What do you think? - Trying to Conceive

OK..

So.. Me and my husband have been actively TTC for a year next month.

My periods are like clockwork, and I'm pretty sure that I'm ovulating.
The reason that I'm pretty sure that I'm ovulating is because I have been paying attention to my cervical mucus, and can see the change in it to what i've read it should be when you're ovulating. Also, 3-4 days after the day that I think I have ovulated, my boobs hurt EVERY month because of the rise in progesterone.

I dunno, usually when people are having trouble with ovulation their cycles are abnormal, but mine is... really regular.
I guess my question is would I be having all of these symptoms and pointers of ovulation if I wasn't ovulating?

Hmm, not sure. Have you bought an ovulation test kit? They also make fertility kits, both are pee on a stick kinds.

I would for sure get an ovulation kit. Because unless you temp and chart there isnt any way to know "for sure" if your ovulating. Some people actually cause their bodies to produce signs of ovulation or pregnancy, ecspecially if all you can think about is getting pregnant.

Has your husband gotten his sperm counted and everything all checked out?

We go in next month.. I'm gunna start using the ovulation test kits next month as well.. It's just weird.. My periods are ALWAYS normal. Nothing out of the ordinary ever happens that would make it seem like there is an issue (besides the fact that i'm not pregnant yet..).. I get them on time, they're never really heavy or too light. Always the same.. Hmm.. I guess the only way to be sure is to get tests done.

I know what they'll need to do to test my husbands sperm count, but what kind of tests will they do to me? Just curious...
