Hi there!
so a little about me - my name's Kerri, I'm 24 (today lol) and married. I have a beautiful 3 year old and have now been trying for number 2 since April 2013, so 18 months.
DD was conceived within 3 days after my period ended the first month we had a chance to make a baby and completely unplanned (we were using condoms) so the longer it takes to male baby number 2, the more confused I get and the more worried DH gets that he's infertile and I cheated (not something he'll admit to but I know him lol)
Immediately after having DD (in South Africa with terrible medical care and pre eclampsia and really bad bleeding) I went on the injection as birth control. After 6 months of near constant periods I went off that and had the implant put in for 13 months. I had depression and was on fluoxetine for 13 months too) I had no periods at all on the implant. I had that removed in april 2013 and have been trying ever since.
Now! I know sometimes it just takes a while and I'm still young but my issue is my cycle length. This is my 11th cycle since I had my implant removed. It took 6 months for it to come back in the first place and since then my cycles are anywhere between 19 and 56 days. (This one currently is 53) I have ovulation tests and I do ovulate, I also check my bbt to confirm it. I have about a 14 day LP.
I have had hormone tests, iron level tests and all sorts and everything has come back clear. My GP wont do anything as I have a baby already and we're young and all the tests are perfectly normal...
this month I had the usual positive opk and then temp jump, but my period didnt start when it should have (a week ago). At that point my temp had dropped back down and I took an hpt today which was negative. So I simply assumed I got my O date wrong. It's been a rough month so I havent paid as much attention as I normally would.
but I havent had a cycle less than 40 days (except for 1 32 day) since March so it's really discouraging havign to wait so long before even havig a chance to conceive...
oh I should mention I'm 5ft9 and about 65kg so my BMI is perfectly within the normal range
it's really really starting to get me down and as I said, I have had a history of depression so please please help
thank you if you've read this far! And thank you in advance for any advice
