Trying to Conceive..2 Months Later-still No Luck

It is way too early to start stressing right now. Stress will not help.
It took me 6 months to conceive my son at age 24.
Try to relax and enjoy it.

I'm 36 & we've been ttc for 5 months now. My doctor won't see me till i've had 8 unsuccessful months. I don't chart or temp,or use ovulation kits. I'd be too stressed out all the time. We just have lots of sex.

You've only been trying for 2 months. Give it some time and try to relax! Good luck!

I'm not trying to minimize your situation because I can only imagine that couples struggling with infertility ,must be one of the most frustrating things ever ( even though you're not even close to being in that situation yet). So, I will say this...
You need to chill out & have massive amounts of sex.

My sister is trying not for her first too and I tell her not to try. Just do normal things and it will happen. I think the stress of trying makes it harder to conceive. But I'm not 100% sure on that. None of my 3 were planned, so I don't know about the whole trying thing, but that's what I've heard, about stress at least.

Two months is seriously nothing. It doesn't even count as secondary infertility yet. In spite of how easy it seems for some people, including some of our own past pregnancies, there's a lot more to it than just "insert slot A into slot B at such-and-such time of month."

If you get to 6-12 months and have trouble, then I would let the OB know you'd like a referral to a fertility specialist to have a consult.

You've already got a lot of replies! When I was 37 and trying to get pregnant for the first time it took 9 months! I felt really depressed each month when I got my period. I "thought" I must be infertile and just gave up caring. I started telling myself and my husband that it's too much work to be a mom anyway! I was just angry. I had irregular periods so when I was 10 days late the first month after "giving up", I finally took a pregnancy test only because my mother encouraged me to and I WAS 6 WEEKS PREGNANT!!! I was completely shocked and honestly the happiest woman on the planet! All I ever wanted to be was a mom! SO, please try to just relax and enjoy the excitement of trying to get pregnant and let nature take it's course. I really do wish you and your family the very best!

Honestly, I think it takes longer than a month for your body to return to normal after IUD removal. I don't care what the commercial says. I wasn't really "normal" after I had mine removed for about 3 months or so. Give it a little more time.

2 months is nothing. Relax. Give it a little time and try not to try so hard with the scheduling. It took us about 4 months to get pregnant with our first, and about double that for our 2nd.

2 months is nothing.

S., give yourself some time. I just had a friend lament that she wasn't pregnant yet. Her first two kids were really quick - within 2 months of trying. But they've been trying since March. I said that it often takes a year. And guess what? She just called to say she's pregnant. I said, "I TOLD you!" So don't worry yet. It's way way too soon for that.

It takes a couple an average of 6 months to achieve a pregnancy.
And being an average, while some will conceive earlier, others will conceive later.
Most will tell you to try for a full year before consulting a fertility specialist, but at 35, you might want to consult one in 4 months (total of 6 months of TTC) if you've had no luck.

I had problems all through my 20's getting pregnant and keeping them. Was re-married and no desire to try for kids, but ended up having 3 healthy, beautiful kids in a row. With in years of each other, NOW I am trying to prevent it. My point is the more you try the more you psych your body out. As some else said, Progesterone is a big cause of not getting pregnant. Have your levels checked. Low Progesterone can be a big reason for early miscarriage and fertilized eggs not implanting.
Try for at least another few months, and if no success. Then get it checked and go from there.

Why not enjoy each other and not try. I know that stress makes it worse for many trying. I know someone who tried, tried, and had testing, etc. and then adopted and before they got the baby she was pregnant. It just took away the trying with the adoption. Now they have 2 beautiful children. Just relax.

You have only been trying for 2 months. This stuff doesn't happen right away for most people. Stop stressing and enjoy the holiday and trying.

There is a book called 'taking charge of your fertility' that is an excellent source of knowledge. Also, I have read that low progesterone can be a cause of not being able to get pregnant. Iodine deficiency is another cause.(There is Lugol's iodine that you can get online, about 5 -8 drops in your water a day.) There is progesterone cream you can rub on skin, but you have to be careful with it. It can only be taken during a certain phase of menstruation.

You really need to stop "trying." When you try hard, it never happens. I had three pregnancies that happened on the 1st attempt. My fourth pregnancy took months, upon months, upon months. I was so anxious about it nothing happened. When I finally just let go, drank a lot of wine, and just had lots of sex with hubby, I finally got pregnant.

My first pregnancy happened at 35, btw. Don't say such things as your fertility is going downhill. You are a young yet!

I was trying for #2 when I was 39. After 4 months, I saw my OB who said she would talk to me about fertility treatments after 8 months of trying. I needed to do SOMEthing so started going to acupuncture. I was pregnant within 2 months after starting treatments. Good luck, mama!!
