying in bed with your hips slightly elevated by a pillow for 20 minutes after sex, as this will help the sperm to stay in long enough to better reach where they are headed. However, keep in mind that these are just helpful suggestions, and conception can still be achieved without them. Most importantly, just relax and enjoy what it is that you and your man are trying to achieve. Too many times we get focused entirely on making a baby, and not on our significant other and the love/connection you share. Make sure it doesn't just become a job that must be done in order to get a baby, as this will lead to a deep felt disappointment and feeling somehow neglected, when the test comes up negative. Also leads to the questions of " is there something wrong with me? or it is him?" Lastly, I would suggest getting a pre-conception check up done, and also taking prenatal vitamins(if you aren't already) Good luck to you.

You being impatient and I understand that feeling. We expected it to happen right away, but it never happens that way. The more impatient you get, the more frustrated and stressed you get, guess what happens. Nothing.
The only way to get pregnant is not to even try. To enjoy yourselves. Make love like bunnies and have fun. Loving each other just because you love each other.
5 Months is not a long time.
85 percent of couples it takes up to 1 year to get pregnant.

Good luck to you and try and stay stress-free... that helps your body accept a possible pregnancy.
