[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Skip the OB and go to a fertility clinic for baseline testing. It will take a month or two to schedule a consultation and another month for bloodwork and other tests. By then, you’ll hopefully be pregnant on your own. If not, you’ll have other options available to you.

Yes, this. Get things rolling now so you’re ready when you need it.[/quote]

Agree - and tell anyone who asks that you've been trying for 6 months.[/quote]

We only did IUIs, but from the date of the first visit to first IUI was two months. Part of it was a delay caused by my misunderstanding of timing. But some tests have to be done on certain days of your cycle so depending on when you go you might have to wait a whole month. I happened to go ON that day so we went right over to radiology to do the test. Totally forget what it’s called when (I think?) they check your tubes are open. HSG?

Just sharing as a way of emphasizing just go now and say it’s been six months. They aren’t going to ask for details, just dates of your cycles. [/quote]
