hi all, i was just wondering have made appointment with doctor to discuss few things, but really scared they will just send me away until i have been trying for a year. its only been 6 months but that does seem like a lifetime to us all ttc. all i wanted to know really is there a test to tell if you are ovulating, i have tried those ovulation sticks but only slight changes noted and i am getting my knickers in a twist that i will not be able to have kids. thanks if any one can help x

hi fiz.if you make an appointment for day 21 of your cycle,the doctor can do a day 21 blood test.this will show if you have ovulated or not.good luck,love Gayle xxxxx

Hi
I think most docors won't do much until you have been trying for 18 months,so i've been told anyway.I think that is mainly because it is the average time its takes for a couple to conceive.I think it depends on your age aswell though, hope they do something for you hun.

good luck

hi fiz,what did the doc say? xx

hi all, well went to doctors, we had long discussion about everything, told me to bin ovulation sticks, try and de-stress my life( ha ha ), she also reassured me about my partners age and the big question i was a little confused with which was if you have a period does that mean you ovulate! and shewould do nothing for another six months which i am happy with, so i need to chill out and relax appartently, my other half says i just talk baby, baby all the time so probably very off puttin for him, anyway off on holiday next week so will have plently off time to relax and chill, thanks for all advice and concern it does really help to talk things over with you all xxx

Just to let you know, I've just got a BFP. Conceived on holiday ( the only month I haven't been obsessed.) Just relax and forget about CD days and symptoms.
Fingers crossed

hi Fiz hope you have a relaxing holiday. I understand where you are coming from. After ttc for 12 months my very understanding GP referred me to a specialist. to cut a very long story short we found out that although my periods were every 34-46 days, i wasnt ovulating, hence no babies within that time. I really dont want to worry you but every one told me to relax+ all that rubbish about how it will happen when it wants to. The thing to remember is you know your body best. After 1 month on the drug clomid i fell pg. i now only have 71 days to go! So good luck and have fun ttc. Remember-dont be fobbed off .
