hi

i was in the shoe when i tried to get pregnant for almost one year. the same bbt, rise and fall... the best person you can ask about that is your OB. i went to my ob to ask why this is happining. she explained to me that lack of sleep may result to that kind of bbt rise and fall. one other factor maybe you are PCOS.

i am not a doctor but you have to ask your OB about this... best of luck!!

At your age even with bd'ing on the proper dates it can take up to 8 months (assuming your partner is the same age and you don't smoke). If either one of you smoke then it can make things a little harder.

I would set up an appointment for a pap and then discuss this with your dr.

Good luck.

hello! so are you ever getting a positive on your opk's???   if you are under 35 and trying for less than a year, i'd say your obgyn should be able to do initial testing.. a 7 day post- ovulation progesterone blood test will help show if your ovulating and if the progesterone is low.. if you have a 28 day cycle then get that test on day 21.. also one of the cheapest easiest tests to do when it comes to fertility is have your partner do a semen analysis.. tihs usually costs $90 and well he is half of the equation, so its important to know that everything is a-ok on that end!   there are SOOO many treatments.. if you are in fact not ovulating, thats an easy problem to fix. .. just a pill can do the trick! help you ovulate and conceive.. if there is a progesterone problem, they simply put you on progesterone supplements (most of the time though progesterone issues will have spotting in / or short luteal phases).  Your regular obgyn should be able to help you initially.. its hard to say how many cycles it will take, it varies so much from person to person. but sounds like you have been doing all the right stuff so far! : ) good luck and keep us updated!
