Just getting started

So my husband and I have decided TC . I've been keeping track of my cycle for the last 6 month, I just started tracking my BBT and am waiting to try out an OPK as soon as im done with my next period, whenever it decides it want to show up (its been about a month and a half since my last one)I have extremely irregular periods that are never consistent in any way shape or form, and it always been this way.  I was a little concerned about PCOS so I went to a GYNO and was tested. The results said I don't have it, which is great, but I guess I'm just unsure about whether or not to get checked out for other issues like endometriosis. I'm not in any extreme hurry to get preggers but I just want to get a heads up on taking care of any problems if their are any since I am so irregular. Also, I've got many family members who've suffered from endometriosis and other fertility problems. Anyone else out there with any advice or ideas?

Let's start off with GOOD LUCK: and secondly, most doctors aren't going to check for fertility problems until after a year has passes TTC with no results. Hubby has issues due to a surgery as a child and we were concerned he might have had low sperm count

Thanks for all the advise, it was very helpful. I signed up for fertility friend last week and I'm really enjoying it and has been a big help.
