Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hello Karish,Sunshine, hopingfortejas, Rupa........feeling very confused......I want your suggestions,,,,,,,,,,

I was hopeful enough this month about success, but I had my AF yesterday night. I don't know what's wrong. I haven't done any fertility check-ups till now. Now I doubt , I have to go for check-up since I am ttc for 6months with no luck inspite oh having regular periods. Actually, I would like to follow BBT or OPK ,but my hubby is very much against it, as he want it to happen natural, and not by measuring date and time. I am really in a very confused state what to do.

And could someone tell me how much it cost for fertility checkups in USA..i mean the PCOS, FSH and the other one..i think HSG. I have student health insurance and it doesn't cover all these. I can go for these tests only When I go to India, may be after an year.

Please suggest me what should I do now...???? hopingfortejas replied. I think that u can give it more time, technically u need to start worrying only if you are not able to conceive for 12 cycles acc. to US standards...i think this is more in India ...

But if u do want to do the tests, i think that the insurance will cover the blood work (with the copay ..) , generally most of the insurance covers all the diagnostic work...

and i think u dont need to get HSG done so soon .... i did my HSG only when they were starting me on clomid ... but my insurance (United healthcare ) covered it ...

i would recommend that if u do plan to do all the tests, get your husband also checked so that u can be sure that nothing is wrong with both of u ..

But as i said earlier, i think u can try again for atleast 3 cycles before deciding to see the doc.
And one more thing is i would recommend using BBT or OPK before consulting the doc, try talking abt this agin to your husband ... :)

Good Luck.

First of all please dnt worry abt all this..bcos darling its only 6 months tht u hve been tryng and it depends a lot on the rite time....u shld just think tht god feels its not the rite time..thts y he is not giving......wait for another 6 months and then go for a check up.

LIke sunshine said u shldnt worry mainly..bcos it matters a lot...stress can be a major factor in this....thts y docs and friends like us advice do not think abt it...it plays a big role..

forget all this tht u r trying for a baby and enjoy it while u do..then u can see the outcome.

so once again dnt worry at all....u will see the blessing tht god will shower on u soon.

tke care

Keerthi, firstly, please stop being anxious... Anxiety and stress does NOT HELP... Please remember to relax. I would suggest that you give it another six months. Try naturally... But please remember to be relaxed. Try to do things you enjoy... Don't make \";making a baby\"; the primary focus of your life... Be happy, enjoy each day... Don't put pressure on yourself or your hubby.
Please take care of yourself.

With love,
