Please help! TTC & losing my mind.
Hello ladies,
Just made this account about 5 minutes ago; really hoping to find some answers or direction. My husband and I want a baby like yesterday! But I am not ovulating and I don't understand. I feel frustrated and discouraged. A little background: I am 22, 5'8", 105lbs (I know some forums ask you that). I was on the pill for 7 years, and just went off it in May 2013. Since then, I have had a 52 and 81 day cycle- unfortunately I didn't know about charting until after those cycles. I read Taking Charge of Your Fertility and have been charting BBT, CF, and CP every day this cycle. I am currently on day 50 and haven't ovulated yet. I have been taking Fertilaid for 2 weeks, but haven't noticed a difference yet. My BBTs are kind of low- varying from 96.3-96.5 F on average.
So finally- why the heck aren't I ovulating?! I'm so ready to lose my mind. Please- any insight would be fabulous!!!!

I was going to say you seem to be underweight, have your thyroid check, that can cause issues, but easily fixed too. Acupuncture seems to have a ton of benefits. Never tried it but have read tons of post about how it helps with stress and infertility. Good luck and prayers coming your way
Yea, I've always been 115- for the past 4 years! But in the past month I lost 10 lbs for some reason!!! Ughhh, my body is self-destructing lol. Thanks ladies!!!
I second that! But I think I read in Taking Charge of Your Fertility that being underweight can cause anovulatory cycles...of course I'm not calling you underweight, but 105 is NOT a lot of weight for a 5.8" tall woman, so you might ask your GYN about that. Just a thought. Best of luck---I'm sure the news will be good!
I haven't gone since September. They told me since I was coming off the pill that it was normal. But it's been an additional 2 months. I am gonna call them in the morning on Monday. Thank you!
Have you been to your gyn? Perhaps it is time for a visit? I am not a doctor but two-three months between periods for a woman your age is not typical....good luck to you
