Discouraged

[Vivi92]

Its day 23 and I am spotting like medium with light cramping I think my period is coming sadly I think my lutheal phase is very low. So the plan now is to go to a fertility clinic I am so discouraged like I don't know what to do its a very stressful situation when others around you have no problem conceiving you try every month to track ovulation but to no results its depressing +++ its affecting me more and more. I need some good positive advice. Thanks

Have you had your progesterone checked?

Not yet but I feel like its the signs I need it checked.

Definitely have it checked since short luteal phase along with spotting before period is a big sign of progesterone being too low and potentially preventing implantation.

I would say it's worth paying to get tests done, information is key. However when I was trying to conceive I was getting really stressed measuring my temp each morning, doing LH strips and grinning through gritted teeth as everyone around me got pregnant first try. My periods started getting shorter and shorter which had never happened in my life. My fertility doctor told me to stop doing all of the testing and just have sex every other day. Well the next month i was pregnant. After 9 months of trying. I really think stress ruins your chances.

Yes booking an appointment Monday the clinic is closed.

Yeah, I heard stress can ruin your chances I have been doing the bbt, testing ovulation and I even have the app Glow to track everything I feel like just stop doing those things staying positive but I honestly think my lutheal phase is short. Because I test positive for my ovulation been doing the baby dance on my fertile week. Anyways only time will tell seeing babies driving me crazy a bit
