Well...

[thejibstah]

showed up so I've made an appointment with my Dr.

Before we started TTCing I had a gut feeling that I'd either get pregnant on the first shot, or we'd have trouble. Unfortunately it has turned out to be the latter.

I'm confused, do you have a history of fertility problems?!?

Nope. No kids or any prior TTCing. I just had had a really strong gut feeling for like a year or more before we started TTCing that I'd either get pregnant right away or that we'd end up having trouble. Like I'd be one of the two extremes.

Ok. But I'm still confused on what makes you think that because you didn't end up pregnant on your first try that you're automatically "having trouble."

No, we've been trying for months!

I was just saying that I had a feeling before hand that it would either happen right away or we'd have trouble.

And this month was kind of the point that if it didn't happen I knew I needed to speak with my Dr about it and get that process started for us.

How long have y'all been trying?

[mrsgalloway]

Don't all go jumping on her back now. Sounds like you have been TTC for a year now? That's when you usually visit the doc. Don't give up hope

Lots of luck, Jamie. I hope they find an answer for you so that you guys can work it out and have your babies!

We're on to month 7 of TTC. Now before anyone says that's not long at all and that "they" say to wait a year before you start to worry, here is why I'm making an appointment with my Dr.

Before we started to TTC I read Taking Charge of your Fertility. So I have been tracking my cycles as well as using ovulation test strips the entire time we've been TTC. So it's not like we have been just not preventing, we've been actively trying.

It's recommended that if you are tracking your cycles you speak with a Dr after 4-6 months of being unsuccessful, no need to wait the full year since you for sure know when you're ovulating (or if you aren't) and are having during peak times.

I'm sorry Jamie! You don't have to defend your decision. It's been about 8 months for us too, and I'm considering a doc if I get another too. I hope you can find some answers or get knocked up! Good luck and my PM box is always open!
