My husband and I have been together for three years and we hae been married for nine months. By the second year we were together we have been trying to get pregnant but we cant. Could there be a problem with our blood types that is stoppong us from getting pregnant? He is A+ and I am B+. Please help.


Thanks

People of all blood types get pregnant all the time. I'm A- and my hubby is AB+ so it's probably not your blood types. I would suggest that you both go to the dr and get a work up so that you know what the problem is.

I am going on having #6 kids. BUt after my 1st, I had infertily for almost 7 yrs before I had #2. Could be a number of things. I have read a ton of books on conceiving, infertility, etc. They say it can take -up to a whole year to conceive and everything be perfectly normal. IF you do it too much, his sperm count could be low, if you do not do it at the right times, that could be a problem. If you get a work up, they most likely will test his sperm 1st, then maybe test your tubes, something called a Hysterpinogram (?), shooting dye in your tubes so you can see it on a TV , the Doc may have you have sex-then come into the office & he pull some of the"Mucus" out of you & examine on a microscope, rarely --but it happens, a woman's muscus can be HOSTILE to the husbands sperm and kill it. I was tested for all of these things-which were fine, but had Surgery to look inside my womb called a Laparoscopy and my problem was... I had a previous C-section and had my tubes bound up with adhesions (scar tissue that looks like cob webs) and they were KINKING my tubes so the sperm could not go through. I could be so many things-some women have ovulation problems and need to take a simple pill called Clomid to help get the eggs out (I did that too for 6 months), if after one year of trying, you still can not conceive, look for a Gyno who you trust, can afford and go for testing. Hopefully your insurance will cover most of this. Mine did back then.
