[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was like you and started TTC when I was 35 after a lifetime of irregular periods.  My OB was able to do all the blood tests to try to figure out the cause.  It turned out that all my tests were normal, but I was diagnosed with PCOS anyway due to other symptoms.  My OB put me on Clomid initially, which did little good alone.  However, when she put me on Metformin (a diabetes drug) with Clomid, I was pregnant within two months.  Actually I got pregnanat subsequently using only Metformin and my periods became very regular.  I went to an RE for a bit while TTC in my '40s, but I soon became frustrated with all the bureaucracy and went back to my OB.  We got pregnant anyways a few months later.  An RE will order all different kinds of tests an OB will not, like an HSG or sperm testing for your DH.  The PP who said that these tests are stressful was not exaggerating.  On the other hand, if you are really concerned about getting pregnant quickly, you may want to go straight to an RE to make sure there are no other issues.[/quote]
