hey ladies! My name is arianne and myDH and I have been ttc for about 10 months now. We do have one daughter together and are ttc #2. So I am confused. I have been taking my basal temp now for 3 months and I normally O on cd 17 well I am on CD 21 and my temp has not spiked. 5 days ago I had cramping and tender breasts for about 3 days and then went away. I thought I was getting ready to O but nothing happened. I ahve not yet talked to my obgyn about the difficulties we are having becuase I was told that they wont do anything unless you have tried for a year with out success. I don't know what to do. feeling kinda hopeless right now=(

hhhhmmm... maybe our not ovulating? you can go see your Dr. before a year, i went to mine when i was trying for only 9 months and now I'm about to take clomid I thought the same thing but they can to tests and check you out if you have concerns I couldnt have waited until one year lol i'd still be waiting and wondering whats wrong with me!!!! LOL

don't wait to talk to your dr because others have told you they won't treat you until you've been trying a year... do it now and see what he/she says. some dr's will start prelim testing or some commonly used fertility drugs prior to a year.

i know from experience that the stress of ttc can and will delay ovulation/screw up cycles. sometimes we have an annovulatory cycle and it just happens - not for any specific reason.

i would make an appt and talk to your dr about what has been going on. if they tell you, you have to wait a year, then at least you know and can plan accordingly. but if they proceed to do a little investigating now, you're the better for it. you've got nothing to lose to at lease ask!

good luck and let us know how it goes.
