Trying to conceive

Shasha2016

Hey,

So I'm going out of my mind thinking all sorts I'm 25 and my partner is 27 we have been trying for 6months and getting no where.

I know it takes time but when do we draw the line and speak to a professional?

Thanks

Are you tracking your cycles and using ovulation sticks? The recommendation is usually a year of trying for under 30's (or 35's maybe) then 6 months over. Its no harm going to your doctor to check your bloods, etc.

My cycles are very spot on very 28 days. I used ovulation sticks the last 2 months and got the positive reading did the business but obviously still nothing. I will check in with the doctor for bloods. Thank you 😊

Can I suggest hopping onto the reddit forum tryingforababy? They are awesome and there is a bucket load on information to be learnt. Not saying it will help but it might feel like its useful in the meantime.

Bloods are no harm either

There is so much info out there on forums but I would recommend a book called Taking Charge of My Fertlity. Really helped me understand how everything works, it should be taught in schools.

Definitely should be taught in schools. I was horrified at how little I actually knew

Best of luck. And for the positive, it can take time and it can still happen. It took 10 cycles for me this time but I’m here 31 weeks. I was only 2 cycles off heading in for tests. Fingers crossed for you

Men are even more clueless.It's pretty unbelievable.
