[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP I really think you owe it to yourself to try for at least 4-6 months before even CONSIDERING getting any kind of testing or intervention done. You are adding a whole additional level of stress to the process when you have no real reason to think anything is wrong. Irregular periods are not necessarily indicative of anything. I get not wanting to waste time, but the fact is you can't just decide you want to get pregnant and snap your fingers and there it is. You're only 35, you have plenty of time to try for a few months and then, if necessary, seek further medical assistance. [/quote]

Depends how irregular you are.  If you are just off by a couple days to a week, it may be benign.  But if you skip periods, or have significant irregularity, you may want to get tested sooner rather than later.  I remember that mid-way through our "TTC naturally phase" I told the nurse at my OB that my last cycle was 42 days.  She told me I should go to an RE right away.  And sure enough there were a host of things wrong with me!  (Though thankfully, with considerable medical assistance I was able to conceive.)[/quote]
