You need to see your doctor or family planning clinc for potential referral for fertillity treatment. They will know why.
You wont get referred to a fertility clinic with only trying for 6 months. Believe it or not, thats actually not a long time to be trying! Your best bet is to get advice about your fertile times etc if you havent already done so. Most people will tell you the best way to get pregnant is to relax and forget about it and just enjoy the practicing!! Good luck x
Sounds like a long time to me. You don't want to delay getting help and then discover that if you'd gone sooner something could have been done.

Aimee, please don't take this the wrong way, but how old are you?


And I have to agree that six months isn't a long time to be trying, although I know it must feel like it x

whether or not it sounds like a long time, it is not condidered a long time by the medical professionals so they will not do any investigations at the moment.


The only way you will get fertility tests done at this stage is to go private, and I suspect you will still be told to keep trying for a while longer.

Below is a quote from a fertillity website which gives you more detailed information according to your age. I hope this helps and is more reassuring than people trying to tell you something is wrong, because you really have nothing to worry about yet.


...'Most of the time, if you are under the age of 35, a doctor will not even begin any type of fertility treatment until you have tried to conceive for 1 year. Of course, depending upon how determined you are, you could potentially approach a doctor at 3 to 6 months should you suspect a problem. If you are between 35 and 40 years of age, a doctor will usually want you to try for a good 6 months. If you are over 40, a doctor will probably start testing and treatments as early as 3 months, if not right away. '

This quote is from http://www.thebabycorner.com


It took me 4 years to fall with my second child and another 4 years to fall with my third. However I then went on to have another baby 17 months later and my fifth was born 19 months later than that. Sometimes thing just take time.


It is such a small precise window when you can actually get pregnant and so every thing has to be just right. As a rule of thumb, provided you try at least every 2 or 3 days, you should have some success, but sometimes it just takes time.


BTW, have you recently come off the pill? sometimes it can take up to 2 years to begin ovulating properly again after taking the pill for an extended period of time. But the other posters are right, 6 months is not really long at all in the eyes of the medical profession, it's only 6 cycles after all. You normally get referred after 12 months, more commonly after 18 months.


Sorry can't be of more help

Amy 6 months is nothing in the scheme of things why not wait till your in a stable married relationship i know its fashionable to get pregnant at the drop of a hat but a baby isn't an accessory its for life .I get a bit sick of all this lets not ge married but make babies anyway crap and the problem is nowadays no one dare to say what they think its like calling the other half "PARTNER " for fear of upsetting unmarried mothers its really ****** me off.
collywobs, that is a very old fashioned attitude, not everyone wants to get married these days, i am not married and have a 7 year old with one on the way and frankly your comments come out of the dark ages, and i call my boyfriend my 'partner' or my 'boyfriend' cos that is what he is!

not a dark age type nor am I old fashioned at all I am just a realist call people what they are a lover a friend, a man i live with its all the same to me.


and boob it was just one opinion amongst many if you don't like it don't read it the whole idea of this site is I think for people to say as they feel about a question posed asking for replies, and I did just that


if you want people to agree with everything that you say then find a different site

hi aimee17, if your are young in my opinion you should just wait and let nature take its course.if its meant to be it will happen for you.you should make sure it does'nt seem like your having sex just to fall pregnant. if you are stressing out over not falling pregnant your bodie will react to this. try some positive thinking and some good old nookie,you'll get there! x good luck
