I have been using the "let go and let God" approach to conceiving and have felt in the past that if it is going to happen, it will happen naturally. But after 13.5 months of trying I am wondering if I should try an ovulation predictor kit or skip straight to fertility counseling. I have a regular cycle every 32 days (give or take a couple of days every now and then) and I usually experience mittleschmirtz around ovulation. I desperately want to get pregnant but since I suffer from pms and experience all the sypmtoms some women get during the two weeks before their period i.e. cramps, headaches, sore muscles, fatigue, irritability, increased hunger and sleep, swollen and tender breasts, you name it I get it. I am so disappointed every month and am wondering if I should just keep letting nature control the situation or find out if there is a more serious problem of why I have not gotten pregnant. Can I seriously keep missing the small window of opportunity to conceive or what?

Ovulation predictors aren't a bad idea. They help a lot of women. But don't wait too long to go see a specialist. Each passing year reduces your chances of pregnancy.
Best of luck!

I bought ovulation strips from a medical wholesaler on ebay, 50 of them for 20 bucks, theyre always on there.
I didnt think I was ovulating. BUt with 50 I was able to test for not only my whole cycle, but see if i ovulated at the same day the next cycle.
You can give them a go, if you're ovulating then either he's got no swimmers, or something just isnt working.
