Is it just too late for me, or has anyone else experienced this (and still had success)?

Question

Hi all!

I've only been tracking my body symptoms since my last AF (way back on 4/7!!) in the hopes of figuring out a baseline of when I actually ovulate so we can be more proactive about getting pregnant (duh...just like everyone on this app, I know), BUT...I've had ZERO symptoms since starting this adventure. AF is VERY late, all ovulation tests and pregnancy tests (they're cheapos) say negative, no pregnancy symptoms (did gain 2.5 lbs in the last few weeks for no reason AND extremely sensitive/emotional...hormones?) I went to the dr for shingles a few days ago and was too embarrassed to bring up that we're trying to get pregnant because every other dr I've ever mentioned it to just rolled their eyes and said, "Yeah, good luck with that." re: my age.

I guess I'm basically asking...am I in full blown menopause now and I should just give up? I know the answer is to go to the dr, but I'm just so embarrassed to be menopausal so young 😔. I just turned 46 last month. Prior to this last period, everything was steady as she goes. I'm just baffled.

Answer

Well, I will be 45 this year and went to see the Dr, did blood test and scans and all is fine so she said keep trying. Good luck to you.

Answer

Im 43 and in the past years I've had a missed period or 2 and then it came on time the next month. My Ivf dr told me it was normal at this age. Don't be embarrassed to ask the Drs though. It's very common.

Answer

Personally I'd keep trying as long as the disappointment does not cause you harm. Nothing ventured nothing gained! That's what I'm working for now as also feeling too late now. But keep hoping. Good luck x

Answer

Can you get all those tests from your primary care doc? Or do I have to go to a fertility clinic? I'm hesitant to do that because I'm not comfortable with hard-sell tactics.
