Hi, i am a 23 year old female and have been married for almost a year now. shortly after getting married my husband and i decided to start trying for a family. before we were married i was on the depo injection for almost 3 years and we have been having unprotected sex for 9 months now with no luck. i understand that it can take upto a year for things to get 'back to normal' but i was wondering if there was anything i could do to help us conceive. any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

hi mynames vikki i'm 20 and my partner is 30 we' ve been seeing eachother for 2 years noe and decided to start trying for a baby about 12 mnths ago and as yet no luck! ( i know you all gonna hate me for this)i had an abortion when i was 16 and my mother told me then that there was a high chance of me not been able to concieve in the future. could anybody tell me if this is true? my partner knows all about it and keeps telling me its not my fault but i just cant help blaming myself and its getting me down. everybody in my family has loads of kids and this is the only thing i can think of why am not getting pregnant .

I am 37 years old and my partner and i have been trying for a baby for 6 months. I have been following all your advice about healthier lifestyle, i know exactly when i ovulate but still nothing. My partner is 42 and has 2 young children from a prerviously marriage, so i know he is probably fine. I have had surgery 2 yrs ago for endometriosis and endometriomas and told that although damage was caused to my fallopian tube, they were tested and were patent at this time. I have since had a smear and was told i had a large cervical cyst which was obstructing my cervix and i have been told that the plan is to lazer the cyst. Could the position of this cyst be preventing the semen from reaching my uterus? Or could it possibly be the surgery 2 yrs ago that has affected me becoming pregnant?

Like may of the letters posted myself and my partner have been trying to concieve for 18 months now with no joy.Both of us get dissapointed every month with no glimpse of hope.People seem to be pregnant all around me and we just have no luck, i dont want our relationship to suffer just because we long for a child of our own.

I am 27 and my partener 29,we have been trying for a baby for 5 years now,we have had 2 lots of failed fertility treatments,my docter says this is probaly becouse im producing poor quility eggs,but nobody has told me i cant have children,so i will always have hope.all of my docters have been wonderfull,and have been a great support.and anyone who has been trying to concieve for more than 2 years deserves this and has the right to ask there gp for referals to there hospital.

hi, my names angela, me and my hubby have been trying for a baby for 10 years with no joy. We have both had two IVF treatments which both failed. We have run out of funds to have more treatment. Im 31 my husband is 32. Everyone around us has young children or are having babies. It really is upsetting for us. Though we just smile, deep down we both keep asking when will it be our turn. People and family dont really understand how you feel as they havent been threw it. Please have a second opinion from the doctors or hospitals which you might attend as we were both told that we were fine at the first hospital and that I had a high FSH and my husband had low sperm count at the second hospital. Im due to go in for a small opp next week to check for a blocked tube, cysts and endometreosis. So please dont give up I havent. The funny thing is this month I havent had a period in the last 44 days, but Im to scared to do a test. Hope I can help someone out there.
