how long did you wait to see a doctor about infertility? we've been ttc for over a year. everyone says to see a doctor after a year, but I can't get myself to do it. my husband doesn't want to because he thinks it's too personal and wants me to get pregnant without medical help. I'm just wondering if anyone waited longer and ended up pregnant, or if we are just wasting time by not going.
