Oh how I wish this was the reason but I'm sure it isn't. Haven't taken one in a bit but I did and of course was negative.

It needs to read into the hundredths place not just the tenths

I haven't been using a bbt so I'll get one. Wasn't sure if it mattered.

I wish there was something that would help me ovulate. I feel so sad and defeated and broken. I'm trying hard to be patient. Each time I see a tiny temp rise I'm hopeful but it turns out to be nothing. Why can't my body cooperate. Is this just perimenopause? I'm just so not ready Screenshot_20200121-115350_FF Mobile.jpg

Perimenopause takes years though. People go on for years and years with irregular cycles during which they have weird cycles and normal cycles and you still have to use protection or else risk getting pregnant. Long cycles are never fun, I completely understand that this has been a terrible roller coaster ride for you, but it really doesn't mean you can't get pregnant, even in this cycle. It is always a possibility to go in for bloodwork (although I still think they're only going to give you numbers that sound scary but really don't mean much) to see for sure, but I don't think it gains you anything.

When and what would I go in for bloodwork? And I agree, please they write you off at age 35 here saying you are advanced maternal age!
I'd have to wait for a new cycle anyway though right?

But you can get pregnant in perimenopause. I’m proof. Since my last miscarriage,
my cycles are all over the place. I had similar issues with LH testing. I ovulated early and had a couple super early cycles (for me).
I had bloodwork done but FSH varies month to month so you will freak yourself out for no reason. My AMH was terrible 2 years ago and I cried buckets. Now look - pregnant.
Please take the advice other people gave me. Relax. Shift your focus. Still do your dtd timeline and keep your sway if it’s important to you (wasn’t for me; I was done so with swaying. Also didn’t actually intend on or expect to conceive) BUT please, don’t stress yourself out!!! You’re not out of the game.

Thanks so much dreamofdaughter! You definitely have given me hope that I will be able to conceive. The thought of not being able to is really devastating to me. And these losses are really hard because it's so not easy to get pregnant at all. I know I need to relax, it's so hard during these long cycles, I'm tired, frustrated and just want to ovulate and get nervous that I won't or that I'll miss it after all this time! Ugh.
I'm going to work on it though.
Thanks so much xo

I agree with all of this 1000%!! I conceived ALL of my children in perimenopause, with my DD in late-perimenopause! I will officially be in menopause come this March. I have only warned her for 7mo !
It is completely possible to get pregnant!!! Keep on keeping on and it can happen!!! I am continuing to pray for you, and I will keep sending super sticky Golden Egg vibes your way!!!
