    When you started trying to get pregnant 3 years ago, had you just come off any form of birth control?

    - First of all, How old are you? Age plays an important role in a woman's fertility.
    - Secondly, having normal periods doesn't necessarily mean that everything is OK. This is why you should consult your OBGYN or better yet contact a fertility clinic and just get the necessary tests. These hormonal tests are fast and they will tell you what the problem is right away. Anyway, if you need help finding a fertility clinic let me know. It depends on the area you live in but I can help you

    It took me almost 4 years to get pregnant. It took my mom almost 6. Sometimes all you can do is wait. Stay healthy and check your local hospital for classes for couples in your situation.

    Have you been charting your fertility signs/ovulation? This is very important when trying to conceive. Have you seen an endocrinologist?

    Sometimes it just takes a while. You can always consult a fertility therapist/specialist whatever they're called where you live. Get a physical done on yourself, and your husband. Have his sperm count checked, and your fertility checked as well.

    There are a lot of people on this site who are on the same boat as you. You sound like you are at your peak of fertility. Are you for sure that you have been ovulating? Have you talked with a health care professional about this? Sorry if our questions are frustrating, we are just trying to rule out what you alrealy know so that we can help you more! :)

    Hey sometimes when you want to be pregnant really bad, you stress about it when you are having sex all you can think about is if you will get pregnant this time! If that is you, you need to relax and enjoy the sex and maybe you will get pregnant trust me I went through this same thing!! Sounds dumb but it is true!!

    If a doctor has not diagnosed you with any health concerns, I think lots of women are off on their timing. This book explains how to know when you're ovulating and most fertile.
