At 36, if you have been trying for 7 months then it might be a good idea to consult an RE.You will be reassured if everything is fine, and if there are issues it is better to address them early. Your DH could also have some basic tests done, if they have not been done already.
Wish you good luck!

The robitussin worked for us on month 3 this time. You have no reason to think anything is wrong at this point but set yourself a deadline you and your DH are comfortable with. If you aren't pregnant by then, talk to your OB.


When did you take the robitussin? And mucinex is the same thing right?

I think a RE is premature. There's no reason to believe there's a problem, ESP when clearly ovulating, having had 2 kids, structurally everything fine, etc.

Not at 36


So it's longer when you're older? Meaning if you're 28 it ought go take 3 months, but if you're 36/37 it should take how many?


Do you have any links?
