[quote=Anonymous]Trust your gut. With my first, i was 27 but was having trouble despite religiously tracking ovulation and BBT. I have suspected endometriosis and as in turns out DH has low morphology. My OB brushed me off and told me to wait a year. The RE I wanted to see had a three month wait anyway, and I went to him after about 7 months. We did IUIs and testing to see if less invasive procedures worked- they didn’t. I ended up getting pregnant after 12 cycles right as I was about to start IVF.

Now, trying to conceive my second, I had issues again after seven months of careful trying. I switched REs because I moved, and he basically said my changes with endometriosis were like, 3% on a monthly basis. No issues with me trying for awhile longer because I’m still young- but we opted for ivf because we are clearly subfertile. Even if you get pregnant right away with IVF, it’s still a months long process from getting into the practice to hopefully getting pregnant.

I would check in with an RE. They can do testing and semen analysis to rule out obvious issues. Even if you went tomorrow, you’d have to wait for your next cycle day 1 to do blood work, need ore authorization from insurance, need to get medications, and need to wrap your head around it emotionally. Your doctor might even suggest some IUIs first as a less invasive strategy because you’re young. Those give you roughly the same odds as conceding naturally each month and will take up time too...[/quote]
