Question

My husband and I started ttc in July 2019, I had a miscarriage in November and now have been trying since then to get pregnant. Typically they say to make an appointment if you’ve been trying for a full year. Would it be a year from July or a year from November since I did have a positive test and miscarried at 6 weeks?

Answer

Probably a year from November. Guidelines are starting fertility medication after 6 months for me since I’m over 35. We have been trying since November and I miscarried in February. My OB won’t consider fertility treatment/work up until August (6 months after my miscarriage) if we haven’t conceived again by then. She did start me on metformin though since I have been diagnosed with PCOS in the meantime to see if that will help. Each medical provider is different, so it’s best to speak with your doctor since your medical history and circumstances will also he factored in.

Answer

My doc told me 6months. I’m only 33 and have no underlying health conditions that would make conceiving difficult. She tested and treated me at the 6months mark for my first pregnancy which ended in MC and then immediately afterwards. I’d call and ask your office, maybe they’d see you sooner?
