Glad to see you, Cup, and congratulations!
My temperatures have been really odd for the last 2 cycles. I'm not even sure if I'm ovulating. Has anyone tried an ovulation detection kit that they'd recommend?

Are you charting? You can usually tell that way. If you have to go through alot of ovulation kits, that can get expensive sad

I've been charting my temperatures using fertilityfriend, but it gives me either dashed cross hairs or no cross hairs at all. It looks to me like, if I do ovulate, it's either around day 9, day 15, or day 20.

I'm on day 9 DPO and a got a little lower temp. I guess it's starting it's decline already. I really had hope for this cycle. gonk
I had a miscarriage in March, so shouldn't I have gotten this again since then? Once it hits the year mark, that's probably going to be a good indicator that this is not meant to be and I should give it up sad

smile Or that you should go have a physical and talk to a doctor about it to see what your options are. When is your yearly due, it would be a good time to do it. It may be something on your husband's end as well, couldn't hurt to have him get a full check-up either.
The average 25 year old couple takes something like half a year to get pregnant and I know with my first it was pushing 8 months. It was discouraging and we were looking into getting checked out to figure out why we weren't getting pregnant. It didn't make it any easier that any friends we had that were TTC were successful in under 3 month's time. I took it personally even though I know I shouldn't have. It was hard to seperate it from being a reflection on myself as a person.
And you have to keep in mind--that despite how easy it seems to be for some to get pregnant--your chances in a given month are actually very low. I believe the number is somewhere between 0-25% any given month.
Just keep your chin up and take good care of yourself until you can get in to see a doctor about it. As redundant as the saying is, it's true: nothing is over until it's over. You won't know you can't get pregnant until you've tried all your options--as hard and disheartening as the process can be. A certain window of time can't determine it, neither can having a miscarriage. (Most women in my family have had at least one but have gone on to have children, it's very common especially early on.) You just have to remind yourself of the good things and remember it's not a reflection on you as a person or a form of punishment.

I had the miscarriage in March of 07. I then had a few long cycles in there. One was 50 days. Plus one cycle was just wacky. Hubby says I can't count it just as "a year" when the year anniversary comes up because of those factors. It worries me that we got it right on O day this cycle and still nothing.
I was considering pre-seed but also wondering if i'm just kidding myself.
Right now I'm trying to stay on my healthy eating track that I've been on for a bit over a week. Maybe losing more weight will help, but honestly my hopes are pretty low right now. I usually get this way at the end of another failed cycle. The only good thing is that the prenatals seem to keep my cycles in the 28-33 day range.

Sasha - after my miscarriage I had 6 cycles of perfect timing according to Fertility Friend and the ovulation kits (used those every cycle). Each time we "did it" day before, and most of the time two days before and on the ov day - and nothing!! i just couldn't understand it. I had really little hope too. And then I tried pre-seed and it...worked o_0 I don't know if its gonna work for you, or if it will work on the first try but, its definitely worth trying! I used a combination of pre-seed, trying every other day (plus the usual ovulation kit)

Optimism, while hard, is the only way to get through things! Before knocking down ideas and options, go in and talk with your doctor about your options. A year doesn't go by your cycles, just a year. Definitely a great time to talk about at your yearly exam. Hang in there, don't berate yourself and punish yourself when you still have options!
I hope you don't mind, but has your husband been in for physicals as well in that regard? I ask because my husband had a condition that the usual and only way to find about it, was through problems conceiving. His was of the more rare form of problems with varioceles, but they gave us a 75% chance of conceiving afterwards, thankfully it did work and he was out of pain.

*pops in* Hi! I still feel kind of new in this whole TTC process, especially seeing as how our first happened so fast and unplanned, so don't be mad if I ask ALOT of questions because I barely understand anything. My DH and I have been TTCing for about 6 to 7 months now. we did get pregnant in september but miscarried shortly after in october. I've been on prenatals and folic acid supplements the entire time and recently bought a basal thermometer about a week before I left CO to come back to FL. And now I'm still in the middle of unpacking and haven't gotten it out yet >.< I want to chart my cervical mucus and cervix signs as well but I don't even know how to tell the difference or if I'll know my cervix if I touch it. So uhmmmm....yeah. Hi again. sweatdrop
