I was diagnosed with PCOS and did injectible hormones, hence getting triplets. I know sometimes they say that pregnancy can "reset" your body and you don't have problems after, but I am wondering how long I should wait for my period before I consider going back to the RE. I have almost stopped bleeding 3 weeks out, just some small brown spotting. I am going to ask at my postpartum follow-up but I was just curious about what you all thought.
Thanks!

Re: For those with Infertility
My RE wanted to wait to see me until after my first period after we lost my daughter and then again after the second period to run some additional testing on me. I am glad that I called when I did because their appointments always fill up really quickly. We weren't ready to try again and still aren't but I still wanted to meet with him and I am glad that we did. Hugs to you.

Everyone Welcome!
That is kinda where my thought process is. I only had one natural cycle after stopping BCP, 1 year and 3 months prior to getting pregnant with help. So I was thinking the same thing, that I might just want to try to get an appointment. Thank you!
I didn't know how bad our IF was until after losing Eliott (we conceived on our 2nd Clomid cycle)- after a few months without AF returning, I went to my OB. We did a few more Clomid cycles with monitoring, and then I asked for a referral to an RE. I think it was 5 months after our loss. If I had known then how bad our IF really was, I would have asked for an RE appointment right away.

I also have PCOS and I got pregnant after an IUI with the help of injectibles. Unfortunately, we had to terminate the pregnancy 6 weeks ago because it was ectopic. I had to have 2 rounds of methotrexate to stop the growth of the cells.
We have to wait at least 3 months to start trying again, but we are choosing to wait 4 months because we have a large trip to Europe planned for October. My RE wants to see us soon, but I've been putting off making an appointment. My RE is relatively easy to get an appointment with so I haven't been stressing it. I used to have to make appts a month in advance with my last RE, so I think it depends on how long it'll take to get an appt and if you're reading to resume ttc.
