Maybe you could start the thread off with your story and what you've been trying/doing to conceive?

I keep trying to get pregnant but I don't know what i'm doing wrong

A little back story: my partner and I have been together for 2 years in a very loving relationship. About a year ago we started having unprotected sex to try to conceive a child. We have tried all positions imaginable but for some reason I can't get preggers

Have you considered going to a fertility clinic? Have you been tested, or has your partner, for impotence? I hate to suggest that it might not be possible for you, but it's worth ruling out.

I went to a clinic last week and the doctor just looked at my partner and I very strangely and told us to consider a mental health clinic

That guy really yanked my crank!!

I would highly recommend checking out Taking Charge of Your Fertility--your local library might have a copy, and if not, it's totally worth the $16 on Amazon. It will help you figure out what is going on with your cycles. There are a lot of different things that could be going on, and learning to recognize your own body's patterns and cues will tell you if everything is in working order.

Personally, I always assumed that I ovulated on day 14 of my cycle, which is the "standard" day used by doctors to calculate conception. Once I started using Fertility Awareness, I discovered that I actually ovulate around day 20 (using the first day of your period as day 1). So if I were only having sex in the days leading up to day 14, and maybe even right after that, it wouldn't be close enough to my actual ovulation day to work.

Also, have you talked to a doctor or midwife? The standard recommendation is to seek help after 1 year of trying if you are young and healthy.

Thanks for these tips and pointers I will take them to heart!

I do have one question though: what is ovulation? I don't think I have ever experienced this phenomena before and am curious as to what occurs at this time. I would ask my partner but he is away for work purposes until tomorrow. I already purchased the book on amazon can't wait to read it!
