Just so bummed

This is our 5th month trying. AF is due Sat. Took a FRER test this morning and got a BFN. I knew in my heart it would be - have all the symptoms of AF.

Used Deanna's plan this month. Got two smiley's in a row on the OPK. Prayed all the time. Thought it was our month.

I was lucky enough to get pregnant with DD on my first try. I am so lucky, I know. But I am 36 and I just feel that something is up with my body.

I just don't know what to do next. My OB said to give it six months and then we will go from there.

I am just sad. Blessed with what I have, but fearful that I won't be able to give DD a sibling.

I feel broken. Chat Icon

Chat Icon I understand your fears completely, I have a DD as well and am going to be 35 in November and this is our 2nd month really trying (Deanna's Plan as well) and AF is due tomorrow. I just keep thinking how easy it was with her. But fearful that we are going to have problems this time around. You aren't alone, this will happen! Chat Icon

Sorry you are feeling down about this Chat Icon

I can imagine how frusturating it is when the first time around was so easy. I have no DC yet and have been TTC for over a year. We started our testing back in May and if we don't get our BFP this month, next month we start treatment.

I don't want to worry you, but I remember people telling me to go with your gut. If you feel like you are doing everything and timing is perfect, then don't be afraid to start seeking out answers. I know they say it can take up to a year, but after seeing so many ladies on this site come and go after a few short months, I just couldn't sit around waiting any longer. And even though we have yet to get a strong answer as to why we have been unsuccessful thus far, I am glad I started the testing when I did and only wish I had done it sooner.

HTH and best of luck! Chat Icon

Thank you so much. And your right, I need to go with my gut. I just don't know where to start or how to go about it. Do I contact my OBGYN and ask him to do testing or do I go right to a RE? I heard great things about Dr. Braverman, and I have no problem going ahead and contacting.

Good luck to you too! I know it must be hard to see all the BFP and the people posting who already have DC's but I really appreciate your advice and support and will be praying for your miracle! Chat Icon

Thank you.

I would start by going to your OB/Gyn. Ask him/her to give you a prescription for an HSG and CD 3 bloodwork. Also, they can give you a script for a semen analysis for your DH. That is a good start. That's what I did and after getting back good results, my OB/Gyn said to wait another 3 months and if nothing, he would send me for an IUI. I didn't want to wait the 3 months so I called LI IVF and made an appt myself. My insurance allows me to do it without a referal. I would also recommend temping to confirm that you are in fact ovulating.
