How to advocate for myself?

Question

Hi all,
I’m TTC #1 and have been for 9 months. I had one mmc at 9 weeks and had a D&C. I’m 3 cycles out from that but my period is still pretty light. I’m tired of the passive “just keep waiting and trying” lingo I always get. How can I better advocate for myself? What are tests I can ask for? Who can I ask to be referred to? 
Thanks for any advice!

Answer

Go to a reproductive endocrinologist rather than a regular OB. However, your insurance may not cover the cost of fertility tests yet, but the fertility clinic should let you know. I switched to a fertility clinic after two miscarriages, and they have run a whole battery of tests, none of which I would have gotten at my OB.

Answer

You are at the point now where you can talk to your OBGYN about starting testing. That process will take a couple months then depending on the outcome of tests you can take next steps. Good luck to you!
