Conceiving after August '09 D&C

Hello. Thank you for reading my question. I had a D&C (10 weeks pregnant) in August 2009. I took Yaz birth control the following month in order to get my menstrual cycle on track. I have been trying to conceive since then. I'm 33 years old, healthy, exercise often, and I have been taking prenatal vitamins. I was receiving weekly acupuncture treatments for 6 months but recently stopped them. Some months I have taken evening primrose oil, maca and red raspberry leaf. I feel I should increase my CM. My question to you is should I seek fertility testing/treatment? Thanks again.

Hi!
My usual rule of thumb is to start fertility testing after 6 months of "trying" for women over 30. For those under 30, I wait up to a year.  You could go to a fertility specialist, or you could stat out working with your regular Ob/Gyn doctor..

I hope this helps!
