Problems ttc

My younger sister has just been told her body has entered early onset menopause. She has been ttc number 2 for over 3 years after falling pregnant first month with her first. Her estrogen was a measly 0.4.

I have been ttc my number 2 for quite a while now and have begun charting my bbt. My chart is all over the place, looks like peaks and valleys, or sharks teeth with so many temp surges and drops.

My question is:  should I be concerned about also having early onset menopause?  Would this explain my chart?  

My sister has just turned 29 and I'm 32 in Jan

Thanx for ant help or advice you can give

He did nothing. I'm so disappointed as he is usually really good. All I want is bloods taken to check all my hormones, especially as temps are still all over the place and OPK always negative. Not sure what to do now???

So my doc told me what i originally thought...although i have a period everymonth, i dont always avulate..he said according to the temp charts ive been keeping he cant sau for sure i ovulated at all over the summer cause my temps were all over the place..so he gave me  a fertiltity drug---100mg of serophene to take on cd3-7..which ive done so its now time for me and hubby to get down to business and see if we cant make a baby before xmas! hopefully this first round of serophene works for us!  
What have you found out yourself at ur appointment?? Good news i hope!

hi..i've also been ttc for around 19mths now..had all the bloodwork done, fiance's sperm checked, etc...and i also had an HSG done as well..everything came back normal. my bbt is like yours..all over the place..hard to tell when i ovulate..and my period doesnt come the same time every month..my point is that just cause your bbt is all over the place, doesn't necessarily mean u are going into menopause early..im not and my bbt is llike yours..its frustrating as hell!  i have a doc apt in a couple days to see what our next step it..he will either tell me nothing is wrong and keep trying or maybe putme in a fertility drug such as clomid...not sure. all i kno for sure is there is nothing more stressful and frustrating than not knowing why you cant get pregnant if everything seems to be "working right"! Hope u find some answers soon..goodluck!
