Q: How Long Should I Wait Before Seeing a Doctor?

I have been trying to get pregnant for over 8 months and ever month I am visited by my lovely friend. I have been pregnant before and some of you know how that ended. I worry I might not be able to have children anymore.
Anyhow my question for you guys is how long should I wait before I see a doctor about checking my fertility.

I am 25

i'm sorry, i'm not quite sure what happened to you to make you think that you're not fertile.

I think the normal length of ttc before seeing a fertility specialist is about a year. But if you feel that something damaging has happened I would check with a doctor now to see what if anything has happened.

Are you tracking your ovulation every month? If not, I should warn you that the window to get pregnant is actually quite small. You have to get your timing right for it to happen. To maximise your chances, you should start tracking your periods and ovulation dates.

If you need help with this, let us know. You could also visit the forums called ".Getting .Pregnant" located on this website. The girls there are all trying to conceive (ttc) and are very nice and helpful.

Good luck!

It's a good idea to talk to your doctor know that you are trying. Then he/she can ask for updates and refer you when he/she thinks it is appropriate. You can also bring it up with your ob/gyn during your next annual. I've heard that one year is typically the minimum before you get a referral to a specialist when you are under 35. But, doctors might consider your specific health background and refer you sooner or later.

I went to see a gyn after trying for 9 cycles, she told she could refer us as infertile till we try for 1 yrs. So she did some blood tests & u/s , everything came out normal.

But its all ways good to talk to a gyn & to check up to see if there is something wrong. Good luck.
