How many months of TTC before you went to see your doctor about it?

Question

I'm trying to decide if I should see my general obgyn about TTC and would like to hear others' experiences. If you could comment on whether you found it helpful, that would be great!

Answer

I just turned 26 a couple weeks ago... I had been TTC for about 6 months when I went to see my GYN. My cycles were totally out of wack ranging anywhere from 28-40 days. Lots of people told me I was young and had only been off birth control for  6 months and should "wait it out"... I ignored that advice and went to see my doctor. Thank goodness I did! Bloodwork showed I wasn't ovulating. I was prescribed Provera to induce my period and then a round of Clomid to help me ovulate. First round of Clomid and I got my BFP. I'm just over 12 weeks now... I say if you think something's not right, regardless of age, you should see your doctor. It can't hurt!

Answer

I ha a regular ob/gyn that I saw and he told me to try for a year off bc before they do any tests. Then after the year they sent me for bloodwork and ultrasound and I was diagnosed with PCOS. He is sending me for one more test and then I will start meds to help me ovulate at the beginning of July. Was very helpful!

Answer

The hubby and I started trying when I stopped taking the pill August 2013. AF has never missed a beat showing up each month. Went to my yearly appt. with my obgyn in May 2014 and he said he'd see me in 6-8 months whether I was prego or not. I thought he'd tell me to come back this Aug... I was super bummed because I have to  wait till November.

Answer

I actually talked to my obgyn before we started TTC because endo runs in my family, and I was concerned about it affecting my fertility. He told me to come back after trying fir at least 8 months.

​We're 5 months into trying, and now I have to find a new obgyn because we just moved across the country for DHs job.

Answer

it was about 6 months of TTC.  my ob/gyn said it could take 6 mos for my body to get bck to "normal" bc of bc??. went in at 6 mo ttc. diagnosed w pcos then-  been 10 months so far

Answer

I went to my obgyn after 6 months bc I had only gotten 1 period. She had me try Provera to kick start things but that only resulted in 1 period. 3 months later, so at 9 months I went back to her and she referred me straight to the fertility clinic.

Answer

We did a pre-ttc appt in September 2013. I saw my doctor in February 2014 for bloodwork and ultrasound. I saw her again in May to discuss progress and look at charts. Started clomid and had an HSG performed in June 2014. 2nd round of Clomid and more bloodwork scheduled for July 2014.
