What?? You have penty of time, BUT when your ready to have a baby, I know that 1 day seems like 30!! Try to be positive, don't panic...deep breaths..and know we'll be behind you to help if we can. Good luck!! HUGS
Not ovulating can be an easy problem to fix, but it really depends on how your body responds to medication. They will mostly likely try you on a pill (Clomid) first to see if that regulated your ovulation. The most important thing is to remain patient. Even in a "perfect" cycle there is only about a 20-25% chance of getting pregnant.
The other advise I'd offer would be to make sure your husband/partner has good count. I had a very similar situation to you and it turned out that not only was my ovulation inconsistent, but my DH had a very low sperm count.
Here if you want to talk further. Wishing you good luck and a BFP really soon.
I am 25 and have felt the biological clock for a LONG time now... Age is not the only factor to this and it is perfectly normal for you (and me) to feel our time ticking away even though we are in our mid 20s........ Don't worry you are not alone in that and although the wait for the RE appointment seems to take forever it will pass before you know it..............
Wishing you the best of luck

1) Ask that your day cd 3 FSH level be tested along with your estradiol. FSH should be less than 10 (under 20 is still okay but a little high. Estradiol should be less than 50 (I think). These are good indicators of how much 'time" you might have (not the only indicators though). My FSH varies between 13 and 16 so my time might be limited even though I am only 33. (I have some anxiety of my own :| )
2) Have your thyroid checked with a blood test for TSH and Free T4 levels. Thyroid conditions may cause anxiety - I had near panic attack anxiety and horrible heart palpitations and then was nearly depressed for 6 months before my RE finally tested my thyroid levels and put me on meds. I feel much better now - am still working on getting pregnant.
