quick update : Deanna is a queen and her plan works!!!!! I recommend for every woman who is struggling to get pregnant to try it. Worked like a charm in our first try.
I've looked. I will go through it with a fine tooth comb :) Thanks a ton... looks like facinating reading for sure.
they have wonderful things there they suggest like a fertility detox etc, you may just need something like that, take your time and go thru everything its fascinating reading, I'm following alot of there things and even if you end up by needing the help of a fertility doctor alot of there info can be helpful with that as well :)
Thanks sachasmommy, I will look that up as well. Everyone has been SO helpful, I couldn't have asked for a better forum. My husband is a fan of the SSBD and BFP acronyms also. :)
Thanks stacey10, I will look into that. :)
That is helpful, BreymanCoen. I will talk to the insurance people tomorrow. We have decided that no matter the cost... it's worth it. We will just work that much harder to try to afford the healthcare that is absolutely necessary. (An evil necessary but a big one none the less.)
Congratulations on your expected joy... I will be praying for a smooth birth for you and your family. I will update when more information is known.. (My cycle got heavier as the night wore on... seems like it is in fact my period that was 6 days late.) We are heartbroken but counting our blessings that we have time to "get right" before we try again.
also jump onto this site and take a look and see what you think, there maybe info in there that you would like to try as well :) www,natural-fertility-info . com ( spaced out so its not xx out )
Thank you, Swtshae. Very encouraging and helpful. My husband came home and said this is the nudge we needed to do this right. It wasn't enough to just say "Let's have a baby" and then "start trying". He is going to have their insurance person call me tomorrow to get the ball rolling for me to get covered through his plan at work. I will see what it does tomorrow... if it lessens or turns into my normal (or heavier) cycle. I have been cramping all evening like it is a regular cycle. I'm sorry to hear about your conception troubles. Best of luck to you and your husband, I will follow your progress on here and thank you so very much again for your helpful information. I did have insurance for a stint about 2 years ago and had that doctor test my levels and she said everything looked normal (estrogen, progesterone, hormones). She also told me that I should see a fertility specialist to be sure. I will talk to the insurance people tomorrow and start that ball rolling. <3 XO
I think u shuld seek a fertility specialist
I don't know it this will help or not but figured I would share. I had a son 10 years ago, tomorrow, & have been in 2 serious relationships where bc was not needed & never conceived. It wasn't til 2008 I found I had a thyroid disorder, blah blah blah lol & started treatment, had my mess changed about 3-4 times to lower my TSH. I am now pregnant & due July 2nd. I have read healthy women with even a slightly higher TSH level, over 1 even, have a harder time conceiving. Just food for thought. Good luck & keep your head up!! :-)

look up Deanna's plan...tried it this month and I think it might have worked...hoping for a confirmation on Friday.
You are correct, Swtchae. Never used protection... Never had any close calls... this was the closest call. We have been having unprotected sex for 6 years and nothing. I assumed that I just can't have children. This is why this new development of being 6 days late was SO encouraging.
My app for ovulation tracking was downloaded in Janurary (Husband said on New Year's... "let's really try this year, lets grow our family) and has verifyied that my cycle has been 27 - 28 days... I was supposed to start April 11th. I woke up this morning (April 16th) to more than spotting, I have filled 3 very thin panty liners on the front half over 6 hours time today.
If I have a full flow tomorrow, I will know it is in fact my period and it was 6 days late for the first time in my life. (From age 12 to now, age 33) It has swayed a day or two here and there over my life time but NEVER 6 days.
Hi. I just want to make sure I understand you correctly. You've never used protection since you've been married but recently (the past 4 months) have been purposefully trying to conceive? If that is the case, as soon as you get insurance I would schedule an appointment with an OB. Let me first start out by saying I am NO expert. The average time period it takes to conceive within your age range is at least a year. If you guys have never used protection then that year is definitely up if not pass due and I think you should have become pregnant already. However, if I've misinterpreted your post I apologize and suggest that you maybe try to use OPKs or temp or something to try to conceive and once the year is up and you haven't conceived yet, then make an appointment. Good luck!!!
The average is about a year to conceive for most couples. The best thing I can tell you is that you need to try every other day from CD10-24. that was the actual script that my fertility dr gave to my husband. Its still early in your trying so they won't send you to get testing for fertility yet (you have to be actively trying for at least a year for that) but you can start temping and keeping a log. It'll help you narrow down when you ovulate and that can help too.
I had regular cycles until I had a miscarriage and then every month I got disappointed when the test was negative but i was still late. best thing is to try and let go of the stress too of trying. its only going to make it that much harder.
Has anyone been through something similar with good results? I would LOVE some similar stories... I am really distraught and upset. I honestly thought I could not get pregnant, then this close call, then nothing. I feel like I am back to square one of not being able to conceive. Coming up on my 34th birthday with never even a close call.. this is the closest call I have had and now I am on a very light flow 6 days late. Maybe time will be my only comfort if this is not what I think it is...
