Feeling a little down
Im only a few days into the 2ww and for some reason I just feel like this is not gonna happen this month. I dont know why but I just have a feeling. This is our third month of trying and I am already feeling defeated. My cycle was off last month and now I am thinking the worst...that there is something physically wrong with me.
Ive always had irregular cycles before the pill but only after being off the pill for a few months, my cycle was regulated...until last month. I really want to call the dr and just have them make sure there is nothing wrong with me to ease my mind but I dont think that they will see me just yet since I dont have any pre-existing problems. DH thinks I should just lie to them and say we have been trying for 6 months but I dont know.
Should I even attempt to call the dr if we end up being out this month? Or should I just keep on trying?
Thanks for reading

Re: Feeling a little down
First off 
2ndly I don't think you need to lie to the doctor but call them and tell them that prior to going on BCP you were not regular and are not again. I am not sure how much the will do this soon on but it can't hurt to call and talk to someone.

I know it's easier said than done, but try to remain positive about this cycle. Don't give up hope just yet. I personally don't know if you should lie to the dr about your TTC history, but if it is really driving you crazy then maybe it's a good idea.

Re: Feeling a little down
Thanks girls for the advice. I had a woe is me moment and since no one knows we are TTC except DH and I (and all you girls) its hard to talk to anyone about it.
My mom has ovarian cyst issues and had a hystarectomy at a young age due to uterine cancer, so I guess since I have that family history it makes me paranoid.
I am going to try to relax and take baby making off the brain and just put it in God's hands. I guess that's all I can really do.

Re: Feeling a little down
 I'm sorry you're feeling so down. The 2 WW is tough. Try to be positive. As far as calling your Dr, I don't think you have to lie. If your cycles were irregular before BCP and are again, I would talk to your ob. Good luck!

Have you spoken to your doctor about family history? I'm sure if you call him with your concerns he can put your mind at ease.
I wouldn't suggest lying to him-I feel like thats bad karma. Tell him your frustrations, maybe he has some pointers!!
PS-The best TTC advice/insight I ever got was from friends that have kids/and/or pregnant....we haven't made a secret about TTC -believe it or not, hearing other people's journeys to mommyhood might just give you the hope and positive outlook you need.

I have spoken to him about my concerns and he basically told me not to worry since theres nothing wrong with me now (this was years ago...pre-TTC) I go yearly for my exams and everything came back normal so I guess I am just stressing over nothing (and spending waaayyy too much time googling things)
My mom had another ovarian cyst recently and had it removed along with her ovary and I guess thats whats getting me nervous and making me think...IDK
Yea I decided not to lie but if we are out this cycle I will still call and see what the dr says.
As for talking to people, I have talked to my cousin who I know had a hard time getting pregnant w her second...took her a year! And then she decided to go for her third and BAM gets pregnant with her third on her first try! I guess I gotta just relax and just let it all happen. All we can do is  and wait and see.

I agree with this. I just went to my OB/GYN for a regular exam on Thursday. I told him all of my concerns and everything that DH and I have been doing to TTC. We are not up to 1 year of unsuccessful trying, mostly because we started out with just not being careful. But I told him that I was on my 4th month of the CBEFM, that I'm concerned with how heavy my periods are and that there have been at LEAST 4 months of very good timing, in addition to the 4 on the monitor. I have to say, my Dr. is GREAT. I've heard a lot about doctors who will just shrug you off and tell you you are fine and that you need to wait until you have been trying for 12 months.
My Dr. gave me prescriptions for bloodwork, an HSG, and a SA for DH. He told me he is very confident that I can get PG on my own and that I just need to be patient, but if I wanted to take the next steps, he would be happy to help me out. He even ran some of his own tests to bypass a few steps IF we need to start seeing an RE.
I have dropped in on the Infertility board and asked opinions from girls over there as to how and when they made the decision to take the next step in their TTC journey, and many of them agreed that they wish they had gone sooner to an RE. That being said, you mentioned that you have been trying for 3 months. If I were you, I would give it another couple of months. Set a benchmark for yourself, and each month, maybe add something new to your TTC regime. This is what I did and it did help me to feel a little more in control by trying new techniques.

Re: Feeling a little down
If it makes you feel any better, one of my friends had the hardest time getting pregnant! She and her hubs tried everything-temps, OPK, CM, etc etc...
8 months and absolutely nothing! They were freaking out, had lost all hope and thought they'd end up having to adopt.
Finally on the 9th month her and her DH totally gave up and decided to go away for a weekend. Well they got completely trashed and partied it up for a few days, and of course
Guess who got pregnant on month 9?
