How long trying?
How long was everyone trying until a lightbulb went off that told you to move on to an RE? I'm just getting a little concerned.

Re: How long trying?
age has a lot to do with it...we were trying for almost a year before we were referred to a RE...I think the older you are they will send you to one after 6 months.

Re: How long trying?
3 months for us, but we found out that I have PCOS in that 3rd month, so we went straight to the RE.

Re: How long trying?
I didn't see an RE until a year after I went off BCP. I should have seen one sooner.

Re: How long trying?
We went at 11 months. However, we knew from the start that we would have fertility issues.

Re: How long trying?
We started in March but I wasn't very diligent until May finally in November I said "something's not right" so I went to see a specialist. I am so glad I did!

Re: How long trying?
I am 26 and DH is 36. I went off the pill in March, started officially trying in July. Unfortunately, my cycles never regulated. I'm all over the place, usually 50-60 days. Last month I had a 32 day cycle, but we are back to another long cycle this time around. I have been temping since October.
Thanks to a special FM, I spent all weekend thinking (thank you)

Re: How long trying?
Well our age is a factor, but we knew almost immediately it was going to be challenging.

Re: How long trying?
Leslie, you and i went off the pill at the same time and i started actively trying the same month as you..we didnt prevent for a month or two in there so i counted those bc we BD'd alot!!
I decided to go because like you, my periods were getting longer and i had a few questions for the doc about DH as his morphology was a little low.
Well, turns out i was the major prob!! DH loved that, no actually he didnt because i was sooo upset and ended up finding out i have endo. I lost a tube and now am working with one but here is my advice. I am a more extreme case i would say! I am in my 20's too and no one really took me seriously right away bc of my age. But, then decided to see my RE now and he was nice and honest and when i had another marathon cycle on the way he did a sono on me and then bloodwork and ended up helping me with O earlier. Now i am doing the clomid thing again but had to halt due to laproscopic surgery for my endo and tube.
I would say, go in because of the cycle issues. It is not normal to have them go that long after stopping the pill last March, i sold birth control for awhile-dont freak out either bc usually it is a treatable issue and you can end up pregnant bam! For me, i thought it was PCOS but think it is a combo of the endo with mine. Not really sure bc my hormones are all normal but the endo was a shock. I could recommend to you some good doctors-FM me if you have any questions. I have worked in medical sales for a while and have gotten alot of good feedback on the good docs to see!
I hope I helped?!

Re: How long trying?
We tried for one year before going to an RE.. I did though talk to my gyno about three months before that to see what she could do, she put me on clomid and ran some tests.
Best of luck

Re: How long trying?
About ONe year for me. But, after my miscarriage, we couldn't try for two cycles bc of the methotrexate....so it was about 10 months. Going on 4 years this Feb.
Good Luck to you!

Pretty much the same here. Trust your instincts.

Re: How long trying?
We tried for about 4 months. I am 36, DH is 37. I went to an RE to have tests run just to see if I had any issues. Good thing that I did, because my blood tests showed poor egg quallity and low reserve -- DH has low sperm count.
