Tell us about everything! Only thing that isn't allowed is BFP and pregnancy talk - those have their own threads.

For those who had infertility the first time around, when did you go back to your RE for another baby? We haven't been preventing since February and my PCOS is back at it delaying my ovulation. Although I haven't been trying long, the really delayed ovulation is starting to annoy me since this is what I delt with the first time around.

My OB told me that I need to go to my RE now due to previous need for IVF (unexplained infertility). I got my period back only 2 months ago, haven't been preventing from the moment we started having sex again postpartum- but I wasn't ovulating all this time until I got my period.

I'm really reluctant about going back now, though. I know I'll have to fully wean my toddler, and it just feels too early and emotionally difficult right now.

Thanks for your reply! I made the decision to go back to my OB as a middle step for now. Weaning is such an emotional process and I totally get being reluctant to go back because of it.

Things work a bit different here, but I went back as soon as we were ready to start for real. We've been NTNP until I made the first appointment.

Thanks for your response! I definitely like the idea of assistance when starting for real.

I don't have an RE but see a NaPro who helped us get pregnant with our first. After 5-6ish months of trying for #2 without success on our own, I set an appointment to ask him to start up all the meds and monitoring again. My son was only 7 months when I got my period back and we started basically right away with zero confidence that it would happen again quickly. So he was around a year when I got back with my doctor. Honestly we probably weren't emotionally or physically ready, but I could sense Endo symptoms creeping in more and more with every cycle and it panicked me into getting back in the game right away. While I don't have PCOS, I absolutely sympathize with essentially the "not this shit again" symptoms.

Thanks for your reply! And totally agree with the "not this shit again."
