Is FSH Level Of 4.2 On Day 3 Of Menstrual Cycle Normal?
I got married in July 2012 and we decided we wanted to try for a baby. We have never been consistent with intercourse for about 3 months and I am the Clearblue Fertility Monitor. I thought I was not ovulating hence I bought the fertility monitor. This does show that I am ovulating (I think).
I really want to conceive naturally, do you really see this can happen for us? I am overweight but have lost 2 stone, currently weighing 16 stone 7 pounds, so currently still overweight but still trying to lose more weight. My husband has cut down from 30 cigarettes a day to 10 cigarettes and drinks within the alcoholic guidelines (lager or bitter) other than a Saturday.
I have seen a Gynaecologist who sees no problems in me conceiving and says I have a good egg reserve for my age. I have attached some reports to help you answer my questions. My Gynaecologist says I do not have PCO as my blood work is all good. My own GP is also not concerned. I am going to bed every night crying thinking I will never conceive naturally.
Please don’t ask my partner to have a semen analysis done as he doesn’t want this and says if it is meant to be it will happen naturally. Can I have an infertility check to see if I am in working order without my husband attending?
I usually have a regular bleeding pattern 24-28 day cycles. Never have pain or any kind of problem. I have attached my bleeding chart. This cycle I spotted on day 13 and 14, Clearblue fertility monitor went to 3 bars on day 17 and 18, but my cycle has been unusually long to 34 days, where I am on average 27 days. Is there something wrong with me or am I panicking too much? All I want is to get pregnant naturally, with no intervention is this possible?
At the end of the day all I want is to be a MUM, do you please see this possible my reports and see it can happen naturally?
I can’t afford anything privately it will have to be on NHS my own GP won’t refer me as he thinks I am panicking over nothing.
1. Is my FSH on day 3 of 4.2 normal?
2. Do you agree the fertility monitor is a good diagnosis for ovulating?
3. Do you see I can conceive naturally?
4. Can I have a infertility check for myself and if so how do I go about this?
5. Any suggestions please to help me achieve what I really want.
6. Am I stressing out too much?
If Clearblue fertility monitor shows 3 bars do I:
1. Ovulate
2. Release an egg
3. Should I conceive naturally
Everyone seems to be getting pregnant at the drop of the hat and poor me is still here trying. I want a baby so much.
Do you see I have PCO or do you see all be fine.
Another thing that confuses me is Fertility Monitor shows Ovulation, but Ovulation strips do not. I think I am getting myself into a Frenzy and should just use the Fertility Monitor and forget ovulation test strips. What are your thoughts please?

You ovulate, which means releasing an egg and it is time for you to try to conceive naturally.
All three mean the same.
