TTC for 4 months...

[Amanda87]

Getting tired. Doing everything right for a while now.
I thought this time we'd nailed it but just got this period annoying AF...

My Doc is supposed to refer me to a specialist cause I'm 35 and I feel like this is going to take forever!

Any words of wisdom?

Hi @Amanda87 I'm also on cycle 4, TTC for first time, currently on CD20 with AF due next Thursday. If I'm honest, I feel we are not going to be able to do this without help and I'm just waiting until the 6 months are up so that I can go and see my GP. I'm 39 an my husband is 51, so time is not on our side!
I have every hope that you and I are successful soon and have good news to share!

You might have some luck in the next few months as my 35+ friends did, but you might not (like me and others 35+). Get the referral process started as soon as the six months comes is my best advice, if they haven’t started the process already.

I had an appointment to get high strength folic acid and the GP said to give it 9 months and go back if we don't catch. We are 38.
We are only 2 month TTC (CD19) but I hope they will refer us at 6 months, not 9, if we aren't successful. I have no idea about ovulation this month as didn't get any highs on the OPK and my temp hasn't increased like it did last month.

Hi @pinkpirlie nice to hear from you! Was the high dose folic acid something you requested or were offered? Just wondered what brought that about, if you don't mind me asking.

Hey!!
I requested it as my BMI is above the recommended for needing high folic acid. I'm around 31. And if you're over 30 it is recommended.
I've lost 10kg but still have a long way to go to be optimal for conception.
