    I have a question

    My understanding is that a couple is considered to have fertility issues when they haven't been preventing for a year and haven't gotten pregnant. Obviously, if the husband is out of town or something during ovulation week for most of those months, the couple might want to give it a little...

    The next step... seek help?

    If you have one or two factors that might affect your fertility (and your variable luteal phases might be a factor), it's probably not a bad idea to seek help sooner, rather than later. Obviously, you're young, so you have time to spare. I wouldn't panic, if I were you, but I might go talk to...

    Congratulations! What a beautiful name. Your baby girl's middle name is my first choice, if I'm ever blessed with a daughter.

    Fertility doc and clinics

    Some specialists (my endocrinologist, for example) won't even consider seeing you unless you have a referral from your regular doctor. And there are likely some basic treatments that your regular doctor can tell you about. At your age, if you're reasonably healthy, they might do the trick for...

    Fertility doc and clinics

    If I were you, the first thing I'd do is go to my doctor or OB/GYN, let him/her know that I was having problems conceiving, and ask for blood tests to see what my hormone levels look like. If you can find an OB/GYN with infertility experience, that's a plus. When you have a better sense of...

    I took vitex for a while but never saw any results. I'm hopeful that a more holistic approach will help me find a less chemical solution. Hugs, lovesdolphins. You're in my prayers, as always.

    Well, my hormones are (obviously) wonky, so the idea is that staying on the pill would regulate my hormones as much as possible. Then at the end of a cycle, I'd quit the pill and take Clomid and see if I can trick my body into ovulating. It sometimes works, but the chemicals scare me.

    That's kind of my thought. The only thing I could lose is money, I guess... I feel like my chronic lack of ovulation is really the sign of a bigger problem (well, PCOS, obviously...) but my doctors so far have addressed it by prescribing me birth control, Metformin, and suggesting I lose...

    I don't remember whether we've discussed this before on this thread: Has anyone tried reproductive acupuncture? There's a clinic that appears very highly regarded in my city that specializes in this, and I'm thinking about giving it a try to sort out some of my ovulatory issues.

    I certainly understand feeling stagnant! We're coming up on two years of trying to conceive, and I don't think I've even ovulated. I hope these treatments do the trick for you, LD.

    I've been trying to increase my overall health, but I'm likely to take Clomid as my first "official" doctor-supervised treatment. (My doctor concurs with lovesdolphins that the risk of twins is very small with Clomid, especially if you don't naturally ovulate very well. Apparently, many cases...

    I feel your pain, LTP. Without some kind of prescription hormonal intervention, I have pretty much indefinitely long cycles.

    The first year of marriage - what is/was it like for you?

    I've been married for about 2 1/2 years now. For us, the first year was definitely a period of adjustment. Not only hadn't we lived together before marriage, but we hadn't even lived in the same country until about a month before our marriage! Added to that was some financial stress as we...
