When to see a RE?

tlc35

I know the rule of thumb is after 6 months of trying but I'm not sure how to count since I had a BFP and a loss.  If I count from when we started TTC then 6mo would be September.  If I count from when we started TTCAL then it would be December.  I realize I am not to any of these dates yet and I don't want to be impatient but I also don't want to waste time when the ovary clock is ticking.  I'm a 37 yrs old for those on mobile.  I don't have insurance covering for IF but I hope the basic labs would be covered and since we paid my deductible for the D&C I definitely want to get that done this calendar year.  Thoughts?  I know we have some very knowledgeable grads so if you are lurking please chime in as well.
Thanks

I am totally with you on the deductible line of thought. I was going to try and have my fibroids removed if I am not PG by Sept. Since I am already out of pocket $4200 anyway.

I just went to my first RE appt this month and I have been trying since December with 1 chemical pregnancy in March. My OB wanted me to try a bit longer, but since my chemical, my periods have been irregular, with a lot of mid-cycle and after O spotting. She ran a couple tests and found low progesterone so she referred me to an RE. I'm glad she did! It's at least nice to start getting the baseline testing done. I would consider from the time you started trying, and would not consider a loss as restarting the clock.

I would suggest going to the RE.  On the consultation visit he did a trans-vag US and gave me reassurance that my egg supply is ok.  So since I'm just shy of 37 I feel relieved, that I have more time.  However it means nothing, really, b/c my friend at 37 went in and they said her eggs were old, and she got pregnant anyway.  But anyway I'm glad I went and I do feel good having some information.  I'm working on keeping it as INFORMATION and not having fear around it.

Thanks for the advice.  I emailed the clinic near me through their website and she said that she wouldn't recommend waiting any longer than 2 more months based on my age and history and that they schedule new patients within 3 weeks.  Unfortunately I will most likely be out of town for work next cycle since I am leaving CD 16 and last 2 cycles I haven't O'd till after CD 20.  I will talk to my H about it before making an appt but thanks for all your input.
