[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:50 -- that sounds awful.  I'm a little surprised that the midwife waited until three miscarriages to suggest testing progesterone.  How awful that your marriage has ended.  I hope you're doing okay.

To answer your questions, I do not have a history of fertility issues.  This marks 7 months off birth control and 4 TTC.  As far as I know, I've never had a miscarriage.  I have been tracking my cycles -- the first three months using OPK's and most recently temping and observing CM (although I'm not very good at that part yet).  A generous DC Urban Mom user gave me her fertility monitor, so going to start using that this month.  Based on both OPK's and temping, my luteal phases have only been 9 days for all of the last four cycles, assuming AF comes today.  That gives me concern.  And although I know that four months isn't that long, some other posters have said that it might take 2-3 months to get an appointment with an RE, so I thought maybe I should go ahead and start that process if it seemed like that's where I should go.

Thanks for all your responses.  Haven't really decided what I should do now.[/quote]

If can take some time to get an appointment.  I would schedule one and then cancel if you change your mind.  The first appointment is just an introduction. You meet with a doctor, one of the nurses and someone from financial.  They will give you a list of tests you will need to get done (bloodwork and what not).  Your insurance should cover the visit and they will be able to tell you (if you don't already know) what else would be covered - which is good to know in case you need something like invitro in the the future.  I'm at Shady Grove Fertility, which is fine. It's very close to my work so that helps make my life easier while going through all of this.[/quote]
