<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hello, Here is my concern. I have been married for almost 2 years now. When we were newly married,we decided to take some time to go ahead and make a family. For a couple of Months we used condoms to prevent pregnancy. Later,on my partners request,I stopped using condoms and used to penetrate directly and leave the semen outside when I am about to cum. From Last December we decided to have a baby and started to leave the semen in my partner s female part. We regularly have sex and we do have a gap of 1 or 2 days in between sometimes. It has been almost 5 months now and she has been still getting her periods and not able to get pregnant. What can we do and what are your suggestions?? I am a Male 23 years old and My partner is also 23 years old. Awaiting your response. Thank you.  <response>: Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question. It is normal to take up to 1 year to conceive. Trying for 5 months and not being successful is completely normal. Here is what I would suggest: 1. The first day of her period is day12. Most women ovulate around day143. Abstain from intercourse except for days 101214164. If it gets to a year of trying without success, have her see an OBGUN I hope that this helps.
