Ttc for 12 months what's the next step

[g3org13]

We have been tttc for 13 months now. We are both 32 and we are now starting to get a little worried. I have hashimoto disease and a very stressful job- I wonder if these thing are effect our chances?

I have been using opk for the last 3 months and it appears I am ovulating normally.

Help and advice welcome.

The next step is to see your GP and ask for a referral to a fertility specialist. Dr Google suggests that thyroid troubles may need monitoring during pregnancy and may make it more difficult to get pregnant but this can be corrected with selenium supplements apparently.

Hopefully if you have a few basic tests done and your partner too then they will be able to help you get pregnant faster.

Thanks for advice. Really frustrating

Go to the GP but be aware that once you get on the fertility clinic/treatment train it's very hard to get off and it can come to dominate your life. Talk to your partner about what impact this might have on you in the medium term and make sure you're both in the same page because it will make all the difference if you're doing it together.
Don't worry about the stressful job thing. If work stress is affecting your sex life that can have an impact -obviously- on conception chances. But work stress per se is not something proven to have an effect. Remember women get pregnant in the midsts of plagues and hurricanes :-)
