How long to TTC before getting medical help?

Question

Me and my hubby have been TTC for about a year now. We've only tried tracking my period and guessing ovulation.

I'm getting discouraged and anxious and kind of bitchy. I seem to want a second child more than he.

I would like some help but not sure if it's been long enough for us trying on our own.

How long have you waited before seeking medical help?

Answer

Hi there! Two things that could help - do either of you take any cholesterol lowering pills? Hormones as well as sperm and eggs are produced with cholesterol - if you're cholesterol is being inhibited this could be why. Another thing - have you ever been to a functional medicine practitioner and had a blood test? I went and found I have two bad alleles for the one of the MTHFR genes - methylenetetrahydrafolate reductase- or in other words the gene that processes folate in the body so the body can actually use it. Many women have to take the bio active form of folate in order to get pregnant or maintain a healthy one. I really encourage you to go see a functional medicine doctor, a pediatric or women's health chiropractor, etc. many times people are unable to get pregnant because of simple nutritional deficiencies, etc. could save you a lot of money! Hope this helps!

Try getting and ovulation kit and tracking your Body Temp in the early morning when you first wake. 
My DH and I found out that I ovulate later then avarage. Also with trying to get pregnant you need to keep the fun in it or he's not going to be to happy. 
Also get the basics done before pregnancy a full Gyno check up and a sperm test for him. 
Their is also a website that helps with ovulation tracking called babyhopes. 
We used a lot of their advice and did get pregnant.
