    My boyfriend and I are trying to have a baby. Why isn't it working?
    We never use protection, and we have sex when I'm fertile and not fertile.

    Impossible to tell from such little information.
    Have you spoken to your own medical practitioner about this ?

    We've been together for a long time and never use protection and have sex quite often. Shouldn't I be pregnant by now? And yes, I've talked to my dr and she says I'm able to have kids. And so is he.

    How long have you been trying to conceive? It takes the average couple 1 to 2 years to conceive once they start actively trying, tracking ovulation, the works.

    Have you been trying for longer than a year?

    First, a little punctuation would really help in your post. That was hard to read.

    Second, the majority of people do not get pregnant the first time they try, even if they take a romantic vacation together.

    Just fyi.

    Good for you alty and I was talking of my own experience and please don't diss my spelling or punctuations I know they isn't good but I have dyslexia I even have to right it on the Google bar to get the correct spelling pop up thank you for pointing that out. I know most people don't get pregnant on first time. Never said they do again my own experience. Just to tell you I've helped a lot of couples with these problems. Stress can affect pregnancy and what's the best way to relieve stress getting away, having a holiday.

    I'm sorry that you have dyslexia, but I do have to point out that this site is world wide, which means that we get a lot of people for whom English isn't their first, sometimes not even second or third, language. We have to try to make it easier for them to understand what we're saying. For instance, not using words like "diss", or "ain't". I'm sure that you can control that.

    Also, please keep in mind that there are forums where only opinion matters, and then there are forums where we stick to facts. The Pregnancy forum is a fact forum. The fact is, it takes the average couple 1 to 2 years before they conceive.

    I do agree that stress can have an impact on conception. I would like to know how you've "helped alot of couples with these problems". Are you a reproductive therapist?

    No worries. I'm also sorry about my comments toward your lack of punctuation.

    I hope you stick around. Just try to keep in mind that many of the people that post here, aren't native English speakers. Communication is difficult at best, even at the best of times, when we deal with the written word, and people that don't understand the words we're writing. ;)
