When is the right time to seek medical advice?

Hi Andie

As someone who is just a little older than you, I would be going to see a fertility specialist TODAY!! (tomorrow would probably suffice though )

The rule of thumb is if you are 35 and have been trying for more than 6 months you should seek medical advice. At 38/39 there really is no time to waste.

Sorry, I dont mean to sound alarmist but I really wish I had gone to the FS five years ago.

I wish you well whatever you decide x

Hi From what i have heard ur cycles can be a bit out of whack when b/f still so if ur ready too maybe try weaning DS and see if ur cycles become more normal? If u do see a FS and go on clomid do u know if ur allowed to bf still whilst taking it?

Hi Reet, not sure but I suspect clomid and BFing don't mix. I guess one thing in my favour is I've conceived twice and had two healthy pregnancies - fingers x it'll be third time lucky too.
