"June 6, 2008 Q: I&amp;#x27;ve been trying for nine months and haven&amp;#x27;t gotten pregnant. Should I seek help? A: It depends. Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a year of trying--but it is taking you a little longer then most women. About 80 percent of young couples conceive within six months; about 90 percent within a year; and 95 percent within three years. But if you don&amp;#x27;t want to wait that long or are over 35--when fertility starts to decline--see your ob-gyn. I give my patients in their mid to late thirties a fertility workup after six months of trying. To maximize your odds of conceiving, have sex every day during the six days leading up to ovulation. Since every woman&amp;#x27;s cycle is different, I tell my patients to pay attention to their discharge--it gets clear and heavier around that time. And try to relax. Stress can interfere with ovulation and make it tougher for you to get pregnant. June 5, 2008 Q: I am beginning to think that something is wrong with me. I am a healthy woman in my thirties with what I consider to be a pretty normal sex drive. However, once I have an orgasm, my desire decreases and I no longer want to have sex. It can sometimes take up to three or four hours before I am ready for round two. Do you think I can be repaired? A: You are not broken! After you have a wonderful, all-consuming orgasm, it is not unusual to have a decreased desire for sex. After all, you&amp;#x27;re probably pretty satisfied with that one orgasm and would prefer to bask in the afterglow, right? Men have a refractory period after ejaculation in which they can&amp;#x27;t get another erection. Women, on the other hand, don&amp;#x27;t--they can have an unlimited number of orgasms without stopping to rest--but many find that there is no mental or physical need to continue. You are normal. Relax and enjoy. June 4, 2008 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
