    How long do you TTC before seeing doctor?

    Thanks ladies I appreciate your advice. I knew it was too early yet but my husband had asked what the process is if we don't fall naturally. I have never had regular cycles and have joined FF. I have in the past been told I wasn't ovulating which is when we decided not to try, go on an overseas holiday then come back and see FS. But, DD decided we were ready :-) Although because of this DH thinks he has super sperm and we will fall easily this time. Fingers crossed him being so optimistic will help.

    I've known people who try for years to conceive before consulting a doctor. It took me about a year and I'd say if you are fairly young (35 and below) you do not have much to worry about. After a year and you're approaching mid thirties, I would consult a doctor for assistance. My grandmother had difficulties conceiving for 15 years before she went to a specialist. My mom on the other hand, had no trouble whatsoever.

    I was 33 when I started trying and went to the Dr after 6 months of unsuccessful TTC.... I am really glad I went then, as I wouldn't be as far along my TTC journey now if I hadn't gone to the FS then.

    But keep your chin up, it takes most normal couples 6 - 12 months on average to get pregnant - so try to enjoy the journey - and have fun, it will be so much easier if you do
