We are only on cycle 1 but....

I am already wondering if I should see an RE, I have very regular cycles and did the OPK last month and noticed the ovulation pain and other....symptoms we talk about on here, the CM.

Ok, so anyway I am diagnosed Celiac and have been gluten free for about 15 months. It isn't that long, in the grand scheme of things, I don't fully feel the way I did before going gluten free, there are lingering side effects. And i just had a setback just this past week with cross-contamination. I did not have Celiac before DD, it was absolutely post partum that I developed the symptoms of the disease, GI issues, numbness and tingling, itchiness, and weight gain (some ppl have weight loss), plus irritability, restless leg syndrome, fatigue and insomnia...to name a few. awful stuff!

Anyway I know Celiac can interfere with fertility. I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this? Would an RE want a certain number of failed cycles before they work with you?

Why would you see an RE after 1 cycle? You had a successful pregnancy previously and even say you have regular periods, got positive OPKs and felt ovulation.

You have zero reason to go to an RE right now. 

Do not borrow trouble. Do not waste a physician's time, your time, and your insurance company's money trying to fish for something that does not exist at the moment.   

TTC #1 since 10/2012.
BFP #1 11/28/12, EDD 8/10/13. MMC found 1/11/13, measured 5w6d
BFP #2 4/16/13, CP 4/17/13
Current status: TTA until Fall '13

This. You have NO indication that you would need medical assistance to get pregnant. Other than maybe Dr. Google.   But you want to just go straight to a RE because you have celiac issues? 

That sounds pretty crazy and psycho impatient.  Don't borrow trouble and work through the correct channels (which is 1 year according to most medical professionals and insurance guidelines).

I just wanna know why people seem to WANT to have to see an RE around this place! It's like they grasp at straws trying to find reasons to go. It's ridiculous.

OP, there's no reason for you to see an RE right now. Have you discussed TTC with your Dr and talked about the effects this could have with TTC? I mean, from what I gather it's been 1 cycle. You have no reason to assume that you can't get pregnant.

If you're feeling much better gluten free, I would give it some time before seeing an RE. If you're really concerned, give your GP a call and chat with him/her about it.

You said you have regular cycles and think you're ovulating. There is no reason to go to an RE before you've been TTC for 1 year. Calm down and start charting your BBT if you want to increase your chances.

You are on month #1, have clear signs of O, and already have a child.  You have no indications that Celtiac's is interfering with your fertility.  There is no reason to go to a RE.  Calm your tits.

Everyone else has pretty much covered it but I will just reiterate it.  You are on your FIRST cycle TTC.  Having Celiac disease does not necessarily mean that you will have fertility problems.  Especially since you have already had a successful pregnancy which I would assume was without fertility treatment.  Start charting and using OPKs.  There is absolutely no need to see an RE.

OP talk to your doctor if you are worried but until you have some sort of IF symptoms (several long anovulatory cycles, multiple MC, or a year of TTC with no success) there is no need to see an RE. 



TTC #1 since August 2011
September 2012: Start IF testing
DH (30): SA is good
Me (30): Slightly low progesterone, hostile CM, and carrier for CF
October 2012: Clomid + IUI #1 w/ OB/GYN = BFN
December 2012 - March 2013: Break while finding the right RE.
April 2013: Unmedicated IUI #2 due to hostile CM = BFN
May 2013: Clomid + Trigger + IUI #3 = BFN
June 2013: Clomid + Trigger + IUI #4

Don't forget regular meetings with the dildo cam! Good times, good times.

OP, it doesn't sound like there is any reason for a trip to the RE yet.

If your celiac was affecting fertility, you would probably want to talk to your gastro dr first since they have more knowledge of celiac.  There's no inclination that celiac is affecting your fertility.  In fact, the people that it affects mostly are the people that don't know they have it, aren't gluten free, and have never been able to conceive or carry to term.  You know have it, sounds like you are gluten free, and have had a child. You are on cycle 1.  You need to chill out.  This could be a long process.

Dx with PCOS in 2006.
Cycle 2 off of BCP. No O in Cycle 1.
Saw RE 2/13. Starting Metformin. Continue to try naturally. Will try clomid in Spring depending on b/w and u/s.
B/W (tsh, lipids, iron, b12, etc)- good
Fasting glucose tolerance--?
Day 3 B/W -?
DH SA-?

You guys are awesome. I am glad I posted this and then went to bed and got a good night's sleep and relooked at it. Ok, yes you are ALL right, and I know that!!

I come from a long line of worriers, and there is no shortness of things I obsess over, so TTC for us, is of course fun and wonderful, but my mind goes 1100 places with it, what with my medical past, and our first time TTC which took 11 months. which is still, I know, in the realm of normal as far as an RE is concerned. I'm sorry if I offended you guys, who have spent many more months and have a lot more experience with this process. I promise to chill out.

For all of the reasons mentioned, plus obsessing doesn't necessarily a baby make

Yes

I'm glad you were able to look at this with fresh eyes and appreciate the advice that was given. As a fellow worrier, I understand what you are saying about the thousands of places one's mind can go. As hard as it is, try not to worry about what might or might not be. Best of luck to you!
