It's been awhile because I haven't had any success in trying to conceive (TTC)... It'll be 8 months on July 3rd. I have had two miscarriages in the past around September-August of 2012. It took me till sometime in November, 2013, I believe the end, to conceive my Son and to have a successful pregnancy. Even though, I had a scheduled C-section at 39w, 1 Day because I had Gestational Diabetes. My Son was 11lbs, 6oz. Perfectly healthy baby, but, 6 weeks after he was born, I had the mirenna IUD placed in so, around September 29th, 2014. I had the mirenna IUD taken out November 3rd, of 2015, so a little over a year. I called my OB/GYN to schedule a annual but she said I am not scheduled for one until November something. She was a total bitch about it, I am just scared I can't have anymore children. I have tried conceiving apps and everything, I don't believe we have ever had sex on the days I have ovulated, either the day before or every other day since my fertile window until my ovulation day because, I read if you have sex before you ovulate, you're more than likely to have a girl. If you have sex the day of ovulation or after, you're more than likely to have a boy. I don't care what l have as long as he or she is healthy but, I do already have a Son who will be two August 18th, so it'd be awesome if I had a little girl. I am also labeled as obese even though I don't look like it, I weigh between 194-196 and I am 22, my height is 5'3" or 5'2 3/4. I do know that when J got pregnant with Bentley I was dieting and exercising but, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with me getting pregnant with him, and I've just been too depressed lately because every month I get a negative test... What do you guys think?

Typically doctors don't intercede to try to help you conceive until 1yr of TTC, provided you are having regular periods and you are under 30. I would recommend trying ovulation tests to see when you ovulate, which is typically around CD 11 or 12 if you have 28-30 day cycles, and when you get a positive ovulation test have intercourse 3 days in a row. This is what I'm doing, along with using Preseed to try to boost my chances. I have been TTC for a year now with irregular cycles, so my doctor has put me on Clomid. But every situation is different. Try taking OPKs and using Preseed! It will happen eventually, try to stay positive and not stress too much. I am overweight also, so I have been trying to exercise regularly, which will not only keep you healthier, but will help you during your eventual labor and delivery if you start now. Also try taking prenatals. Prenatals prepare your body for a baby, and when you do conceive, all the extra things a growing baby needs will already have started. Good luck!
