I'm debating about calling the doctor to just get checked out or something.
Cliff notes: I had a miscarrage (sp?) at the beginning of August last year. We waited like we were supposed (2 months) and then started trying again. We haven't had any luck yet. My birthday is this summer and I'll be 37.
I've been taking the ovulation tests to help get the best days and all that jazz. This month...I didn't see a positive day to ovulate. I mean maybe I missed it.
So, I'm started to get nervous about not being able to get pregnant.
Would you ladies call the doctor to make sure all my stuff is working or what?

run ... don't walk.
seriously, i don't mean to be an alarmist, but time is not a luxury we have at our AMA.
Yes, I would see a doctor but go to a reproductive endocronologist. Don't see your OB. I started TTC in August and have had no luck at all. Turns out my bloodwork shows elevated FSH/low AMH= low chance of me ever getting pregnant on my own. I will be starting IUI in 2 weeks. You may be totally fine and your body may just be healing from the miscarriage. But it can't hurt to get day 3 bloodwork done, just in case. You don't want to wait time IF there is something not correct. We can't get these months back.
As for the OPK's, are you testing 2 times a day? I have a short surge and I'd miss it if I was only testing one time a day.

Thank you so much ladies.
So, to make sure I've got this right y'all suggest going to a specialist vs. my ob. What kind of specialist?
A Reproductive Endocrinolgist. They are specialists in fertility/infertility. Most likely there is a fertility clinic in your area. Or your OB can refer you to one.
When we were first facing these decisions, I actually went through my OB. Now 5 months later we're about to have the first RE appointment, and I'm really hoping he doesn't require to retest everything I've already done. I think they won't since the offices are right next door, and they refer patients to each other all the time, but I guess I will find out this Friday.
The other thing I would recommend doing is to call your insurance to find out what they do/don't cover. Everyone's is different. Mine only covers diagnostic testing, but at least I had that covered! I know it's scary to first make the decision to make that appointment but they are experts in the field of understanding women's hormones, cycles, etc. and men's fertility issues as well.
Best of luck!
Thanks y'all. I'm getting scared since we haven't had any luck yet. And it did take almost year to get pregnant the first time (then the miscarriage )
I'll talk to the hubs tonight and start checking with the insurance tomorrow.
I appreciate it!
