Hi everyone, I'm a part of the TTCAL board but I think after 10 cycles i might qualify as TTTC and I have a cpl questions that might fit better over here so I was hoping I could be part of this community as well??

A little background: I'm 31, DH is 33 and we stopped taking preventative measures in October 2013. It took 15 months to conceive the first time (OB wouldnt label it as an issue bc DH and I lived in different states at the time). Unfortunately we miscarried twin boys last May at 18.5 weeks. We were cleared to TTC in August but my periods kept getting progressively longer (33, 36, 40, 44) and finally in Dec we confirmed I wasn't ovulating (progesterone was <0.5).

I started Letrozole in Jan, had 2 ovulatory but unsuccessful cycles and then got super frustrated and decided to stop taking meds and see if I could get my body back on my own. First cycle after meds was 50 days long and no +OPKs so I'm assuming anovulatory. Currently in second cycle after meds, got +OPK, but 6DPO blood draw showed progesterone of 0.51 aka still not ovulating, ugh.

My OB won't refer me to an RE until we reach the one year mark in August and has been telling me that all I need to do is destress and then I should be able to get back to normal. I don't know how to not stress when your body is doing absolutely nothing it should be?! I'm currently on CD 34, no sign of AF and worried I'll have another 50 day cycle. If I keep trending this way I'm only gonna have maybe 5 more cycles in 2016!

Anyone out there struggling to ovulate?? Done anything that's helped that wasn't meds?

Hi. I have not experienced what you are going through but I can understand your frustration at the Dr. telling you to just destress. It seems to be a common comment for people trying to offer advice when you are TTC. I can't even keep track of how many people have told me to 'just relax and it will happen'. Like by just saying it, I will automatically feel better. I find it has had the opposite effect, followed usually by a sudden urge to throw something.

@hoffmanr7 those comments definitely have the opposite effect, I get so angry and upset whenever I hear them, far from destressed. Grrrrr
