when to go to docs re ttc?

[kirstr1984]

We have been ttc now for 7 months now. Af arrived this morning so obviously very disheartened. When would you suggest going to the doctors for advise etc?

It depends on ur age and if u have 1 already, how long it took to conceive. I would speak to ur gp now any way and they will advice u on what to do. Good luck xx

Thank you. We do have a child which took 7 months to conceive but I was under the impression it was quicker the second time. I'm 30 so knocking on a bit now! X

Won't hurt to talk to your doctor. Are you charting, etc.?

I believe the rule of thumb is if you are under 35, then wait 12 months. If you are 35 and over, then it is 6 months.

I wonder the same thing, even though we are only going into our 5th cycle. Both my kids were conceived within the first 2 months. Maybe it's because I'm 7 years older now than the last time I had a baby but I still wonder how long to wait to worry.

I'm 23, I have a 2 year old DD and I've been told to wait a year so since I'm young without a history of fertility problems, I'd guess 12 months is the maximum

12 months is usually how long they want you to wait, especially if your cycles are normal. The sooner you go, the better though. It was a 6 month wait for my first appointment, and then I had to go through all the tests. Finally now at 2 years TTC I've started Clomid. It can be quite a process.

In some areas in the UK, it's now 2 years. It was 2 years at my doctors surgery before they wanted to know.

I was 24 when ttc Dd and I had to wait a year. i got hormone results back normal the day before I got my bfp x 7 months isn't too long though it I know it's awful waiting. Think it'll be a year you have to wait x
