[quote=Anonymous]Go straight to an RE - or have your OB run all the tests now, to give you a head start. They will do blood tests and an HSG, and it wouldn't hurt to get your husband tested, too. If you aren't seeing your OB until the end of November and can get a referral to an RE, I'd go ahead and do that.

It sounds like you are probably PCOS and if so, charting/monitoring probably won't help that much. "TCOYF" will help you get a better sense of your cycle and be better informed, but if you are like me (also PCOS) it didn't provide a lot of practical advice that was helpful in getting pregnant.

Many insurance cos won't refer you to an RE unless you've been trying for 6 months if you are over 35 (1 year if you are under 35), but you can easily say you've been trying for that long.

Also, you should go off the Pill ASAP. Even for women who do have regular periods, it sometimes takes several months for your cycle to "normalize" and for you it may take longer. If you don't want to get pregnant right away, use other BC methods in the meantime.

Hope this helps. GL.[/quote]
