Trying to conceive with no luck.

[turc]

My husband and I Have been trying to conceive for 3 years.  We have had no luck.  I am not on metformin and was just wondering what my chances might be of conceiving in the near future?  Any suggestions

Turc, what have you had tested?  Has your husband had his sperm motility tested?  I had some friends who tried for a year, and the women kept going in to the doc, and they couldn't find any reason why she wasn't conceiving.  Turns out her husband had low sperm motility.  A little procedure, and they got pregnant right away.

 

Maybe your stress about it is getting in the way of conception now?  My husband's parents, when planning their first child, tried for 5 years, and then gave up.  They were most of the way through an adoption when she got pregnant... and she thinks it was because she had stopped stressing about conceiving.

 

Good luck!

  MY WIFE AND I WERE IN THE SAME BOAT, NO WAY, NO CHANCE, SAID OUR G.P. ,,,, DESPERATE, I DECIDED TO TAKE HER TO LONDON TO PAY, AND SEE TOP SPECIALISTS..... BUT AT THE TIME, WE HAD JUST BOUGHT OUR FIRST HOUSE, SO MUCH TO DO ETC.ETC. THAT WE COMPLETELY  ' FORGET ' ABOUT 'BABIES '....WITHIN  3 MONTHS, MY WIFE WAS PREGNANT ! OUR SON IS NOW 28, 6' 6" , 19 STONE, RUGBY PLAYER.  ... SO MY ADVICE IS TO ;FORGET  ALL ABOUT IT ' CARRY ON AS NORMAL, DONT WORRY, AND STOP 'TRYING TOO HARD '.... THERE IS A SAYING THO'  " A NEW HOUSE , A NEW BABY "

I'd agree with what zgma said, get yourselves tested and see what the problem is. If you've been trying for over 12 months with no luck then your GP will get it investigated for you including blood tests to see that you are ovulating, tests to check your fallopian tubes are not blocked, checking that you don't have 'hostile mucus' that stops the sperm getting to the egg and tests on your husband's sperm. Most problems can be overcome one way or another and even if they find nothing wrong at least you will have checked.

Are you in the UK?  The UK expert in the NHS  I believe is Prof. Lesley Regan (a woman) based in a London hospital, I think it's Paddington hospital.
