When did u go to the Dr. with fertility issues ?

Question

My husband and I have been trying for our first baby for 7 months now with now luck. I have tried everything from eating pineapple core to opks and temping and nothing has seemed to help not even the pre seed lub. So my question to you is at what point to you seek help? To our knowledge both of us are healthy and my periods are pretty regular. Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Answer

My OB said they wouldn't further investigate until after a year of trying. After going to her and asking, I found out I was pregnant a month later. It took us 7-8 months to conceive.

Answer

If you're under 30, 1 year. 30 and up, 6 MOS after beginning TTC. I personally waited until 2 yrs but wish I had gone sooner. Good luck!

Answer

We went at the 1 year mark. Working with fertility specialist. We are in the process of starting ivf.

Answer

My husband and I have been trying for 11 months now. I went to my regular OB after not having a regular cycle for 4 months. She couldn't find the issue so she recommended me to another doctor who specializes in fertility and hormonal treatments. This new doctor, I've seen twice, tested all of my hormones, thyroid, vitamin D(Deficiency confirmed Nov. 2016), and my glucose. Turns out, not only am I underweight, but she diagnosed me with Atypical PCOS. She has no idea if it's hereditary or not. I was given an option of naturally trying to conceive, which is now 8 times harder, or trying Clomid. My husband and I are at a standstill on our decision. Mostly because, Clomid is something I'm not familiar with. It's the last thing we can try before we're recommended to a fertility specialist. Baby dust to you!

Answer

7 months is nothing. My husband and I just passed the 3 year mark. We waited a little over a year. I've had every test known to man. He's had 2 semen analysis and DNA fragmentation test. He's taking FertilAid and I'll be on a triple dose of Clomid this month. Still looking at another 3 months or so of timed intercourse. If that doesn't work, we'll be headed for IUI. We're hoping it doesn't come down to IVF. Stress can play a huge part in it as well. You begin to look at sexy as a chore and both you and he aren't producing the optimal environment to conceive. Give yourself a break and just have fun. Take it from someone who it on the LOOOOONG road, take the ebbs and flows as they come. And be together to be together... not a utilitarian means to make a baby.

Answer

I had a history of PCOS and irregular periods and had been trying 7 months before seeking help.  I'm 25, but because I had previously been diagnosed and was having difficulty, they started testing right away, which confirmed PCOS.  Month 8 (this month) she prescribed Femara for me, but I won't be able to start it until my next cycle.  She said normally she would have folks try for a year before prescribing fertility meds, but since there's obviously an issue, she's allowing us to start early.
