Alright, DH and I have been trying for 8 months now, we have to concieve , I am on a 32 day cycle - I know that I am ovulating - I've been to the OB she says as long as I'm having regular periods then we shouldn't worry and to stop stressing - Now Dh and I have been under quite a bit of stress, we just recently moved my 61 yr old mother out of the house that she had lived in for 30 yrs to a one bed room/ one bath room apartment-

You've certainly had a lot of stress recently! I'm so sorry about your uncle...and I hope your mom is adapting to her new living arrangements well...

Stress can definitely upset your body's hormones. I had one of the hardest summers professionally and personally, and it definitely screwed up my cycles and hormones. This month was the first month I really have been able to relax and be positive about anything, and I got a BFP.

I really hope you (and everyone else, too!) receive your BFPS soon!!!

I am so sorry you are going through difficult times! and i am sorry for your loss.

Stress can make you ovulate late or skip it altogether, so it can affect you. i one was very stressed about my aunt visiting, and just that made me 2 weeks late! i was surprised, but now i believe it all!!

Things will even out. i wish you luck!!

*hugs* sounds like you've been through a lot..the stress of moving your mother and loosing your uncle and then not getting bpt's for 8 months.

I'm so sorry for your troubles - and yes, I've heard that stress is a factor in conceiving as well. I can't remember exactly, but I think it affects ovulation specifically. Either way, even though it's hard, try not to worry about it. If your doc isn't worried then you shouldn't be either. Just enjoy the TTC fun as much as you can, and good luck!!
