I'm ovulating, and still not pregnant after 10 months?

I’m at a good fertility age (21 almost 22) and I’m doing every single thing I can be doing.
- I temp every morning
- I chart
- I use OPKs
- I check my CM daily
- I BD around the time I ovulate
I know I’m ovulating every month, but nothing’s happened for me at all. I do have irregular cycles (between 32 – 40 days.) I’m scared to hit the 1 year mark because I know that puts me into the category of infertile.
What could possible medical problems be for me?

Dont start to panic yet. It can take some couples 2 years before they are successful. I used to work in a Fertility Unit and the amount of couples that came through after the 1 year mark was a lot. Sometimes what happened was they would have their first consultation with a doctor and then they would be phoning and saying "i don’t need any further appointment because we are pregnant". This is because they calmed down as they thought there was not anything they could do and it was in someones Else’s hands. Mostly it is the stress and the worry of becoming pregnant which makes it not happen. Try to relax (which i know is very difficult because all u want to see is that positive sign on a pregnancy stick) and enjoy sex. Maybe at some point go away on holiday or even for a weekend and just enjoy being together. Don’t focus on just making a baby. You are being organised by always checking temp etc but if that’s all you are thinking you are going to go mad and the body just does not relax. You are at a young age so i am sure it will happen. If you get to that year and a half stage you can always visit your doc to get some routine hormone blood tests done to check to see if everything is normal. I have irregular cycles too and i have a 2 year old daughter who i had when i was 26. Good luck hun and please feel free to stay in contact by email if you want any further advice. I also used to be a the personal secretary for the counsellor where i worked so i have spoken to many women who just need to talk. Best of luck xxx
Maybe the problem is with your partner. Because you are ovulating the chances are bigger that the problem is with him. He should get himself checked out.
Don’t get too worried about this. I got pregnant with one try with my first and it took me a year to get pregnant with my second. Each month you have sex you have a 20-25% chance of conceiving. Because of this it takes most healthy couples anywhere from 6-12 months to get pregnant. Hang in there. Next month could be your month.
Btw, YOU may not have a fertility issue, your partner could…
have a checkup with doctor….may be because ur periods are irregular…i hav this problem and i am diagnosed with pcos…both of u need to check up.all the best….and tons of baby dust to both of us……
I went through the same thing same age and everything. Nothing seemed to work, so I went to the drug store and got a first response fertility test. It came back normal, so I kept trying and it I got pregnant. My doctor said it was probably the stress that was making it harder for me to get pregnant. I wish you the best of baby luck!!
Even if you time everything correctly you only have a 15-25% chance (2 days in an entire month) to get pregnant. You will only get pregnant if God wills it and not before. It takes 12 months on average for the normal healthy couple under the age of 35 to get pregnant with their first child.
i’m sorry but a freaking year does not put you in the category of infertile. i went two whole years without conceiving and then boom i got pregnant.i went on to have two healthy babies. maybe it’s the fact that you are stressed and thinking too much about trying to become pregnant that its not happening. relax. let nature take its course.
I’m ovulating and still not PG after 4 YEARS+ and nothing has been discovered as far as fertility problems…also, 12 months doesn’t mean you’re infertile, as such…a fertile couple can take up to 24 months to conceive (it’s just that most of those couples conceive within 12 months)..12-24 months is just ‘longer than average’.
It’s possible your DP could have a problem. It’s possible you have blocked tubes. You could have some other problem, like PCOS (even though you ovulate!), or endometriosis, or fibroids…or you could just be unlucky to now! There’s really know way of knowing at this point.
How long is your LP (since you chart and BBT)? Is that an ok length? Were you on any hormonal BC pre-TTC? If so, what were you taking?
Although it’s scary to fall into the category of "infertile" you’ll feel much better getting all the tests done and knowing what’s going on. And like others have mentioned, sometimes the problem is with the man.
Good luck and baby dust!!!
It could be many things from something small to something big, but ony your doctor will ebable to tell. At a year they will normally start to test. Also it could be that neither of you have any problems and its the stress from charting everything that is making you not conceive, i have heard oif many people myself included that conceived after stopping trying/
stress will be a big part of it, so relax also you might be doing something wrong so after sex wait 5 min and don’t get up or clean up also have sex every 3 days and sperm can live in you for up to 7 days so u might be having sex to often then if that doesn’t work you might need a little help from your dr so ask about clomide i hope this helps
