[quote=Anonymous]Definitely double check with your insurance to see if you have to get a referral through your RE.  Assuming you do, though, five more months is not going to be the end of the world at age 33. It might not be successful and end up indeed being a waste of time as you fear, but it's not going to make the difference between successful treatment through IUI/IVF or unsuccessful treatment.

There are a couple of upsides: five more months could also give your husband more time to wrap his head around further interventions, if you're not successful getting pregnant naturally. You both definitely need to be on the same page before moving forward.

Also, have you been charting and using OPKs  to try and time your cycles? If not, five months will give you some additional time to try that. You can also use the time to look into nutritional supplements for you and your husband; acupuncture; and cleaning up your diet (if necessary). Best case scenario, all that stuff will be completely unnecessary and you get pregnant within five months. Worst case scenario, you end up having to see an RE but you'll be physically ready for the challenges of assisted reproductive therapies.

Good luck...[/quote]
