Feeling down about TTC

[Snowing]

Feeling down about TTC already. I feel like I have so many issues. And I hate the Dr's because they never listen to me. I've switched doctors (GYNs) 3 times in the last year! UGH :*(

So I'm pretty sure that I have LPD from when I used to chart. I get spotting a few days before and after AF. Should I just go to the RE already? I went once about 6 months ago, and I felt like they bombarded me with tests that I needed (some I felt like might not even be related to what I had going on) and I never went back. I'm not the type to react well to meds, and the tests are too scary and STRESS me out. Should I just find a new RE? Or should I try for 3 months first? I feel so hopeless because no one is actually LISTENING to me. They treating me like everyone else who walks through the door, and I'm my own person with my own set of issues. We were NTNP before, and now wantto start TTC this month, but I'm just too depressed because I know in my heart I wont get pregnant.

Hi Snowing! How do you know you have LPD? How long or short is it? I spot before my period and the last day of Af is usually a very light/ spot type day and thats ok. I understand going to the doc is scary, and so are tests, but the more tests they run, the better! That way they can rule things out. Just make sure you get those results
Also, stress causes alot of hormonal inbalances so just stay positive and dont worry until there is SOMETHING to worry about.

Hi jchic! My Luteal phase is about 9 days. I spot 3-4 days before af and 2-3 days after. Af usually only lasts 1-3 days. Doesn't this sound like lpd? I am so upset because I can't find a dr that will listen. The RE I saw was really pushy so I didn't go back there. I guess i will try for a few months and then make an appt with someone new after i have a few fresh charts to show them. Thanks for writing back!

Hmmm, are you on prenatals? My suggestion is to take prenatals and perhaps a b complex...that should help the luteal phase situation. definitely look for a doc that you are comfortable with. Hope that helps and dont stress too much about it, ok?
