How long have you been trying? Do you know when you ovulate? Are your periods usually 3 days? Ok, so during the month about 10-14 days after your period, you should experience egg-white type of discharge, clear stringy. This is present when you are ovulating. So this shows that you are ovulating, so this is when you should have intercourse.

Seems like you are a good candidate for BBT (Basal Body Temperature) charting. A BBT temperature jump occurs at ovulation. Visit fertilityfriend.com for more. Good luck!

Have sex every other day and you will get pregnant.

I used depo and ended up having to go on Clomid in order to ovulate. I would do something to check if you're ovulating. My periods before Clomid were sporadic and varied in heavyness and length between. It can sometime take a woman up to 2 years to start ovulating on her own after Depo. If you want to before then, you will need to try something like Clomid.

Another comment for everyone.....NEVER use Depo--it will mess your body up afterwards. With my son I got preg so easy and before that I had a maiscarriage that was easy to get preg with. After my son I went on Depo for only a year. It now took almost a year and a half to get preg (8 month of that on Clomid). I have heard so many other stories like this. Easy birth control is just not worth the chance of severely prolonging chances to get preg in the future.

good luck to everyone out there trying to get Pregnant! I am now almost 6 weeks along.

have they checked your progesterone level, in the uterus, around the time of ovulation? i had this test done after failing to conceive and it reviled a luteal phase defect. thats when your body dosnt make enough progesterone to support a pregnancy. usually a person with this problems will have a strange period also. sometimes, a LFD can lead to lots of miscarriages and other times you just wont even get pregnant. after 5 year, i am now 16 weeks along because of a little bit of progesterone cream to correct the problem. i really hope you find an answer, i know how painful and frustrating it is. hang in there!

Hey ladies, well, I'm a little new to this forum but i share many of the same problems that all we ladies have experienced when trying to conceive!

You know, i'm just over 40 now and i have 2 wonderful kids and i wouldn't swap them for the world!

However it didn't always used to be that way.

My doctor said there was less than a 8% chance i'd ever had kids just a couple of years ago! Can you believe it?

I was aggressively on the hunt to have kids for a good couple of years now, but still had no such luck.

However, one day i was browsing and literally stumbled across something which literally changed my life and finally gave me Lucy and Ben, my 2 beautiful kids.

For any of you woman who just cant seem to get pregnant, i strongly you check this out.

Just copy and paste this into your web browser]]] snipurl.com/t0yx2

Hope this helps, Jess x
