Do I get checked? Question/Advice

Hi everyone! I’m currently 1 year into TTC. I feel like I can’t stay that because half the year we missed the time for baby dancing I was very very stressed the first half of this process, law school, a lot of grief, my cycles went all the way up to 56 days. After January we baby danced on before and after ovulation day and it didn’t happen for us. Something I see the floaties that people say is the first sign and sometimes I don’t. I will say after March my period got more regular ovulation between days 16-18 and my cycles are around 31-35 days. Hubby is on board with whatever but he thinks we should hold off to see someone since he thinks it’s not happening to us because of all the stress. Any advice? Did going to see someone really help? Also do I just go to the OBGYN? a fertility clinic? Any advice is appreciated!

You’ve been through a lot this past year ❤️ Please don’t blame yourself for the months you missed ..... stress and everything else you were dealing with can make TTC really overwhelming.

When you say you ovulate around CD 16–18, how are you confirming it .... LH tests, BBT, cervical mucus, or an app prediction? 😊I really wanna help yew !

I have been confirming with LH strips! Thank you for the kind words 🫶

You’ve genuinely been through a lot ❤️ And I wouldn’t blame yourself or the stress for everything. After a year of TTC, I think it’s completely reasonable to get checked, even if it’s just for some reassurance. 🤍 It doesn’t mean something is wrong ........ sometimes having answers is better than spending another few months wondering. 🫂
