Trying to get pregnant

My wife and I wanted to get pregnant but we had no luck so far since I just had a reversal and so we went to the doctors and the doctor was sharing about having sex a certain time during the month and so forth and if that didn't work come back in. Does anyone know what the doctor would most lickly do next?

There is a possibility that you would get referred to an IVF clinic if deemed appropriate, or maybe you could choose to visit one privately. It has to be said that they do not promise a 100% chance of conceiving, but it is a step in the right direction. Discuss all options with your healthcare provider and perhaps look at reviews regarding a clinic you may be considering.

Since your reversal have you had a semen analysis if not that would be the first step

I would also be interested to know if they have done the semen analysis since reversal? Was there any analysis done before the reversal to check for sperm antibodies? What the length of time was between getting the vasectomy and the reversal?

I believe the shorter the period between vasectomy and reversal the more likely the success. Also the presence of sperm antibodies will give an indication of if you will be fertile again.

Assuming your semen is OK, DON'T have sex at specific times of the month. JUST FUCK.

MANY couples have had sex at textbook times of the month only to find the woman didn't ovulate on a textbook schedule.

Friends of ours were in that situation and were about to give up, but after much further testing found the woman ovulated five days after her period. They kept missing it because they would have sex at a textbook time.

I agree with Susie, couples stress about getting pregnant and once they relax and just have sex, they get pregnant! You can try doing it the time she is ovulating but if it doesn't work, just do it whenever you feel it's right.

Next, the doctor would want to get your sperm tested if you haven't done that yet especially since you had a reversal and then your wife's fertility and options would be up for discussion too. Just keep talking with your doctor and keep your options open.

It sounds like your reversal was recent ... the longer it has been the less likely the chance of conception. Now what your doctor is telling you is sound advice and he / she likely believes you are in fact fertile but should have given a bit more data on ovulation. Aside from having sex all the time, not always reality, go on the internet and research detecting ovulation based on the basal body temperature technique. I'm not going into all the detail here....this is a natural and quite scientific predictor of ovulation based on specific shifts that occur just prior and during ovulation. Pay attention, don't be lazy about it, and if in fact you are fertile this will work significanlty to increase your odds of conception.

If it's still an issue then explore this further with your doctor as there are many new advanced techniques to obtain completely viable sperm even in difficult cases

Well me and my husband had been trying to get pregnant for approximately a year and something and we gave up hope until we talked to a friend of his in AR and he told us that it took them 18 years for him and his wife to get pregnant. So after much thought and consideration we did not give up we continued on having intercourse regularly and finally in May of last year is when I believe I got pregnant with our baby girl Taylee. I am due in less than 4 weeks and so far it has been a pretty good and uneventful pregnancy. And the way that I found out that I was pregnant was me and my husband were sitting on the couch in the front room watching the TV and an ad for Subway;s turkey and avocado foot long and I looked at my husband and said that's sounds good, He turned his head looked at me and your pregnant. I told him that I was not pregnant and that was it. Well two weeks later my father got a home pregnancy test for me and I took it and it showed up that I was pregnant but it was a faint positive so I went to my local health clinic and they had me take one there and it showed up better on theirs than mine. Long story short after we found out that I was pregnant we celebrated with joy and happiness.

My wife and I have been trying for 5 years talked to fertility doctors they all said before they would help she had to lose weight. She has pcos and losing weight was next to impossible. So she had gastric bypass and lost a hundred pounds. Dr had us try for a year that ends in march so next step is clomid.
