just dont know where to turn!

hey girls, so after a late mc in feb i started ttc straight away, every month was the same, we would dtd every day during the month but just all bfns... i started getting a little crazy so decided when i went on hols (24th aug) to take it easy and relax and not be mad ttc lady lol... anyways my last period was 6 weeks ago, i feel absolutely rotten and have put on alot of weight, which could be down to holiday bloat but i took a test today and got another bfn...

i just dont know where to go from here, if im not preg then theres obviously a problem i mean why would my cycles be over 6 weeks long??! and if im not gettin AF then im obviously not ovulating. i used opks in june/july but still didnt get anywhere. im totally stuck in a rut and really getting down...... help!

Do you chart your bbt? Even if you get positive OPKs, you could still not be ovulating. Charting would confirm ovulation after a positive OPK. If you aren't ovulating then that definately explains why you keep getting bfn's, but there is medicine to help you ovulate. So I would think that the first thing to do is figure out if you are ovulating or not. Have you talked to your doc? I know that a lot of docs don't like to see patients until they have been unsuccessful for a year, but if you tell him/her you think that you aren't ovulating will they see you?

ive spoken to my doctor who said give it another while that after a mc its normal for a womans cycle to be up and down, i bought a bbt but i dont know when to start charting now because i havent got AF yet so i have no cd1 to go from! thanks for the reply hun xxxxxxxxx

So sorry, I know how hard it is waiting for AF. I hope everything returns to normal for you quickly!

Don't worry hun talk to a fertility Dr. and get their input and do the necessary tests. some women even get periods and don't necessarily ovulate every month. Some say every day may lower the sperm count? not sure but I heard something like that before I think that is why some women do every Other day instead.

The beauty of bbt is you can start anytime. Get yourself a free FertilityFriend account or similar and get practicing.
Maybe give it another couple of weeks to see if you get your period? Anything longer than that and you could ask your gp to give you something to bring af on and let you start fresh (bbt, opks)...
Good luck!
