When to see a Dr.?

Question

I know some of you have been ttc for years and this might be a slap in the face. Me and my SO decided to to try for our 2nd one. We have been ttc for 6 months and I don't know if I should see a Dr. to see if something is wrong. I get so upset every month when AF shows up. I got pregnant with my 1st child right away. I don't know if I should make an appoinment now or wait 6 more months since you are suppose to wait a year if you can't conceive naturally. Advice please 😢

Answer

If you're under 35: then it takes a healthy couple anywhere from 6-12 months to be able to conceive. Wait until you've been TTC for a year and then go to a doctor. 
If you're over 35: 6 months is the norm, and then go to a doctor.

Answer

I went to the dr after four months and one miscarriage. I knew something wasn't right so I emailed my dr. He had me come in and did an ultrasound. I was diagnosed with PCOS and he ordered a ton of blood work to check for hormones and clotting issues. Hormones came back okay so he started me on Clomid four days ago. He called me Friday evening and said I tested positive for MTHFR so he started me on Metformin and Folbee (high dose folic acid, vitamin b6, vitamin b12). I'm very thankful my dr listened to me when I said something wasn't right because we would have kept having miscarriages due to the MTHFR clotting problems and PCOS hormones going crazy. Tonight is my last dose of Clomid so I should be ovulating next week. Fingers crossed this is our month!

Answer

I have been ttc for 4 years, I went to the doctor because I go 4 or more months without a cycle. I still had to wait 12 months of ttc before they would do anything :(  I don't see the harm in going to the doctor but don't let the 12 months of ttc be shock to you if they do tell you that... best wishes...
