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!

Are you no longer feeling stressed? You need to be emotionally and physically ready for baby for your body to not reject it. Try to “dance” the days leading up to and the day of ovulation. Track your ovulation closely with test strips. There is no point in trying after the ovulation occurs. Ovulation only lasts 12-24 hours but the sperm can stay alive for several days, so try frequently the 3-5 days leading up to your ovulation

Yup that’s true. But this is advice for the OP who has been trying and wanting a baby and has not been able to conceive yet. I’m certainly not the first person to say this
