WWYD- long!
Hi ladies-
It's been a long time since i've posted on this board, but I need some advice.
DH and I are just about ready to TTC number 3.
A little back story, in case you don't know me.
I am 28, DH 31.
We have a 4 year old daughter and a 19 month old daughter.
My 4 year old was conceived via IVF in '08.
While TTC her, I began seeing an RE, had a failed Clomid cycle, a failed medicated IUI, a canceled IUI due to hyperstimming, etc.
My 19 month old, as well as a pregnancy prior to my 4 year old were conceived naturally. My first pregnancy was planned, used OPKs and got pregnant on the first shot. Unfortnately, that ended in a MC at 8 weeks. My little one was a complete and utter (happy) surprise.
Anyway- we are going to start TTC number 3.
All of the fertility issues lie within me. I have PCOS,Endo, MTHFR. I also hae issues with Ammenorea and probably also anovulation. The last two are my worst enemy.
I have had 2 cycles so far this YEAR.
My 1st cycle lasted 171 days. 
My second cycle was 51 days.
I am currently in the 3rd cycle with no idea when AF will come.
It is a complete miracle that DD2 was conceived with no intervention. Total luck of the draw. Especially because DH and I don't have much actual intercourse because it's often painful as a reult of the Endo.
ANYWAY-
Like I said we want to start TTC, but I have no idea when/where to start. I am 29 days into the 3rd cycle. I was thinking of ordering some ovulation tests in bulk so I can just test every day, but I would think I should wait for AF to come again so I can start fresh with a new cycle. I don't know if I should even bother because you're not supposed to use them if you have PCOS.
I don't really know what else to say. 
These thoughts are just consuming me like I am back at the beginning and I need help sorting them out.

If you have insurance coverage, and you are ready for #3, I would go to RE. If nothing else, they can help sort out your cycles so that you know what is going on.
Best of luck!

I completely agree. It sounds like you could be waiting for a while if you try to do it naturally. You just never know. I would at least go and have them do some testing and an evaluation.
ETA: You are both still young though so I don't know if there's any specific reason why you would want to rush it, so definitely consider that as well. You still should have a good amount of "fertile years" ahead of you, but again, it might be worth your while to get some testing done so you know what you're dealing with specifically.

Thanks, girls!
I'm definitey in no huge rush, but I don't want to try for years either.
I will have to look into my IF insurance. With my DD we were under different insurance and everything except IVF was covered. Hopefully something similar applies now.
Thank you!
