Hello everyone

I have been debating on whether or not I should go to the doctor...I am just scared that something could be wrong with me. My DH and I have been ttc unofficially for I am guessing 6 months and officially for 6 months...grand total of 1 year. I have to go to a new gyn because the last one I went to made me feel stupid. Last time I went in for prolonged period, she didn't give me any options or advice...all she said was, "well your irregular, so we wont do anything until you missed your period for 3 months". How can gyn's know if irregularity is normal without doing some sort of tests??? So I am not trusting to go back there.

My last cycle was 27CDs, previous one was 46CDs and the two before that were 32CDs.

I just started using the CBFM last cycle and didn't get a peak (15 highs!)...and so far this new cycle, I have gotten highs (no lows) from CD6 (I am now on CD 10).

Maybe I shouldn't worry so much....
Thanks everyone!

I thought my cycles were irregular because they would be 24 - 31 days and my doc told me that was within normal limits. I would look for a new doctor. My doc told me that even though I am Oing and I am doing things right I may still need to see a fertility specialist because of my age ( I am 35 and will be 36 on the 25th) and try to put me on Clomid to produce more eggs.

You need to find another doctor to help guide you down the right path for you and your OH. I would ask some friends what doctor they use or even look for one who maybe specialize in fertility.

Good luck and I am sending you some extra
take care!

I think the last gyne you went to see was out of line. Her job is to reassure you, and she obviously didn't do that. If it were me I would look for another doctor and make an appointment with them. Good luck

I know how you feel. Not once have i ever got a positive OPK reading. Not once. And I used to be so irregular with my periods (three months, two months, four months, one month, etc) that I worry that I am infertile.

Add that to the fact that my BBT is so bloody low that I am wondering if I have some kind of thyroid issue (my mum has it) but I am just worried about going to the doctor.

I had a phone appointment last week and am going for a blood test next week (on day 21) but the woman on the phone could not have been less helpful.

I worry that I will have to wait 12 months before anyone will do anything if there is a problem.

I worry, too. You are not alone.

(hugs)

hey avistar! I would go to your doctor and get hoemone blood tests done! Ive never had a definate positive on opks but my bloods said i was ovulating but my progesterone was slightly low...theres so many things i think that can be slightly out of whack! It could be something that can be easily sorted!

Thanks everyone. I am def going to a new gyn. I am sure that everything is fine, and that I am just paranoid but I would like some supporting evidence if you know what I mean haha.

Don't most doc/places have to refer you to a fert specialist?

avistar

EllaCruz, good luck with your blood test! Hopefully the people are better in person than that lady over the phone.

I always think the fear of going or what they might find is always worse than it actually is, if i don't get a bfp i'm going to go as my cycles have been all over the place so think it's worth getting it checked out x

yeah they do i got refered to a gynacologist by my general doctor but my gp did the blood tests for me so its quite easy to get them done!
