Question Too soon for the RE?

I havent had a normal period (non provera induced) in over 4 years. I am on the heavy side with weight and I am getting sick and tired of all the excess hair. I am turning into a man!! My husband and I want to try and get pregnant next year (right now its just too soon). I have an appointment with an RE (1st appointment) next week. Do you think it is pointless/a waste to see him this early? my gyno has done all the blood tests and an internal u/s. They gave me a progesterone shot to induce a bleed and it didnt really work. The gyno is who is sending me to the RE. The gyno says I will more than likely go on clomid and when I do get pregnant it will be high risk ( I have a blood clot disorder).

If he wants to put me on metformin, we will probably have to go back to using condems again. We havent discussed what we would do in case the hypothetical metformin were to make me ovulate. We may not do anything, I guess. I dont really know why i am posting this. I guess I am just worried it is too soon to see the RE. I dont know what to do.

For those of you on metformin, is it really helping your hair and weight?

TIA!!

I think it is perfect timing to see the RE and have a consultation. It will give you time to consider your options and have any tests done that the RE wants. The first thing my RE did was set me up for a HSG to check my tubes and uterus. I ended up having a polyp removed and septum repaired.
The more prepared the better.

Good Luck

RE aren't just for those who are TTC. I see an RE and I am not TTC and have no plans to anytime soon. As for metformin, I have lost about 11 lbs since mid- May... that, along with diet and exercise of course. good luck!

I don't think it is too early to see an RE if you suspect you have PCOSor have PCOS.

In fact, my sister isn't TTC and she went to an RE and has a different endocrine disorder.

As long as the RE is knowledgable about PCOS, I feel it is a better option than just the OBGYN.

Good luck!
