Advice?

Hi all, me and my husband have been ttc for 1 year and 4 months now.... i know there’s women on here that have been trying WAY longer.. but I ’m starting to get a little discouraged :/ I haven’t been to the doctor yet to get things checked out, because I’m terrified of getting bad news :( we both want a baby more than anything. We tried preseed this month. Period is expected to start in 5 days... Any advice?
