Here is my story... I was on the pill for over 15 years and went off to try and lose weight before we got pregnant. I had regular 28 day cycles and felt ovulation pains occasionally. We tried to conceive since this January with no luck. I charted, temped and checked my cm, but no luck. In August I had 2 odd cycles, one long and one short. Since this was odd for me, I went to my ob/gyn first, who told me it didn't sound like I was ovulating and referred me to an RE. I only waited about 7 months myself before going to get help, since I turned 30 in August. The RE then diagnosed me with PCOS and were going to put my on clomid to help me ovulate, since all my other bloodwork came back normal. I got a glucose tolerance test, FSH, LH etc...Well, I never got put on clomid because of a huge cyst, which persisted for 2 months. Instead of wasting time, we used this month to do additional testing. This month I got my HSG and apparently ovulated too because I am now 5.5 weeks pregnant. I know every dr is different, but if you think something is wrong after temping or if your cycles are abnormal, I think 6 months is long enough to try and I would go right to an RE instead of wasting time with an ob/gyn. My advice is to know your body and note when you are having fertile cm, then bd every other day during that time until O is confirmed. That is what I did this month after my HSG and it seemed to have worked. Sorry this is so long. Please ask questions if you have them. Good luck!
