three months is a little early to be concerned about needing to see a fertility specialist. I got pregnant after eight months of trying, and all though it was a ridiculous wait, my doctor said that eight months is actually pretty quick. i would say before spending unnecessary money, i’d wait it out for at least another three months. and i wouldn’t say your crazy, i’d say your just very anxious about wanting a baby, and that waiting any longer makes you feel like something is wrong with you. believe me, i went through that thought process also.
hope this helped and good luck!
baby dust to you!
I read that you should see someone if you cannot get pregnant within a year, but if you are feeling concerned, there is no harm in trying to see someone now.
Maybe go to your GP first and explain what you have been doing and see if they recommend seeing a specialist or not.
They may even be able to give you more advice on trying to conceive as well.
Good luck, I wish you all the best.
they will check your eggs, uterus and his sperm quality. although it is uncommon to go to a fertility specialist after 3 months of trying (most healthy couples can take up to a year to conceive) if it puts your mind at rest then go for it, you’ll probably conceive quicker if you’re relaxed and chilled out about the whole thing and if seeing a specialist helps then why not. good luck and all the best with it x
Crazy? I wouldnt say that. But it takes a "normal healthy" couple an average of 6-12 months to conceive. When my husband and I started trying, I was 25 and he was 30 and it took us about 9 months. Honestly, I wouldnt spend the money on a fertility specialist until it took longer than 10-12 months to conceive.
I read somewhere that statistically, even if you time your ovulation and intercourse perfectly every month, there is still only a 30% (I think it was 30, maybe lower) chance of becoming pregnant.
hey hun, if ther are factors which may make it harder to concieve like your age, if u have ever had cysts on your overies,stds etc the i would see the doctor.
If u are fit and well,3months isnt really that long to be worried, for my first we were trying for 6months then the 2nd for 1half years! Have u thought about tracking your ovulation,there are a few sites if u google it, it worked 4 us
Doctors wont usualy reffer u unless you have been trying for 1yr +. Sorry about spelling im on my mobile lol good luck hun x
Unless there is some clear evidence of trouble (i.e., complete lack of periods, or a strong history of PID) no doctor is going to see or treat you after only 3 months.
Statistically, fewer than 50% of couples are pregnant within 3 months of trying, so the odds are overwhelmingly in your favor that everything is fine.
The most the doc might do this early is ask a few basic questions about your sex practices (are you having sex? How often? Do you understand your cycles?) and maybe a normal pelvic/physical exam if you haven’t had one recently. But fertility testing is VERY expensive, and I’m sure you don’t want to shelling out thousands of dollars for tests if you dont’ have to.
(I saw the doctor after 6 months, but I had a long history of very irregular periods, and 6 months of BBT charting showed no signs of ovulation.)
I would wait longer. It takes a healthy couple, on average, about a year to conceive. My fiance and I are both in our early to mid 20s (I’m 23 he is 25) and are both healthy and it took us almost a year. Research online things that you can do to help, like elevating you hips for 30 min after sex, positions that kind of stuff. Try an ovulation kit, if you don’t have one already. It is more than normal to not have conceived after only trying for 3 months. You could, however, both go for a check up at your regular doctors. Get blood work done and that kind of stuff just to make sure everything on that end is ok. You could also go to your GYN and have a check up also. Best of luck.
I agree do not spend the money until 12 months. You may be best served by eating a healthy diet that is filled with fertile nutrients, have less tress in your life and maybe even try acupuncture to stimulate fertility even more.

No it can take a healthy couple up to 12 months. It took us 3 years and even then we never saw one. It will happen soon don’t worry!

3 months is not a long time and alot of docs will not see you before ttc for atleast a year. After a year… I went to the fertility specialist.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:32 pm
I would wait… It took me and my husband over a year to conceive our first child. Which actually didnt happen until AFTER we stopped trying…
