My boyfriend and I are middle school sweethearts and we have finally decided to try and start a family. For 9 months we have practically been having sex every day maybe 3 days tops inbetween we wouldn't. I have weird periods where i skip every other month,so it's hard to schedule anything. I'm still not pregnant, i don't know what I'm doing wrong. Seeing a negative on every test i take is heart breaking. Please set me up with some useful advice. My boyfriend and I are ready to have one of our own, it's just not happening.
Dragonflymagic answered Monday July 21 2014, 5:56 pm: As the other advice person said, we can take this two ways, that you are 18 or older, adults now and have known each other, been together since middle school. If so, I assume you want us to know that tho you aren't married, you are a stable couple which is needed is deciding to bring a child into the world.
The other way we could take it is that the two of you are currently in middle school and want to get pregnant now, while still not done with highschool.
For one thing, theres no way to financially provide for the baby let alone have time for a baby when you have school yet, so school falls by the wayside, you both get stressed as the demands of a baby.
Hopefully its scenerio number one.
Has the boyfriend had his sperm count done by a doctor? If it is low, it could be due to something simple as what underwear he wears. Guys who wear boxers or nothing, have higher sperm counts than those who wear briefs that hug the genitals closer to the body all the time and the body heat lowers the sperm production. Animal farmers have known this for ages and used the tying of lets say the male sheep genitals close to the body so they would be less likely to impregnate a ewe as there was some reason they didnt want some traits from that one passed on.
If he's wearing briefs, try that first. Otherwise have him see a doctor. You may want to get a check up also. And finally my advice is to get something that monitors when you ovulate. You can find that in a certain online or ask your doctor what they recommend. Women who use these ovulation detectors, have had greater success getting pregnant as long as there was no medical reason preventing them from doing so.

"Middle school sweethearts" like "high school sweethearts", meaning that they've been together since they were young, not that they are young now. If you're at least 20 years old, continue reading. If not, are you crazy? Wait!
Lots of people have trouble getting pregnant. It's not uncommon at all. The best thing that you can do is schedule an appointment with a doctor especially since you have an irregular cycle. It's possible that all you need is a fertility drug. It's also possible that one of you is infertile. A doctor can help you with everything. Good luck!
adviceman49 answered Monday July 21 2014, 5:03 am: Am I reading this correctly? You and your boyfriend are still in middle school and you are trying to have a baby???? Are you two crazy? Do you know what it takes, and I don't mean the sex, to have a baby and raise it to be an adult.
If I have read this correctly and you two are teenagers; thank your lucky stars you are not able to get pregnant. You are far too young to be having sex or thinking about starting a family.
How about finishing high school and college first. So you can get good jobs and have the money to buy the things you need to have a family. Things like a nice home, cars, FOOD, health insurance and clothing. What about the dental bill just about all children need braces and dental insurance covers about a third of the cost which in todays dollars cost parent about $1,500 to $2,500 per child.
I will be the first to admit that sex is great. Cuddling a baby is one of the high points of ADULT LIFE. The operative words there were ADULT LIFE.
If I have read you correctly then other advisors will as well and you will not get the answer you are seeking.If I have miss read your question consider rewriting it so we understand how old you are. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
