Feeling like a failure

Christine
Hi all. My bf and I have been ttc for four months. I'm due for my period this week and so far, I have all the symptoms that I'm getting it: sore breasts, cramps, headache. I can't help but feel deflated every time I get my period. I've been doing bbt and ovulation tests for the last month. I'm 36 and he's 40. At one point do you think we should go to the dr? 😢

My doctor told me at the 6 month mark use opks for the next 6 months

I wonder how long specialists are booking out too. I've thought of scheduling something? You can always cancel if you don't need it! I feel you, I hope our luck changes too ... I worry about letting time pass if something can be done to help, but yet it would obviously be preferable not to need any intervention.

I'm right there with you. I'm 37, bf is 41. I've heard to wait 6 months before going in, but it's hard when you know something can maybe be done?

I hope our luck changes quickly! I was told six months but then someone said if you're over 35 you should only wait 3 months. My bf and I have agreed that if we're not pregnant by the end of the year, we will go to the dr in January but I think I'm too impatient to wait

Oh, and I'm at 4 months ending and not pregnant again. It's like a punch to the gut every time!
