    No, Nothing wrong. It can take up to a year or longer to get pregnant.

    I would say if there is anything wrong at all, it is that maybe you are not relaxed enough.

    Thinking, worrying, concentrating too much. Getting stressed out. Thinking something is wrong.

    There are theories that stress can have a factor in not getting pregnant.

    It can never hurt to go see your ob/gyn and get a thorough examination so that you can make sure that everything is fine and in working order, and stop worrying about it. Stress can DEFINITELY deter your efforts in concieving. We tried for a year, and when I finally stopped stressing over it, I got preggy right away. Basically just get checked out and make sure you're OK, then just sit back and enjoy the ride to parenthood. It may take longer then you like, but once you are finally there, it will be so much more special to you because of how long it took. Good luck and best wishes ;0)

    Preconception health screenings are very important. You should visit your physican for full exam, both of you.

    With that said, yes it can take up to, and sometimes over a year of trying to become pregnant.

    Other than the answers you already have, it is hard to help you any further since there you provided only limited information.
