[quote=Anonymous]I conceived my first at 33 after about 9 months of trying. Up to a year of trying when you're under 35 is normal. I drove myself crazy and got tested (and had DH tested) but we were completely normal (I have PCOS but I'm fertile and ovulate, just sort of irregularly).

You should use a tracker like Fertility Friend and invest in a basal body temp thermometer or bite the bullet and get a Clearblue Easy fertility monitor. (That's what I did and I got pregnant the first month with it.) I was tracking with FF's website for all 9 of those months, using a BBT thermometer, but it looks like I was off and my luteal phase is just insanely long (18 days) and temping didn't work for me -- but the monitor was awesome. I'd try that at least a few months before going to an RE, honestly. Unless you think you have an issue, just not getting pregnant in 6 months could be a matter of bad timing. And good tracking and the monitor/BBT will tell you for sure that you do/don't have a luteal phase defect, which is better than not knowing![/quote]
