Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
I have never tried to have baby, but I'm in a nursing class. We we're learning about it, and it usually best to try to get pregnant 14-18 days after your period has started. That is when your eggs have dropped and are ready. Its different with every women, but maybe try that! Remember the eggs live for 24 hours, but sperm lives up to 74 hours. So try a couple days before the 14 days, so you'll have that much more of a chance! I hope I helped, and good luck with everything!!

You did not mention how long you have been trying but remember getting pregnant and carying a child to term is literally a miracle. Everything has to be JUST RIGHT or it doesn't work.
We got pregnant the first month of trying with our first child. We assumed the same would happen when we were trying for our second but alas, 8 months later I was still not pregnant. Luckily on month 9 it happened. Then with our third child it was back to the first month of trying again.
It is COMPLETELY normal for it to take up to a year to conceive.
With our third child I read the book "How to chose the sex of your baby" by Dr. Shettles. Whether or not you are trying for a particular gender, the book is loaded with scientific/medical information about how and why it takes what it takes to get pregnant and how to go about it. It discuses sperm count, X & Y chromosomes, acidity, etc. We did happen to use it to help us with gender as our first two kids are the same sex and we are only having three kids. We had hoped to be able to experience a life with sons and daughters both. It actually worked for us as we are sticklers for following rules... but even if you don't care what the gender is, I think this book might explain some things.
There are many other books out there as well. If you go to your library or book store, a reference librarian or a knowledgable clerk should be able to point you in the right direction. We have a "self help" section at our local book store which has TONS of different topics including fertility/infertility issues.
Just remember a few things; 1. Be sure to be on a good prenatal (preferably from a DR. at least one month before conceiving to reduce your chances of birth defects. 2. Somehow... I don't know why... but those who are just having a meaningless one night stand seem to get pregnant a lot faster than those of us who are desperately trying to start a loving, caring family. It can take quite a while. 3. Don't rule out seeing your doctor. You are going to have to go every month once you get pregnant anyway and if you are having that much trouble, you or he may have some sort of issue that could potentially be harmful to a fetus which is why it seems as though you are not getting pregnant at all... you may be getting pregnant but having a miscarriage before you even know you are pregnant. A doctor may be able to help you with this if this is the case- and I don't mean the drugs and procedures that are going to cause you to have 8 or 10 kids all at once.
There is very little in life more fulfilling than having children. They can be little buggars but at the end of the day, I would give my life for all three of mine.
Best of luck with this.
