How long until I get concerned?

Question

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 6 months now. I’m about 7dpo today and have been tracking using OPKs , baby dancing like rabbits… (hoping this is our month) but if it’s not when should we start to worry a bit and maybe ask our doctor? I was thinking about 8 months to a year, but should I go sooner? 
Everyone I see in my life seems to be getting pregnant in the first few months they try…

Answer

I am 32 and tried for 5 cycles. Going this weekend for fertility assessment for both of us. It can give insight about your body so that you can make changes in your lifestyle if anything is fixable. Sometimes very basic issues can hinder pregnancy. Baby dust & all the best ❤️

Answer

We saw a specialist after 6 months ttc and 2 losses. Glad we did as we found out my egg quality was really poor. Another loss occurred and we then failed 3 rounds of ivf. We were told to look at egg donor then we finally conceived naturally at the 2 year mark. I’m now 33 weeks pregnant with our little boy. I never regretted getting help when we did.

Answer

We’re in our early 30s and tried 12 months. Got a positive on month 12!

Answer

If you’re under 35 years old, they recommend you try for 12 months before seeing the doctor. If you’re 35 or older, they cut this down to 6 months. But some docs will start some basic work up sooner!

Answer

I had my first at 17 on the patch. 2nd was planned at age 20. Conceived first try. We decided to try again at the age of 30 for number 3. Took us 2 years. Tracked every way possible. Baby danced all the right days. Finally gave up. Did the deed 2 days in July. Had no idea if it was near ovulation. Didn't even cross my mind. Period was late. Waited until it was 4 days late. Took a test and boom. Pregnant. Currently 6 weeks. My advice is to just have fun. Don't stress.

Answer

It can’t hurt to ask! I talked to my OB at after about 5 cycles because I had my annual then anyway but she ordered some lab work and found I had thyroid issues that was making my cycle long and irregular so I’m glad I didn’t wait!

Answer

Took us a year and a half for the first time...lost it and it took another year plus to conceive current pregnancy. It takes time...I know it's hard but be patient. 😊
