[quote=Anonymous]One thing to bear in mind as a PP mentioned is that it takes time to get fertility treatments started, and you can keep trying in the meantime, so don't delay starting the process for fear that you'll be forced into an IVF cycle right away.

To give you a sense of the time it takes:

We needed a referral to an RE from our OB.  We saw him in February of this year.  He ordered the initial tests.  The testing can take some time since the HSG has to be done at a certain time in your cycle.  Once we got the results, the OB referred us to Shady Grove Fertility, where we saw an RE (Dr. Jeanne O'Brien - I liked her, though agree with other posters on these boards that SGF has its issues) in March.  Getting that initial appointment was not hard.  But then she wanted us to do some additional genetic testing - first me, then wait for the results, then my husband got tested as well, then it took time to get the second appointment to agree on a treatment plan, then we had to wait a couple of weeks for the insurance approval, and got in just under the wire to start an IUI cycle in May, so three months after we first got our testing started with the OB.  And we were lucky in terms of not having too many delays due to waiting for my cycle to start or due to travel plans.[/quote]
