Trying to get pregnant

July 08, 2008

My fiance and I have been trying to get pregnant for a couple of months now and haven't been able to. I get some symptoms of pregnancy but then a normal period. I have taken home pregnancy tests and all have been negative and I've had one blood test done. I took a pregnancy test on July 3rd (the date my period was supposed to happen) and it was negative. My period happened today (five days late) but it's lighter then normal. Is there still a chance I could be pregnant?

Welcome to FertilityTies,

Unfortunately, little chance of being pregnant :( The reason you have these symptoms is because Progesterone which is secreted after ovulation, is the same pregnancy hormone that gives you these symptoms

Any advice on how to get pregnant?

You're doing everything right, it takes time upto a year for the majority of couples

Is there anything I could do or not do that might help? I don't drink or smoke and I have almost completely cut out caffiene

Could my fiance's smoking be affecting our chances of getting pregnant?
