I probably wouldn't push for any blood tests at this point, only because you are only 3 months in. You could ask for any tips or things your doctor thinks you could do, but other than that it sounds like you are well on your way to baby

@Chillybear: Well you could ask that question for sure! Good luck

If it helps, my average temps while TTC were 96.8, and I also couldn't tell much by my CM. I had a tough time getting pregnant initially, but it was more b/c of me being on BC for 10 years and my cycles being incredibly messed up from that. it took 84 days to get my first cycle off of BC. Then my average cycle length after that was around 45 days.

Right now, just ask your doc if there's anything you should be doing differently. Most docs won't send you for any kind of testing until you've been TTC for at least 12 months unfortunately. Just keep at it...practice makes perfect ;o)

@Chillybear: Definitely ask your doc to check your thyroid levels, something he/she should be doing routinely, regardless of TTC! And you're right, lower temps can be a sign, but it could also just be your thermometer. Other than that, I don't think you need to ask for any other tests yet, but if your doc offers, why not! My doc said to go see her if it didn't work after 6 months (and I was 30 at the time).

@Chillybear: Did AF already arrive this month? Your temps do look a little low, but it looks like you're definitely Oing. I was told it was much more about the length of the LP versus the temps in the beginning. I had a CP my second month of TTC, and the doctor tested my HCG & thyroid about 2 weeks after just to be sure things were good-to-go to try again. It was nice to have that peace of mind before moving forward. Maybe your doctor will do the same. Good luck!

@Chillybear: Whoa! Congrats! Lucky you, you'll get to go in right away-- most places want you to come in after 8 weeks or so.

Yay!!!!!

@Chillybear: congrats! I had the same thing happen with my first. Call your OB/GYN to give them a heads up and they might go ahead and draw blood to test your levels, mine did.
