Dr. John agony auntI have recommended the use of a basal thermometer to many that have then had a high rate of success.

You can obtain one at most any pharmacy and they usually come with a chart and instructions.

They are more sensitive to subtle temperature changes and will tell you when you are ovulating and of course when the best chance is for you to get pregnant. Doc

Did you get checked after the miscarriage? How far along where you? You need to go to your Doctor because this could be why.

I don't think the pill makes it that much harder, people get pregnant on the pill lol. I'm pregnant after being on the pill for almost 3 years, I'm 17 like you where. I wish you alot of luck, maybe don't use protection but try not to think about getting pregnant. People usually fall pregnant when it's not the right time, or they aren't even thinkin about it.

Hi,

You should just not think bout it my and my boyfriend tried for a year and then when we decided we were going to concentrate on something else for a while it happened while we were on holiday. I think stressing out over it lowers the chance.

GOOD LUCK xxxxxx

Moviefan agony auntAre sure your ready after reading all the other posts?

IF you still are chances are the other posts are right the miss carriage probbably is causing the problem, the best advice i can give you is just have your jusband when he cums get in as deep as he can, you should help doing this as much as possible also. And do it as often as possible, less aged sperm has a longer range then a few days old sperm. There may be less sperm if you do this but there more effective at there job and it only takes one to do the job.

Good luck!

buddys agony auntI have heard it takes an AVERAGE of 2 years (so that means sometimes more) once you quit the pill to get pregnant. But if you're worried, I would seek medical advice. Sorry I can't tell you what exactly to do. But a doctor will be able to. Hope everything works out for you.

Why have you been trying to conceive for 2 years with a boyfriend? Why not get married first? Do you think anyone can commit to raising a baby for 18 years, if they won't even commit to a marriage? Think about what is best for your baby. The pill doesn't stop you from ovulating, all it does is put hormones into your body that fool the sperm into thinking the egg is already fertilized, so the sperm doesn't even try, and when you go off of it, your hormones regulate and the fact that you were on the pill in the 1st place will not affect your ability to get pregnant now. The miscarriage is more likely the culprit as far as what caused your miscarriage in the 1st place? It could be that your hormones aren't in blalnce, and you may have to get tested for fertility and hormones, and if there is an imbalance you may have to get put on medications. But insurance will not cover this. Everything in your body has got to be in perfect balance in order to have a sucessful pregnancy, and if you're short or over in a certain hormone(s) it can sabotage any efforts. I have seen this happen with some of my friends. I'd say get married, have an education, get a home, then worry about getting pregnant. Not assuming you don't have an education, or a home but since you've been trying since age 20 I think the chances are slim. Having a baby doesn't make life easier, it makes everything ten times harder. I know from experience. And I wish I'd have made different choices before getting pregnant.
