Hi Ramya,
At 3 months, I wouldn't worry that much about fertility. Were you on birth control before January? It typically takes 3-6 months and maybe longer on some methods to get out of your system.
It looks like your cycles are just about 27 days- the last was a little longer- could be the stress of trying.
Talk to your doctor about trying to conceive. Remember you are fertile 2 weeks BEFORE your period. Start taking a prenatal vitamin with Folic Acid and drink a lot of water.
Good luck,
Jill
AnswerRamya,
Find a doctor that you feel comfortable with. You may want to consider a Nurse Practitioner Midwife. Find a midwife that does family planning and ask to make a preconception/family planning appointment. That way, you can discuss how and when you've been trying and ask for suggestions. It still may be early for fertility testing, but your healthcare practitioner can discuss if that is an option for you at this time.
We talk about this pretty openly here in the US. It is not wrong for you to discuss these personal issues with your healthcare provider. Good luck, try to relax, and enjoy!
