  Yes, it is. It's time to make an appointment with an RE (reproductive endocrinologist aka fertility specialist). I'd jump right in with an RE and not waste any time with an OB. This will also ensure the proper testing is done before starting any treatment. Your OBGYN should be able to give you a referral. Best of luck to you!

  Married to DH 10/6/12

  TTC since 5/14

  Unexplained with (controlled) hypothyroidism and suspected ovulatory dysfunction (but, I do ovulate on my own)

  Clomid 50 mg 3/15 (unmonitored) - BFN

  Clomid 50 mg + metformin 4/15 (unmonitored) - BFN 

  First RE appt. 5/15; Natural cycle 5/15 monitored with 2 mature follicles and Pregnyl Trigger (full dose) + prometrium - BFN

  6/15 HSG - clear tubes & normal uterus; great PCT test results

  TI - 100 mg Clomid + prometrium (AM & PM) + vaginal estrace (AM & PM) 6-7/15 (monitored) --> no additional response and thinned lining - BFN

  TI - Injectables (follistim + Gonal-F, Ganirelix, & 1/2 dose Pregnyl) + prometrium (AM & PM) 9/15 --> 3-7 mature follicles (3 definites and 4+ that could have matured due to trigger) @ O -->BFN + 5 large cysts

  BC for 2 weeks due to cysts
  

  TI - Injectables (Gonal-F, Ganirelix & full dose Pregnyl) + prometrium (AM & PM) 10/15 --> 1 mature follicle --> BFN 

  TI - Last attempt at injectables (Gonal-F, Ganirelix & 1/2 dose Pregnyl) + crinone (AM only) + vaginal estrace (AM & PM) 11/15 --> 3-4 mature follicles --> BFP!! 11/27/15 @ 13dpo (shockingly, actually waited until then to test)

  
  

  Beta #1 @ 16dpo (11/30/15) = 1,075

  Beta #2 @ 19dpo (12/3/15) = 3,150

  One baby: Saw heartbeat @ 5w5d (114 bpm; baby measuring 2.3mm)

  Yes, I agree with going straight to the RE, the OB can't do much. The RE will immediatly start helping. Good luck!

  @mrsBaird2b I would say so. Get some labs and checked out, SO included. Whether you have a diagnosis or not it would be good to have answers! Lots of luck.

  @mrsBaird2b switching to a RE has been a great decision for me. I have never been so informed before as I do with my Re office. My OB has been nice through the years as I've been casually TTC, because honestly I didn't think I would have had a problem getting KU. I love having more knowledge of what is going on with my body each month and knowing my chances based on the tests they run. I never had that with OB. Still no BFP, but at least I feel like I'm giving it all I've got.
