How long have you been TTC?
7 months and 6 months to go to a specialist since I have pcos. It's m own choice not to see a specialist and control my pcos naturally and hopefully then get pregnant if it happens it happens but if not I won't beat myself up over it

Re: How long have you been TTC?
9 months. Wow. I just realized that if I had gotten pregnant right away, I'd be just about to give birth now. 
I'm giving myself til January 2016 then I'll go see a specialist.

Re: How long have you been TTC?
This time only one month so far. Before DS2 I had been trying for 6 months and had 2 chemicals in that time frame so I went to see a specialist.
The usual timeframe is 6 months for over 35, 12 months for under. But if you feel something is wrong and want to go earlier, go for it.

2 months. I'm 35 though so not waiting long to see a doctor if it doesn't happen within the next few months.

My dr. said 12 months, but I went after 4 months, and they gave me a prescription for HSG, which I did after 6 months of TTC. I knew something was up.. because my cycles are like clockwork and I had no issue first time around. I apparently have a blocked tube, and possible endo.. nothing conclusive. I have been ttc for 13 months now - if nothing happens in the next 6 to 9 months, I will throw in the towel.

My periods has always been painful.. crampy, bloating, the whole 9.. but nothing some motrin/tylenol can't resolve. I had another hsg done today, and no blocked tubes, so the first time around I probably had a spasm.
I don't want to do surgery to figure out of if I have endo.. I wish there was another way to find out.

Re: How long have you been TTC?
We've been trying for 10 months. After 3 months my dr said I could go if I wanted, but I am older and have PCOS. I decided to try for a little longer on my own.
My first re appt is in 2 weeks. However, if I had known how long it would take to get in for a consult I would've called sooner.

Re: How long have you been TTC?
1 year this time around. Got PG the 2nd month trying with DD and also the 2nd month trying before her, which was a chemical. I'm definitely feeling like something has to be wrong and going to a consult with an RE next week.

How long have you been TTC?
August will be 2 years since we first started TTC for #2, but there have been off months during that time, a M/C at 5.5 weeks on month 3 of TTC , so we had to take a month off after that, and a M/C at 12 weeks. We are in our first cycle after that. So all in all it's about a year and a half at this point, maybe a little less than a year and a half.
We got pregnant with DD on month 3. I am unexplained. I relate it all to stress after the first M/C b/c once I let it all go I got pregnant in Feb naturally. I am praying it happens again soon, but sticks this time.

Re: How long have you been TTC?
I have 1 DC and currently starting to TTC for #2. We were trying last fall. for 3 months and then took a break- it just wasn't the right time for us.
Now, I just started TTC as of this month.

Re: How long have you been TTC?
My GYN had recommended seeing a specialist after 6 cycles. I have irregular cycles and other symptoms consistent with adrenal abnormalities. After 6 months i saw an RE and spent the next 2 cycles going through tests. RE confirmed I did indeed have adrenal issues and recommended going straight to IVF. I got pregnant my first IVF cycle. It took a total of 10 months to get my BFP. Dr said my best chances at conceiving naturally would be to try again once AF returned. We started trying for DC 2 the month AF returned (9 months pp since I was BFing). That was over a year ago and still no BFP. My GYN told me I could see an RE again whenever I'm ready.
