Question Posted Sunday April 19 2009, 12:21 pm

Okay.. I have been trying to get pregnant for like ever!! I have one son he is two. My fiance has two boys and had a daughter. So we can both have kids?? My periods irregular.. I gained weight when i was pregnant. So a docotor said that may be why my periods were irregular. I worked out, ran walk, etc. wel i got them regular but they are getting messed up again from stress. my last one wasnt even close. spotted the whole time. Well i talked to my bestfriend about it.. Douching?? can that be a reason, i havent been able to get pregnant. My mom wasnt around growing up, no sister, i lived with all guys, i was a tom boy growing up not anymore but still no one to really talk to .. akward talking to her about it but... im not sure what it is but she said she does it and shes got 3 kids?

Stress and irregular periods could very likely be the reason you are not getting pregnant. You said you have been trying for "ever". I question how long this actually is because it is not uncommon for it to take a full year to conceive and this is assuming you are being very diligent every month watching your calendar, your body temperature, your signs of ovulation, etc. If you aren't doing these things... you may think you are trying because you are "trying" a lot.

Babies aren't just called miracles because they are so special and bring such love to their parents. They are truely miracles because of ALL it takes to be PERFECT in order to conceive. If everything isn't completely perfect, conception will not take place... or will not last.

This is another thing. You may have gotten pregnant recently and not even known because of "spontaneous abortion". You may have just started your "period" which was in fact a failed conception. It is an absolute miracle that women get pregnant and carry their babies to term.

This is a bit of personal aggravation to me. It is SO EASY to have sex. "Everyone" does it. Sex was invented to conceive a child and so many women have an evening of enjoyment and then are frightened or concerned that they may be pregnant. Of course they may! That is what the act is for!! But doesn't it always seem that those of us who are actually TRYING to have a baby have a hard time? Hardly seems fair.

I got pregnant with my first son on our first month of trying. We assumed the same would be true with our second but he took almost a year to conceive- and I was doing all of the diligent things like keeping close watch on my cycle and taking my temperature so it was disappointing every month when I was not. But with my daughter, it was back to the first month of trying again. So don't give up and if you have concerns... your doctor may have some suggestions that can help speed up the process.

Also, as far as douching- this is unnecessary under most circumstances. Just good daily hygiene is all that is necessary. Douching can cause dryness and other unpleasant side effects and is actually dangerous to do while pregnant. As long as you are trying to get pregnant, it may be a good idea to stop douching.

Best of luck.
