i' m TTC from past 3 months with no success.we had intercourse on the most fertile days of my cycle.i was very positive that i' ll be pregnant but got dissapointed again & again.i' m really getting worried now.does this mean we have some fertility issues?
since this is a TTC board, i want to ask all of u who r TTC & who ever have succeeded in getting pregnant that how long has it taken for u all to get pregnant.did u achieve success within 3 months itself or did it take even longer for anyone of u?can u plz tell me how many attempts did it take for u all to conceive.plz help !!!

thanxxx smily replied. dont feel discouraged after the attempts,most of the people succeed after 4 or 5 months ttc , doctors also suggest to try for 1 yr, then only u can suspect for any infertility problems, well if u r in abroad try prenatal vitamins which u can get on normal shops without prescription,well coming to my case ,now iam in my 4 th month of pregnency,in 2nd trial only i got +ve,well i took some prenatal vitamins ' one a day womens' for 3 months on my friends suggestion. , which has multivitamins and folic acid.i think the tablets gave me good effect for me.just i was about to finish my 100 tabs i concieved . and also i heard that after having tabs ther wont be any sickness in pregnency.iam very normal with my pregnency ,so dont feel tension, tension reduces ur +ve chances.so be happy and enjoy everything as normal
i wish loads of babydust on u.
Nandita replied. Dear Dolly,
Im new here too, but have been active on soem other boards on ivillage. I am sailing in exactly the same boat and being a medical graduate, knowing things inside out is working against me.

According to stats, everything going right, a fertile couple has around 20-25% chances of conceiving in a month, which is why specialists ask you to try for a year before getting disheartened or going for help.

Im sure you are doing things right, but stress also affects. We too get too pressurised to perform on those days and may be thats having a negative effect on us. Do be mentally prepared that at end of one year, most normal couples get pregnant. Even ive been trying only since 3 months and every month i feel this is it, im preg, i even experience all symptoms, but then that is life.

Do write back for any mental support, we are in the same situation !!
