hello all. 26 yrs. old and ttc for 12 mo and no luck. going to dr. thurs to see what she says. hopefully will recommend testing, maybe not b/c only have been charting for 3 mo, 1st 3 mo, tried to time it myself, then next 6 used opk, finally charted the last 3- might tell me to chart for longer. i am so glad i am going to discuss w/ dr. i feel like i could maybe finally get going somewhere with this. tired of waiting... this is renewing my hope! wish me luck!

GL to you! I have just started my testing, and it does give you a feeling of empowerment. We have so little control over all this TTC business and at least the testing gives you some control. If you've been using OPKs and charting I'd say that's quite enough to satisfy your Dr. If you WANT to start testing further...stand your ground. It is your body and ultimately your decision. We really have to stand up for what we want with these Drs sometimes. If you want to know anything about any of the testing, let me know! I'm becoming an expert!LOL!

I hope your stay with us here is a short and sweet one!

GL! Tara

Thanks. I am ready to stand my ground. I have everything ready and I've even rehearsed what I will say if she tries to make me chart longer. I'll definitely check back with you for what to expect during testing. You're right about feeling more empowered. I feel like I've been running in place getting nowhere so now it's time to try to do something else about it b/c what I've been doing obviously hasn't worked. I wish you luck as well!
