Hello I have been trying to conceive for about a year and no luck! I have no insurance or I would go to the doc and get something. Is there anything you would recommend me trying to help get pregnant?

If you have no insurance, how do you plan to pay for delivery of this child?

[amstorey94]

Well you automatically get insurance when you are pregnant. If not id just pay for it.

Then just pay for the doctor to see if there is a pregnancy issues.

Next what "free" insurance do you get, one that perhaps tax payers like me, have to pay for ?

[amstorey94]

Um I pay taxes and make good money they just don't provide insurance and for some reason I have not been able to get any. This is supposed to be a sight to get help and you sure arnt doing that!

"Well you automatically get insurance when you are pregnant" No, that's called Medicaid, paid by US taxpayers .I don't think you will get much sympathy here. Well quite truthfully, I don't want to be on the side of paying for your child's support. That's half the problem anymore, no insurance? Give me something free, I deserve it.

Have you looked in to why you can't conceive? Is she ovulating? Is your sperm count low? Are you having sex during her fertile times? Are her fertile times when they should be? Are you sticking it in the right hole?

There are a lot of questions that we can't know the answer to and that the only people who do know the answers are medical professionals. There has to be a reason you can't get health insurance. If you have enough you can get ones that give you a golden bed pan.

There isn't a cure all that we can suggest. There isn't a drug that you can get over the counter that will help. It could be that you're just not sexing each other up at the right time, or one of you could be sterile. Could also be that when your genes combine it doesn't provide a viable embryo.

The bottom line is the only reliable help we can provide is to keep doing her through out her cycle and make sure that you're both fertile. If either of those fail then medical intervention might be required.

Good luck.

Okay, I'm not American, so I won't comment about medicaid, or no insurance, I live in a country where health care is free.

Having said that, if you can't afford to go to the doctor for a checkup, because you don't have insurance, how are you going to pay to raise a child? A doctors appointment without insurance costs what, $250? A child will cost far more than that on a monthly basis, and you won't have a steady income after the baby is born, you'll be on maternity leave, and after that, if you do go back to work, you'll have to pay for child care, a huge expense.

So I really have to ask how you can afford a child when you can't even afford to visit a doctor.

Craven, I'm a bit confused. You're posting as if this poster is male. Am I missing something? I've read all the posts on this thread, and it says that the poster is trying to conceive, that once the poster is pregnant insurance is automatic.

Not being argumentative, just wondering what I missed, because I'm assuming the OP is female, and you're assuming the poster is male.

[amstorey94]

Ok

Just a thought... If you are working you may not qualify for medicaid.

We are trying to help you, but this site (not sight) is different in that we don't just answer the question. We try to provide a solution. So when someone tells us they can't afford to go to a doctor to find out why they can't conceive, it rings bells for us.

I'm wondering who is telling you that you get covered if you are pregnant? I suspect you are misunderstanding something. Where are you located (country, state?) that you think this.

If you are in the US have you looked at the coverage under the new ACA? If you have a good job, why don't they provide insurance. Most good jobs do.

But as Craven said, if you are having trouble conceiving you and your spouse need to be examined by medical professionals to determine if there is some medical problem that can be treated.
