I agree with you. I think many people on the board would agree that with signs that something is off you should seek help. But I also personally believe that the twelve month rule in general is a bit cruel, I would think some preliminary testing would be appropriate sooner.
If something is off, such as a 7 day LP for 3+ months, no one would flame you for seeing an RE. This is the same if there is a medical problem like no ovulation for MONTHS or something else that leads you to believe there is a problem.
You will get flamed if you are impatient, which you are sounding like by saying you would get testing sooner than 12 months just because. 12 months is a medical benchmark because 90% of people will get KU on their own in that time. Those other 10%, such as myself-do not appreciate having to wait weeks or months for an appointment because someone was impatient and wanted to start IF testing early. IF testing is expensive, painful, heartbreaking, and should not just be done to do it. Wait the 12 months and don't take away an appointment from someone who really does have IF.
At what point did I say I'd get testing sooner than 12 months just because?
