What tests will OB/GYN run?

Hi! I posted below, but wanted to put it here as well. New hubby and I have been ttc for over a year with no success. I had to take clomid 9 years ago to have my youngest. Even now, my O is all messed up..sometimes I O on d16, sometimes D32...and sometimes inbetween! Even post O, my temp barely reaches 98 degrees so I am thinking that my hormones are screwy. Hubby has 3 of his own from past marriage but said 2 years ago he got tested and was a little "under normal" for sperm count. As we have already ttc for over a year and both seem to have some "issues" I am wondering if I should call an OB/Gyn? Will they run hormone tests as well as check sperm count? Or are they just going to refer us out? Either way, should they be the first step? Thanks for any info you can give me!

I'm sure every Dr. is different, but my Dr. ran the hormone tests right in her office. We haven't been TTC too many months yet, but my cycles haven't been too regular ever since I had DS and I've had a lot of pain over the past months...anyways...so she ran hormone tests and I had an U/S right in her office to check things out. She said she would start me on Clomid if I'm still TTC 6 months from now.
