TTC with no sucess. Highly depressed. Need suggestion on doctors

[Gracey]

If you only tracked your temperature once, and you only try 2-3 times a month, that's no very much. I don't mean that as a criticism -- just that you probably can't conclude that it's not working just based on that.
None of us here are doctors - if you have a condition like hypothyroidism, only a specialist can tell you if it's affecting your fertility.
As for pushy doctors -- they'll only push if you let them. Go in educated and confident, and ask for a fertility check-up. They'll do some blood work and a scan for you, and a semen test for your husband / partner. It's not super expensive, but will tell you if you have a genuine medical condition, or just some bad luck.
And if some unscrupulous doctor tries to push something you don't want, just say no. Most doctors here are fine, though.

Thanks Aquarian...
What u saying is true I guess... That's not enuff.. )

Hi prag, some women don't have any luck with opk kits, they are handy but the important thing is the temperature shift.

But I wanted to say 2/3 times a month isn't very often if you're ttc, it would be a good idea to try more frequently. Also, are you making sure you have intercourse *before* you ovulate? By the time your temp shows you have ovulated it will be too late.

Gracey...
As per you are saying I think I will temp and try for a few more months now.. May be 2-3 months.
If no luck...then will go for the tests.
Thanks so much.

The usual advice is to go for testing after a year of trying if you're under 35. As you're only been having ic 2/3 times per month and you don't know when you were ovulating, you could very easily have just missed the egg each month. I would recommend waiting at least 6 months, if not a year, before paying for tests. But temping and tracking cervical fluid will help you time things better in the future.

Aquarian, as per your suggestion I got the book : tcoyf . To my amazement , this book is so damn informative . Looks like getting pregnant is so easy ..

Lol! I wish it was always easy but sadly that's not the case for everyone.

I'm glad you like the book and I hope it helps. I agree it's very informative, girls should be taught this stuff in school!

I went to Dr. Derek Lo. Pm me if you need more details
I do agree with others. You have to be more "aggressive" in your action but "passive" in your mind while you are ttc-ing. It's not as easy as teenage mum reality show, one time and poof...lol
I personally tried 12 "aggressive" cycle. The cycle that I gave up, we got bfp

Passive ....got it.
