    New Here--TTC 9 months--Need Advice

    Hi everyone.  I am new here.  My husband & I have been TTC for 9 months. 

    Below is my issue--can anyone offer advice

    I had been on the pill (ortho tyi-cylen then yasmin) for about 7 years.  Went off in Nov 07.  Periods were regular with a 28 day cycle.  Last month, had a 34 day cycle.  Today I am on day 35.  I was sick to my stomach yesterday, but I think that was to overeating the night before.

    For the last 2 months, I took a test on the day I was due & was crushed when they came back negative.  My hubby wants me to wait it out this time. 

    Any suggestions on why my cycle is getting longer & when I should take the test????

    Your cycles could be changing for a number of reasons.  The first reason could be stress.  You may want to bring it up to your doctor just to let them know what is going on.

    I know how hard it is to not test when you want to see the positive!  My hubby and I have been TTC #3 since December and I feel as though I should own stock in pregnancy tests by now!  I would wait a few more days before testing again.

    Have you tried using any ovulation predictors just to make sure you are ovulating.  I've been using one since Jan. and for the past three months I did not ovulate.  I am going to the doctor on Friday and hopefully he will be able to do something for me then.

    Good luck to you!  I hope you get your positive test soon

    I agree that bringing it up to the doctor is a good idea if you don't get that BFP this month... Stress could be a reason, but also you could of ovulated later causing your Luteal phase to be longer.  Ovulation predictors are great, and you can get them for cheap online.  Wait a couple days, and test... If BFN, then call the doctor explain the situation and ask them to do some blood work.

    Just a follow up to my previous post.

    I tested on Sunday morning & it was positive!!!!  I tested again later that day (because I was shocked) & it was still positive!!!!

    I have my conception confirmation appointment at my ob/gyn next week (that was the quickest I could get it) and am very excited.
