[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. There are a lot of us going through this and facing the same decisions! I really appreciate everyone's candor and advice. I am tempted to keep trying on our own, but I do have a yearly cap for infertility treatments and I'm 42, so I should probably start some things in 2018.

What tests did you do and how much time passed between starting and any actually attempts for a baby (IVF, IUI, etc.)? [/quote]

I had my first consult mid-cycle, so started my testing when the next cycle started a couple weeks later. DH had already done an SA before our consult (ordered by one of his doctors). Tests I had were: AFC on day 3, lots of bloodwork on day 3--TSH and T4, estradiol, AMH, FSH & LH, vitamin D, CBC, blood type & Rh factor, anti-TPO antibody, tests for antibodies to several infectious diseases, and Counsyl carrier screen, and HSG on something like cycle day 10. My follow-up to go over results and suggested treatment plan was exactly 4 weeks after my initial consult. That was November during open enrollment, so we decided to keep trying on our own until our new insurance that had coverage for IUIs started in January. If we had been paying OOP, we would have considered trying an IUI right away in my next cycle. If things had gone that way, it would have timed out that my first IUI could have occurred in as little as 7 weeks from my initial consult.

If I were in your position, especially with coverage for fertility treatments, I would start as soon as possible.[/quote]
