4 anovulatory cycles.. Is it time to make an appt?

[militarywife5]

My husband and I joked about how easy it was to get pregnant with our first three... However, this time around, we are really struggling. I am 31. As soon as we decided to TTC, I have been temping and testing for ovulation... My body always produces the hormone for a positive OPK, but something fails in the process because my temp stays the same throughout my cycle and I get my period at some point (irregular). After four cycles, do you think its time to make an appt with my OBGYN? Or should I wait a little while longer to see if this is a weird fluke.

Four in a row? I'd make an appointment. Or at least call. Did you chart before your other pregnancies?

I never charted with my first three. My cycles were very regular, so I just BD on what I thought was the day a I ovulated (day 14).... And it never failed. I assumed I would not have an issues with this pregnancy, so I did not chart the first attempt.... But after not getting pregnant the first try, I decided to chart and I my temperature never raised enough (nothing past .2) and it was not a consistent rise. I am all over the place. I called my doctor and she wants to see me today. I was just about to cancel thinking that I was jumping the gun, but saw your post and thought I would keep the appt. Thanks! Tiffany

That's awesome that your doctor got you in so quickly. Hope it goes well.

She did blood work to see if something was "off". She wanted to wait a year before she prescribed clomid. Thanks again!

I agree with waiting to prescribe Clomid and im in almost the same boat. I will admit however to never temping or charting. I got fed up when i tried, i am smart enough that i understand it, i just dont like it.

If nothing comes up in the blood work you should see if you can get an U/S and more testing.
