Hi everyone.
I'm on my fourth cycle ttc #1 (i know, very early). I'm 28 and have always had difficult periods which are irregular (usually 27/28 days but spot from day 24 onwards and my period can sometimes stop for a day and start again). I'm using the digital ovulation tests, which are showing me i'm either ovulating on day 17 or not at all. There are other signs (dryness-sorry!) which are pointing me to thinking I may have a luteal phase defect.
I know you have to wait a year ttc before you consider going to the doctors and don't want to pester them. But is it worth me going now to get it checked out? I'm doing everything I can to help it along myself (no alcohol, cut back caffeine, trying to eat better and taking vitamins) but feel a bit helpless. I want to give myself the best chance possible, and not ovulating/lack of progesterone is making me think there's not much point carrying on in the same way for eight months. Or is there?
I'd love to hear from anyone else who's been through it and what you did.
Thanks for reading!
