I have my first appt Jan 10th with the RE. I was just thinking last night.."maybe its too early to take this step, maybe I should wait..or maybe I shouldn't" I just keep going back and forth about it and I don't know why. I was just wondering when you knew it was the right time to transfer to an RE?
Re: When to see an RE?
I waited a year, but I wish I would have gone sooner. It's now a year and a half since we started TTC and I'm still not pregnant. In the end it's always a personal choice, but I wish I would have been even more aggressive with my treatment (then I already am!!). I'd say keep that appointment. At least you can get your testing out of the way. If you're ever not comfortable with how fast he/she's moving you can always slow the treatment part down when it gets to that point. GOOD LUCK!

I wanted to back down as I was riding up in the elevator to her office. I was so incredible nervous and near tears in the waiting room. But after the visit it was such a HUGE relief and I was so so happy I went.
It is a hard thing to admit you need help with something it seems everyon else can do so easily, but it is so wonderful to know there is help out there.
Go. Just talk to the Dr., they will not preasure you in to anything you are not ready for and will take it all at your own pace. I don't think you will regret it!
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!

My ob/gyn was very proactive. Since I was over 35, she said to come see her if I wasn't pregnant in 6 months. She ran tests, put me on Clomid, and said, "If nothing happens after 2 cycles, I'm sending you to an RE."
IMO, at the very least you can see the RE, get testing done, then make a decision at that point as to how aggressive you want to be and what steps you want to take. But at least you'll have all the information available to you at that point.
Good luck. I hope it goes well.

I went to see my OB about 5 mos after going off nuvaring to chat about ttc.
When I realized he was a nice guy but not answering me ques I went to an RE at the 8 month mark. I just had a feeling something was up.
Right now, for me, I'm staying with my OB because we are just at the beginning of our journey.
