Is Fertility Monitor Is An Effective Tool For Monitoring Ovulation?

Question: I really hope you can help me. Let me start from the beginning I am 39 years of age, never used any kind of contraception and have never been pregnant. I was never sexually active until I was 26 years of age and then it would only be maybe 3 times a year. We have been more sexually active the past 6 months about twice a week. I have only ever had one partner and that is my current husband.

I was investigated in 2009 due to pain in my lower area, hence the attached Ultrasound Scan.

I had bleeding problems in 2011/2012, hence the letter attached which was due to stress of my Nana passing away and everything is now back to normal. I have attached the Ultrasound Scan Report, everything is back to normal now and has been for 12 months. My Day 3 FSH was 4.2.

I got married in July 2012 and we decided we wanted to try for a baby. We have never been consistent with intercourse apart from the last 2 months where I am using a Clearblue Fertility Monitor. I thought I was not ovulating hence I bought the fertility monitor. This does show that I am ovulating.

I really want to conceive naturally, do you really see this can happen for us? I am overweight but have lost 2 stone, so currently still overweight but trying. My husband has cut down from 30 cigarettes a day to 10 cigarettes and drinks within the alcoholic guidelines 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 have a regular bleeding pattern 24-28 day cycles. Never have pain or any kind of problem. I have attached my bleeding chart.

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.     Do you agree the fertility monitor is a good diagnosis for ovulating?
2.     Do you see I can conceive naturally?
3.     Can I have a infertility check for myself and if so how do I go about this?
4.     Any suggestions please to help me achieve what I really want.
5.     Am I stressing out too much?

Thank you so much you have given me so much hope I going to give it 6 months and if not conceived will get referred to a Specialist.

Do you see I have PCO and if so is this a concern also is my age a concern even though I have a good egg reserve please?

MY doctor says I do not have PCOS as blood tests dont suggest it. Are you saying I do have PCOS but you can conceive naturally?

Thank you very much.

Is my husband a problem as far as you can see or should everything be fine and I should stop stressing

Last question do you see my age and my husband 10 cigs a day plus within alcohol guidelines be a problem. If not I will try using fertility monitor for 12 months then seek advice. If fertility monitor shows ovulation can I safely say I do ovulate?
