When is it time to worry?

[Abixxlou]

Me and my partner have been together nearly 3 years. From July 20 till June 21 I was on the pill. And whilst being on the pill I fell pregnant but had an early loss. We haven’t been using anything since I come off. I was tracking my period and ovulation to make sure I wasn’t going to fall pregnant as I was getting married. We lived apart until October 22 and decided in the august to start trying.

i wasn’t concerned until my partner brought it up he is. You see I’m just not sure when I should worry? Next year? Or now? I stopped tracking my ovulation as I just was worried I was taking the fun out of it. But now I’m thinking I should?

any help would be great please be kind we’re first time TTC

It can take up to a year to conceive naturally even if there are no issues - so you've only been trying for three months?

Tracking ovulation is handy as at least you know you're trying at the right times. LH surges don't guarantee an egg is released, for that you would need to be checking your temperature or you could get basic bloods done at GPs, three months is very early to be worrying, I don't think you need to be concerned yet

That’s what I was thinking. As i don’t know if I’d even class the first two months as trying due to not BD on the days we’re supposed to die to not living together. Just when he said he was concerned I thought..should I be?

I usually get cramping and an egg white discharge. So I presume that’s all normal with regards to ovulating?

At this early stage I would only worry if you have any other causes for concern like irregular/long/short cycles. These are worth checking out right away for underlying causes that might prevent ovulation.

If not and you're under 35, doctors will want you to have tried for a year before going in for tests as even under picture perfect conditions, it can still take up to 12 months to conceive
