Okay so I'm starting to doubt this month since this mornings FMU was a BFN, granted it is still a bit early. I was wanting to know when or if you got a Dr. involved in ttcing? This will be my 3rd month TTCing and I'll be turning 35 in May. I've scheduled an appt. this month to see my regular Dr. and let them know we are TTCing in hopes they can make sure everything looks okay and possible see a specialist. Soooo
How long did you or are you waiting before you see a Dr.?

We have been "not preventing" since June 2007.

the old rules were, ttc for 1 year by yourself if you were under 35 & six months if you were 35 or over. i say "old" becuase many people here go to a doc sooner and start testing.

Typically they say over a year for under 35 and over 6 months for over 35.


What i can tell you is that you are in charge of your medical intervention.

Hello and I'm sorry you're going through this.


I agree with PEDPT about taking things into your own hands. I would not sit back and keep waiting.


I talked to my OBGYN before we started TTC and since I'm irregular I needed help with my cycles which we figured out again after stopping BCP when I was giving myself time to let my body regulate or what I was hoping would happen. (I don't O or get AF on my own) After 2 months of OBGYN help I switched to an RE and couldn't be happier.


I would call your doctor and see about the next steps. (either bloodwork, tests, meds, etc) They'll give you a plan. You don't have to wait anymore like you used to. Take it into your hands and get the help that helps so many people move ahead.


Best to you!!!
