27 months of ttc #1, any suggestions?

[Castastic]

DH and I have been TTC for 27 Months now. We've been married for 7 years and have been together since High School. He is 26 and I will be 27 next month. Got AF today and feeling pretty low and I guess it is just time to look for some support from somewhere.

The first year I took prenatals religiously and tried EPO to help with my CM. We use OPKs and sperm safe lube. I also track my cycle and can tell when an OPK will turn positive before I get it and can tell the day that AF will come by the way I feel. Also track my CM and Position. My cycle is from 22 - 26 days (on average it is 24 days so you can only guess how quickly the emotional coaster comes when I end up two days late ). I fear that it may be too short for implantation as O usually happens CD14-16.

Next Friday, DH is going in for a SA.

I am finally at the end of my rope and ready to speak with my GYN. I remember when I told her that we were going to begin trying, she expressed an almost unfriendly attitude and asked why I'd want to do that. However, she prescribed me the prenatal vitamins and listed a few helpful tracking websites. So, I am not sure how to approach her on the subject of trying for so long without even the slightest BFP.

Any suggestions of what I should bring with me? Any suggestions on what to try next?

Thank you.

Your story sounds so similar to mine. My husband and I are both 27 and have been together since we were sophomores in HS. We have also been trying for 27 months. However, the only difference is after one year my husband had an SA done that came back normal. I had lap this March and now we are doing our first IUI next week. I would suggest if you don't feel comfortable with you gyn then I would change to someone who is understanding. Also it depends on how proactive you both want to be with going forward. Feel free to ask anything that I might have not mentioned.

Thank you LGRJWR. Nice to meet someone who stayed with their high school sweetheart as well.

I think I've waited so long because I'm very afraid of what will be found and thought we could do it without intervention. My whole family is overly fruitful. They look at the opposite sex and BAM! Preggo.

Two years and 3 months of denial. ugh. I feel so silly.

Don't feel silly if the timing had been right you would have already done something but now you just take it one step at a time. The only reason I received help earlier was because we had been NTNP for a long time before that so I figured something had to be wrong. Keep your head up and I am always here if you need to talk or rant anytime.

I can't suggest anything I'm afraid, but also wanted you to know you're not alone. We're a bit older than you, but diagnosed unexplained (how annoying is that!?) after 29 months of ttc. I'm 34, my husband is 41, and whilst he is a bit older than me, we've been together for 17 years (today, I think??) and married for 5 (tomorrow! Yay!)
I don't know how it works for you guys, but over here I'd just request to see a different doctor if I didn't like/agree with the one I was with. You may find that she is more sympathetic to you once she knows you've been trying such a long time.
By the by, I've recently embarked on acupuncture to help me. Depends whether you're into 'alternative' stuff or not.
