need a little RE info

DH and I are in the 2ww of our 3rd month. I may be getting a little ahead of myself, but I am starting to research RE's, but I am not excatly sure if this is the road we would go to right now. DH and I are both 38 and, even though we are trying really hard and putting in our best effort, still nothing. I am not very good with having patience so do you think I should contact an RE if this isn't our month or give it a little more time? I am having a bad day today

Re: need a little RE info

There's no harm in going if you feel like you want to explore - but they may tell you to wait until at least 6 months - still if it'll make you feel better to have some more info. then go ahead.

Re: need a little RE info

I would check with your insurance first. Sometimes you need a referral - and if so, you might need to wait until you have been trying for 6 months. If you don't need one, then it doesn't hurt to shop around for now.

Keep in mind that taking 6 months is completely normal! I would give it that amount of time unless you have some sort of history that might make you think there is a problem.. KWIM?

Are you doing everything you can do right now?

Re: need a little RE info

Have you been using OPK's?
Like the others said, you should check with your insurance b/c they may require that you've been trying for 6 months before they'll cover an RE.

Have u spoken w/ your OBGYN?

Re: need a little RE info

I think we are doing everything we can. We are very conscious of when we BD to make sure we are timing it as best we can. I do all the little tricks with the robitussin and whatnot. I had bloddwork done to confirm I am ovulating after coming off the pill a few months ago. I know when I O... I guess when you want something so bad you start to look for the magical answer. I am sure I am not alone when I say I never thought it would be like this.

Re: need a little RE info

i agree with the other girls..
if you are doing everything with tracking ovulation ... and timed BD.. i would wait till the 6 month mark then go..
but if your insurance does cover it without referrals then its your choice!

Re: need a little RE info

OK- totally jumped the gun I just called my OB/GYN and the nurse told me that we should give it six months and then they will start with the different test for me and my DH. To jump to the RE right now was was premature. Now I have to wait til Mon to cancel the appt with the RE I just made I must look like such a nutjob Thanks ladies!

Re: need a little RE info

Trust me, we understand why you're anxious. Good luck!!!!!

Re: need a little RE info

For a couple your age, they say 6 months before contacting an RE.

Re: need a little RE info

I made an appointment with an RE after trying for 5 months but that is because I wasn't ovulating, so there was no point in trying to do it on my own.

I would wait 6 months if I was you. Good luck
