When to see fertility specialist?

Question

Hello, I'm 35 and my husband is 38. We've been TTC for 4 months now, I just got AF today :(. Im wondering how soon we should see a fertility doctor? I know it can take some time to conceive but it seems like all my friends are having success pretty quickly and I'm just not sure when is the right time to go to a Dr.  
​My average cycle length is 29.7 days, with a follicular phase of 17 and Luteal phase of 12.7.  Do these seem normal legnths? I'm just really frustrated.....

Answer

I am currently reading a book that was recommended to me by a nurse. While I will never tell you to not seek treatment, I will advise you to check into this avenue first.  The book is called "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler.  My friends got pregnant after reading and applying all of the principles in this book.  It teaches you everything including checking your cervical fluid, how to recognize your fertile window/ ovulation. It will teach you things about your body that most would never know.  If there is something wrong, you will be able to recognize and describe it to your doctor so that you can get the most effective treatment depending on your situation.  I wish the best for all of us going forward!!  Hoping to hear some positive BFP posts soon! You can buy the book on Amazon for $6 used. Worth EVERY penny.

I got referred to the clinic when I was 35 by my dr. She gave me 6 mos to get prego and then referred me. Give it your best the next few mos ( I mean OV stick and lots of sex). You'd prefer natural over the clinic for sure.

Answer

Go now. If something is wrong you might want to work it out ASAP.

Answer

I have PCOS and I'm 33. We have been trying for 6 months and my obgyn is ready to refer me. I'm wondering if you can call or contact your obgyn to see what they think. 35 and up they say 6 months. I have a condition that might be getting I. The way so I'm technically going for that I think. Plus she wants DH to get checked.  We are doing that first before I get checked.

Answer

I don't really have any advice. Just wanted to say we are in the same boat. I'm 35. He's 38. We've been trying for 4 months. I have 4 children from a previous marriage and it's frustrating to me that I am not pregnant yet. I'm due in 2 days so we will see. My OB said that if we haven't conceived after 6 months we would start "looking into things". Good luck! ❤️
