Hi all! Finally de-lurking after spending way too much time cruising the boards.

I am hoping that Bees with similar experiences to mine can shed some light on the best next steps. My DH and I have been TTC for about nine months. I sought help from my GYN in August of this year for extremely heavy periods and wacky bleeding. He did bloodwork and an ultrasound. The ultrasound was normal, and the bloodwork mostly was but reflected a slight trend for elevated testosterone.

He put me on metformin to see if that would help. He didn't diagnose me with PCOS, though, because my bloodwork was mostly normal and my ovaries had no cysts. The met has regulated my periods to 32-33 day cycles with about 5 days of bleeding, which is a HUGE improvement, but I still don't think I'm ovulating every month, thanks to temping and my CBFM.

I went back for a follow up and mentioned my fears. He thought the regulation of my periods was a good sign and wants us to keep trying naturally, starting Clomid in a few months if we need to. I think he is being conservative because I'm relatively young - just turned thirty this month. However, he did a CD 21 progesterone test to assuage my fears. It came back dismally low - .84 to be exact.

I have a second follow up on Monday, but at this point, I'm wondering if I should just head straight to an RE. I am really down about all of this and am driving myself a bit crazy, so part of me thinks that taking more decisive action could help my mental state.

Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!!
