Is Fertility Monitor A Good Diagnosis For Detecting Ovulation Days?
Question: I had bleeding problems in 2011/2012, hence the letter attached which was due to stress of my Nana passing away and everything is now back to normal. I have attached the Ultrasound Scan Report, everything is back to normal now and has been for 12 months. My Day 3 FSH was 4.2.
I got married in July 2012 and we decided we wanted to try for a baby. We have never been consistent with intercourse for about 3 months and I am the Clearblue Fertility Monitor. I thought I was not ovulating hence I bought the fertility monitor. This does show that I am ovulating (I think).
I really want to conceive naturally, do you really see this can happen for us? I am overweight but have lost 2 stone, currently weighing 16 stone 7 pounds, so currently still overweight but still trying to lose more weight. My husband has cut down from 30 cigarettes a day to 10 cigarettes and drinks within the alcoholic guidelines (lager or bitter) other than a Saturday.
I have seen a Gynaecologist who sees no problems in me conceiving and says I have a good egg reserve for my age. I have attached some reports to help you answer my questions. My Gynaecologist says I do not have PCO as my blood work is all good. My own GP is also not concerned. I am going to bed every night crying thinking I will never conceive naturally.
Please don’t ask my partner to have a semen analysis done as he doesn’t want this and says if it is meant to be it will happen naturally. Can I have an infertility check to see if I am in working order without my husband attending?
I usually have a regular bleeding pattern 24-28 day cycles. Never have pain or any kind of problem. I have attached my bleeding chart. This cycle I spotted on day 13 and 14, Clearblue fertility monitor went to 3 bars on day 17 and 18, but my cycle has been unusually long to 34 days, where I am on average 27 days. Is there something wrong with me or am I panicking too much? All I want is to get pregnant naturally, with no intervention is this possible?
At the end of the day all I want is to be a MUM, do you please see this possible my reports and see it can happen naturally?
I can’t afford anything privately it will have to be on NHS my own GP won’t refer me as he thinks I am panicking over nothing.
1. Is my FSH on day 3 of 4.2 normal?
2. Do you agree the fertility monitor is a good diagnosis for ovulating?
3. Do you see I can conceive naturally?
4. Can I have a infertility check for myself and if so how do I go about this?
5. Any suggestions please to help me achieve what I really want.
6. Am I stressing out too much?
If Clearblue fertility monitor shows 3 bars do I:
1. Ovulate
2. Release an egg
3. Should I conceive naturally
Everyone seems to be getting pregnant at the drop of the hat and poor me is still here trying. I want a baby so much.
Do you see I have PCO or do you see all be fine.
Another thing that confuses me is Fertility Monitor shows Ovulation, but Ovulation strips do not. I think I am getting myself into a Frenzy and should just use the Fertility Monitor and forget ovulation test strips. What are your thoughts please?
Can I get pregnant if husband smokes and drinks beer? Even if sperm is low can you conceive eventually, husband will not have semen analysis done
