Trying to Conceive: 6 Months, Still Trying Community

It’s been six months since you started trying and you’re still not pregnant. ... more

What the heck will work???

MrsB1119 posted:

My husband and I have been ttc for 6 mo. now, with zero luck, while every single woman around me has gotten pregnant while not trying or not wanting to become pregnant. It's excruciating for us. Our problem is that we keep getting told that no one will run tests on either of us until we have been trying a year. Not even a semen analysis. The only thing a doctor has done was check my progesterone levels to see that I do ovulate. I really didn't want to get obsessed with trying, but have OPK's or BBT methods worked for anyone?? My cycle has been irregular my whole life, and I was on the pill from 14-22 years old. Ever since I've been off (about 7 mo) my cycles are still irregular. So we just have sex every 36 hours like the doctor said and I put a pillow up under me for 20 min. afterward. Any other advice? Have those other methods worked for anyone?
