Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

How are you? I was curious as to how long you have been ttc. This is our 12th month ttc, debating on whether to seek professional intervention or not. I did see partial ferning this morning so maybe ovulation is nearing, how about you, where are you in your cycle? What kind of advice have you received from others ttc? I get all kinds of advice, some good...some kinda out there! Did you know about taking baby aspirin once a day...81mg pill. It increases the blood flow to the uterus so the baby can implant easier. I did that a month ago but did not follow through with it this month. It is hard enough remembering to take my temp in the morning and all of the other charting. I will be so happy when I dont have to do any of this anymore!
I wish you a great day and I hope to hear good news from you soon.

How are u doing?I just got my periods.I was actually waiting for my period as I didn't expect much to happen this cycle.Regarding my ttc we tried for 2 years before we went to the Doctor and I was diagnosed with endometriosis.Since last 1 year I have been on the treatment with surgery and medication.I am just off the medication.I will be starting with a clean slate hopefully from next cycle.The doctor says because I am young there will be no problem and I am on the right track.

My advice to you is that if you are nearing 30 or above go to the doctor otherwise you can try 2 or 3 more cycles and then go to the doctor but there is no harm in seeking doctor's advice because if the doctor thinks you can try some more cycles she will tell you the same.Meanwhile why don't you try this cycle without monitoring your ovulation or anything.Don't use OPK.Just have regular sex during your most fertile period.Say starting from 10th to 20th day.Don't even monitor your saliva after the fertile period because this just raises hope and anxiety.If we have one problem by stressing ourselves we are creating another problem.Good Luck and let me know what u think.
