Am i fertile?

Hi dear Indusladies,

Can you all help me with your valuable suggestions and help me in my TTC process. Myself and husband are 27yrs old. We have started to plan for baby for past 2 months. And i somewhat have doubt whether i am fertile? I dont know me thinking like this is right or wrong. I am actually very much confused. Let me give clear picture. We started TTC from Feb'09. But i got severe fever,throat infection due to bad weather in Feb. so i suffered a lot that time for about 2 weeks. I wasnt able to eat properly. again got cold in March for a week. so i would have reduced some weight. Then around mid March i got strecthy egg white cm one evening when i went to loo. I didnt give much thought about it.And we didnt TTC for next 2-3 days. Basically i wasnt much aware that it means i will ovulate the next day. So i missed the chance like a fool to make love the next day. So that March cycle was wasted by me. Then i thought i will use clearblue digital ovulation kit and determine my fertile days. But all my sticks got wasted and never saw a positive result. Not even one day. Then as clearblue was costly i bought cheap "One step ovulation strips" from amazon website. Then in May i used them from my 11th day (my cycle are generally 28-30 average and i get my period everymonth). Still in May also i didnt get any +ve line. Not even a faint line. i followed instructions correctly. checked everyday aroundsame time at 1.30pm. Didnt urinate for 3hrs before checking. Still no use. Then i saw in fetitilty friend about BBT check. So used digital thermometer everyday morning before out of bed. Still the temp didnt go up as done after proper ovulation. In March i very well remember that 2 days after i saw that egg white CM my temp was very high i checked in thermometer. So i didnt feel any such temp changes in April or May.

So i started researching thru net and mostly thru indusladies whether i have any problem with my body. whether i am ovulating or not. I came across PCOS topic. I have always had hair all over my body. I have small mostache also. And also hair near my stomach and legs etc. Then i noticed that i have a big tummy. Then got in to weight reduction process. Somehow i feel that as i had reduced my weight during Feb due to cold and fever it would have helped me ovulate in March. so i tried to diet. Couldnt do after 3days. So started walking daily for 30-40mns. And i am checking what i eat. Dont stuff like before. Just eat little little. Big mistake i have done these days is. During afternoons i eat stomach full and watch TV and as i get bored watching TV i used to sleep for 2hrs. So like a fool i have spoiled my health i think :-(. Now i dont know what to do. I got my period this month in 31days. Generally it wont take more than 29-30 days. My husband said that as you all of a sudden do all such exercise and trouble your body thats why its late. he is always very supportive of me but worried i shouldnt spoil my health and worry too much. my height is 161.5cms(53.5) and weight is 64kgs.

This month i have started checking my BBT using digital thermometer from day 1 of my period. i dont know whether i will ovulate. I am just inputting my temps in fertilityfriend website. Is it good. Will it tell i ovulated or not. Will it tell on the day or the next day of ovulation?

 

Hi Kites,

Thanks for your immd. reply. Good to know that you are ovulating every month. But i dont know whether i ovulate properly at all. Before Feb i never thought anything about my body. Just noted that i get my period every month. I never checked whether i am ovulating at all. From March only i am checking. And somewhat feel that is there any problem? This month i got my periods on June 1st. So I am tracking my BBT and inputting in fertilityfriend from this month only.And all 3 days including today is same temperature 97.7. If you dont mind can you tell me how your temperatures differs during mensus, pre and post ovulation? Also i have a doubt that how to conform that we have ovulated by checking BBT. All websites say that minimum of a temp rise of 0.4 F is needed to confirm ovulation. Is this true or anything lesser than 0.4 is possible?

Also, did you use digital OPK or OPK strips? I dont know which one is best.

 

Hi hydgrr and kites.. thanks for your replies.

hydgrr, can you tell me whether clomid is given to PCOS or any infertile person? Does it mean any problem with the person? Also as i had my ovulation in March (am very clear due to cm and temp),does it mean that i had ovulated only bcoz of the various medications i took for my fever in Feb? Or is it because of weightloss. I have started walking these days hoping will do good for me.

kites, so does the FF tell about ovulation only after its happened? also do you take temp only at same time every morning, or can it be 10mins earlier or later?

 

Hi Vasumathy.. thanks for your reply. Infact i was expecting your reply also as i've seen your replies in many such queries which is very nice.

Yes as you say, i need to maintain cool.I am a big tension party. I confuse myself a lot in this matter as i like children a lot. As both April, May didnt show any +ve opk results i am tensed. My husband is worried that i shouldnt spoil my health thinking too much about this.

These days i always have this question going in my mind "Am i fertile? Is everything fine with me?"

Does stress and thinking too much about this will reflect in BBT and OPK results is it? i never knew it.
