I have a question

[xDenax]

A couple is considered to have fertility issues when they have been trying for a year to get pregnant without success. But...does this mean actively trying, as in, charting and making sure to have sex at the correct time every month? Or...does it mean those who have not prevented pregnancy but still don't get pregnant?

My understanding is that a couple is considered to have fertility issues when they haven't been preventing for a year and haven't gotten pregnant. Obviously, if the husband is out of town or something during ovulation week for most of those months, the couple might want to give it a little extra time.

Yeah, after reading some more I think we're fine. No need to worry right now.

We did some tests just to "make sure" because we had reason to believe there might be something wrong, but otherwise I'd say it's not having conceived after a year of unprotected sex.

It's been a year for us and I wasn't extremely careful for years before that. He thinks there is something wrong. I'm not so sure and I'm not ready to worry about it yet. I know there have been some months where we were not together during ovulation (I was sick, he was traveling, etc).

hey, try 8 years. That's 96 months of no's for us. Finally happened and now that our son is a teenager I am wondering what where we thinking. j/k need to get checked out by MD but God still works miracles, he did for us.

Thanks Hog Red! We've had 48 mos of no's, but after reading your post, I have a renewed patience. God does still work miracles...
