honoraurora · June 2014

Hubby and I have been married for 4 years, I'm 25 he's 33- ready to begin our family! The problems are adding up though we have never used BC but still having trouble conceiving....just had my first visit to the RE but he recommended several tests, Bloodwork, & ovulation tracking. Where/how do we even begin to navigate this?
HELP

Agree with newbie blog, tons of useful information!

Thanks ladies! I'm in need of support and info...heading to the newbie link right NOW!

So, to clarify- we have been married 4 years, no BC, i guess I never really considered it an issue and always thought that it would just happen. One year ago began speaking pregnancy with my gyno after a year we still weren't pregnant just had an apt with an RE he prescribed me some tests & Bloodwork. One of the women in the waiting room told me about this site as support and help is important during this process. & to bibliothecary I couldn't post for a few days clearly i missed the newbie blog no need to be rude....I came here for support just wanting a little advice on navigating this rollercoaster that is baby making.

We are trying to have a healthy pregnancy. I hope that support & something POSITIVE comes from being a part of this group, as I'm young and really looking for some suggestions from those who have already been here.
I sincerely appreciate the positive messages & sorry if I confused...I'm still learning how to even post correctly lol!
Have a great day ladies!

No one is being rude - your initial post was EXTREMELY confusing.

I understand now (I think) that you've been having unprotected sex for 4 years (aka "not trying, not preventing"). In the year that you've been more actively "trying", have you kept track of your cycles at all?

People aren't asking that to be condescending, they're asking because our sex ed system scares us out of having sex by teaching us that we could get pregnant any old time, if a penis just happens to poke you. But that's not actually the case, and a lot of us don't learn that until we don't get pregnant as easily as we hoped, and end up learning more about how our bodies and cycles work.

Thanks for the response, yes let me clear this up lol since we were married no trying but no preventing. And I'm so glad you said that because it was my impression that as soon as I had unprotected sex I would have a baby just like that boom, but it hasn't happened (YET) sorry if I'm being sensitive, I'm feeling kind of emotional lately like a failure idk what is my issue.
So, I haven't been charting or temping, just read the newbie blog last night so I'm going to get a BBT and begin that. Also, as soon as I'm on my cycle my RE is sending me for an HSG(?) Test so I'm basically just here to visit and talk to lots of ladies that have been there...would love to build some lasting relationships & of course have a healthy bundle of joy (:

Also, fertility friend has a lot of helpful information on charting and trying to conceive in general. Check out their videos and education section also! Good luck!
