This feels so crappy. My husband and I have been TTC#1 since December and every month keeps getting more and more off. I've been tracking my periods for years so I would know when to expect af and they have been pretty normal until this year. I'm only 21 (but I don't want to hear "You got time!") and the past several months my periods have been very inconsistent.
The past few months I've been having "regular" periods every two weeks instead of once a month. So when I track my ovulation, it only shows a two-day window of fertility directly following the last day of these frequent periods (with no certain ovulation day).
When we first started trying everything seemed so normal with me that I thought I wasn't getting pregnant due to issues with him, but now that my body's being weird I think it's me. Neither one of us has seen a doctor yet, we were told by friends that it wasn't necessary until I got the BFP.. but I'm thinking they didn't know everything. My new insurance hasn't kicked in yet so I'm just at a stand-still.
The first few months I was constantly depressed with BFNs, and now I can't even get that far without bleeding for another week. I'm so upset but most people don't know we're trying so I can't talk to anyone. This just sucks. We're one of the few people I know who has done everything right.. together consistently for 5 years, bought a house, got married for a year and then started trying. I've babysat infants since I was 13. I know I'm young but we are more ready financially and mentally than most. We've tried so hard to make sure to do everything right and now I'm terrified I'm one of those women who is going to have to try for years with thousands of dollars out the window :'(
I just want a baby and now my period hormones are making me cry about it all. I'm terrified to go to the doctor and see what he says.. it's been 8 months and we've tried every. single. day. that I haven't bled.
On another note, I've never been on birth control ever.
