Recently, during dinner a friend conversationally said,
"I wish I knew that getting pregnant could be work in some cases, I have been trying to get my wife knocked up now for 2 years and its not just happening, meanwhile we did everything to avoid it while we were dating and even in the first year of our marriage"
Asked if they have seen a doctor he answered yes and the doctor said both of them are perfectly fine.
I went to research on this and to my amazement getting pregnant for most women is not usually that easy especially when they are really gearing up for it. For others, they don't even know when it happens.
A one too many reason I found, that may cause the delay is anxiety and stress. Apart from seeing a doctor, after trying for over 10-12 months, every woman who is trying to conceive (TTC) is advised to take it slow and easy.
Hard as this may seem, especially when all your friends are getting pregnant and putting to bed and then you have started getting those 'side calls' from family and friends asking if you have doubled (LOL), living stress free, not putting your heart into it and going ahead to enjoy yourself with your spouse is what I am made to understand to be the magic wand.
So many women, confessed to getting pregnant as soon as they stopped TRYING.
Some other women, from experience suggested doing the pills. Funny? Yea, you can imagine using contraceptives so you can get pregnant??. However, the number of personal testimonies to this makes it worth the try. They suggested this approach especially if your cycle has recently become irregular. It will help regularize your cycle and a staggering number of women got knocked up soon as they got off the pills.
Whatever you do as the saying goes, Please consult your doctor.
P.S: I would appreciate any informed opinions, experiences, advice (medical or otherwise) for myself and many other women out there. Thanks.
