maybe it’s me?

Question

me and my partner have been ttc since august with no luck and it’s now dec. and i’m not getting my hopes up cause i think that its gonna be a bfn AGAIN. so how did you guys know when to go to the doctor to run tests? or to get medication to help? also, can i go to a planned parenthood for all of that or do i need to find an actual OBGYN?

Answer

12 months of trying is when you start getting tests done if under 35. 
How are you confirming ovulation?

Answer

Most doctors won't do anything until after a year of ttc. Planned Parenthood won't do fertility care. You need to see a gynecologist at the minimum. A fertility clinic is better.

Answer

You need to be sure you’re tracking with OPK’s and BBT, OPK and apps only predict when you might ovulate. You have to confirm ovulation with BBT!! 
I’ve been trying since Sept 2021, and actively tracking with OPK’s and BBT since August and it’s now December🙃 
we see a RE because we’ve been having unprotected sex for over a year with no successful pregnancy (1 miscarriage) and we are both under 35. 
We are 26, first steps they did were bloodwork and vaginal ultrasound on me, bloodwork and semen analysis on husband, HSG to check that my fallopian tubes were open, more bloodwork and vaginal ultrasounds, and now we are waiting for our follow up to discuss where to go from here. So you know what you might expect!

Answer

If you’re under 35, a year. If you’re over 35, six months. I’m over 35, so I got referred shortly after the ob appointment.

Answer

Most drs won’t do anything for a year,and if you already have kids they won’t do anything anyway,its only been 4 months for you,it can take up to 2 years..me and oh have been ttc#3 for 2 years in January xxx
