    Trying for long
    I have been trying for a long time to get pregnant, but I have nt been successful. I have 2 questions, is it possible to have very regular period and not ovulate.
    Also before I have my period and during my period I always have cramps in my leg,is this abnormal, or is this a sign of an infection or disease.

    How long have you been trying? It can take up to a year for couples to conceive. If it has been more than a year, I would suggest that you and your partner get your fertility checked out by a doctor.

    It is very rare, but it is possible to have a regular cycle and not ovulate, although the reasoning behind this is not clear. (Source : Periods without Ovulation)

    The best way to know if you are ovulating or not would be to buy an ovulation kit from Walmart, or any drug store. You can also use an ovulation calendar : American Pregnancy Association : Getting Pregnant: Ovulation Calendar. You can also check your Basal Body Temperature. Here is information on that : Basal body temperature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    As for the leg cramps, women can experience cramping in a number of ways : abdominal, back, legs, etc. It doesn't sound like a cause for concern right now, but if it gets any worse, I would see a doctor. :)

    I can't say that I know how you feel. Every time I have tried to get pregnant, no luck. I always got pregnant when I wasn't trying, or wasn't expecting it.

    Just to be on the safe side, you and your partner should get checked out by a doctor. If you are both fertile, then it rules out infertility and it just means you may have to try longer.

    Like I said, if the leg cramps get any worse, or turn into more than just cramps, talk to your doctor. :)
