Salaam girls
How are you?
We have been trying to conceive for about 5 months now but nothings happend:( should i be worried?? I know they say u should try for atleast a year before seeking medical advice even my doctor said that but cant help worrying(we have history in family of not having children 2 aunties and one cousin) hence which is why im concerned?"!
How long were u trying for?? Any tips or suggesstions?
Thanks alot
Re: I want a baby!!
Don't worry at this point. or if you're concerned about medical history, get an evalution from your doctor.
Re: I want a baby!!
Even for perfectly healthy couples, it is normal for it to take 3-6 months. If there are issues, you can see a specialist if necessary. It'll happen when the time is right, inshAllah.
We tried for a year naturally, but I knew we would most likely need to see a specialist cuz of my irregular periods. Once we saw the specialist, it just took a few months before we conceived.

Mizz Khan u in UK?
Never tell the docs u only tried for 5 months lol...u shud always tell docs its been a year so they can start doing checks...this way it speeds up the whole process....
get ovulation kit or use ovulation test sticks..start taking vitamins for conception and get ur hubby to aswell and just have a healthy diet...inshallah it will happen soon 4 u and 4 me ;)
Re: I want a baby!!

Re: I want a baby!!
Tabu how long have u been trying for??
Re: I want a baby!!
Why would you lie to your doctor?
Re: I want a baby!!
Well Sara in UK they dont even want to discuss anything unless u have been trying for over a year...I know two ladies who told their docs that they had been trying for like 6-8 months and doc said no u have 2 try for a year...at the end of the year they still hadnt conceived and so basically the process only started then..took them another year to go ahead and have IVF and then finally have a baby...
pregnacare vitamins are good for conception, ovulation kit by clearblue are good but its expensive...so you may want to think about that
If you have issues in ur family then I would suggest its better to lie to the doc so process starts early, otherwise its quite normal for it to take a year for a healthy lady..
inshallah it will happen soon

Re: I want a baby!!
Sara basically people say that if you can't conceive in 3-6 months, why wait for a year? isn't this better to find out early if there are any problems instead of waiting? I agree with the approach but personally we are not comfortable with it....our doctor told us that for healthy young females it takes about a year to conceive!If not, then you can do more tests and find out whats going on!
Re: I want a baby!!
Thanks tabu for the info
Have u been trying for long?
Re: I want a baby!!
mizz dun worry. took me more than 1 .. maybe 1 1/2 yrs to conceive.. and i had my share of sooo many ups and downs. i took atleast 6 cycles of clomid..with and without glucophage. took glucophage alone also and it didnt work.. and me the lazy one, stopped takin glucophage for few months and BAM.. i was preg!!!!!! :) it was natural.. so dun worry. i was tooo stressed esp clomid period cus i used to go to doc every 11th day of my period and see if the eggs were big... and so on. it was a v stressful time. just go with the flow and let nature take its course

Good question. I don't think there's any point since there is a good reason for waiting a year. Those meds are strong and their side effects are not fun. Plus they are pricey and often not covered by insurance. Why take them if you don't have to?
Re: I want a baby!!
I agree with you Sahar02 but im not saying it for the meds...here in UK hospital appts take 4ever to come through...so first u will have blood test and then an ultrasound appt...could easily take 2 months for this..then u have an appt with doctor...and in some cases they will say everything is fine..so no need for meds...BUT if they find something then obv u will need meds then..rather than wait a year.....it makes sense...

try primrose oil
Re: I want a baby!!
I got pregnant a week after my wedding.. our's was a honeymoon baby. I know the excitement of pregnancy and Insallah you will get pregnant. 3-6 months is not a long time I know of many couples that took up to a year to get pregnant.
Re: I want a baby!!
have you identified when you are ovulating? sometimes couples fail to concieve because they simply don't have sex on the right days! write down your cycles- start date and end date and you'll be able to identify how long they are and then form a basis for ovulation dates on cycle length. then its a matter of getting busy over a few days and iA you'll concieve soon enough. you have 1 year before doctors will offer you treatment- why not make the most of it?
