[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you use OPKs and timed intercourse?  If not, I'd start doing that while also making an appt with an RE.  The fact that you already had two children easily is a good sign.  But if you are anxious, see an RE.  You don't have to start treatment right away, but they'll do a few diagnostic tests to get a picture of where you are.  While that is happening, you keep trying at home.[/quote]

OP here - yes we are using OPKs and timed intercourse although admittedly the last two months the timing hasn't been the best with travel and illness.  I am also a bit worried because DH is slighly overweight and is stressed from working too much and not working out enough.  We are both 35. [/quote]

Right, so I'd talk to an RE while still trying at home.  You want to get looked at (an HSG) and your DH will have his sperm tested.  All that can happen quickly or it can take time (meaning 2 more cycles for you trying at home).  The first time I saw an RE I was ready for treatment immediately, because we'd been trying over a year, had one early miscarriage and then nothing.  I was ready for something else to help.[/quote]
