After trying for DC2 for a year. He drew an alarming graph that showed how my fertility had dropped off a cliff at 36 and said it was convinced the problem was my age. OK prepared to accept he may have a point.
However he also told me not to bother with opks and to make sure we have sex on day 14, as it is the first half of the cycle that is fixed. This is a contradiction to everything I've read and I'm fairly convinced I tend to ovulate between days 18 and 21 having a longish cycle.
He is going to do a test at day 20 to check my hormone levels but I'm wondering if this will work if I'm not actually ovulating until around this time or later.
I came out the docs feeling quite pessimistic and of course DH took everything he said as gospel as a real doctor surely knows more than doctor Google
