how long???

I have a ? how long is everyone waiting until they move onto a re for help getting pg the second time. I am out for the fourth month ttc and I am already getting anxious to go to the re. It took me ten months ttc to get pg first time and I had a miscarriage that they cant explain. My gyno says just keep trying and see him after six months . I am curious what he will say to me then. sorry so longChat Icon

Re: how long???

I think it would depend on how old you were. If you are over 35, I would recommend to make an appointment in an RE in 1 or 2 more cycles...

I would recommend to see an RE, even if it's after 6 months of trying or more rather than just going with an obgyn who may just write a rx for clomid. An RE will do a full panel of tests and blood work, which is more comprehensive than what most obgyn's do.

I was seeing an RE before I got pg. I would make an appt w/ an RE now. Only b/c your dr. doesn't know why you had a miscarriage- and it could be that it just happened, as some of them do, or it could be that maybe you have a clotting issue or some other issue that's easily fixable w/ medication.

I have only had 1 miscarriage (1 too many) and my dr. actively had my bloodwork sent to another state to a dr. to make sure there are no clotting issues w/ me- which I'm thankful for, b/c if there is a problem I want to know now, rather than after another miscarriage. I'm still waiting for my results...
It can't hurt- you could go for a 2nd opinion and get some bloodwork done. If nothing's out of the norm then at least you know- and you can stick w/ your dr. if that's what you feel most comfortable doing. HTH! Chat Icon Chat Icon
