How long is too long?

We've been trying since November to conceive #2 - with no luck. Should I be worried yet? It took no time at all to conceive DS!. And I will be 40 at the end of the year, so I don't want to waste time.

Should I just play it cool and keep trying, or do I need to start looking at ...what?

We're ttc #2, and at 36, times not on my side. The general thought is if you're over 35, and have been ttc for 6+ months, and not yet conceived, you can be referred for further fertility investigation. If you go public, it can take a few months, plus waiting list time, so may pay to just get in there ASAP, and hopefully you will get a BFP before then.

We fell with DS on the second month.
This time round it's taking forever - so depressing.
I'm 34 and have talked to my GP about it. She said not to worry (yet).
I'd talk to your GP - cover your bases.

I'm pretty sure the funding you can get reduces at 40? So it's probably worth just getting checked out so if you need a bit of help you can get it on public funding

Agree with ooligator (cool name ), since you have been trying over 6 mths, would recommend seeing your GP or going straight to F+ or FA to get the ball rolling as can take a while.    When I was early 30's, my dr referred us after 6 mths and it took ages to see somone. I'm 36 now and going to do the same this time after 6 mths of trying for #2.
heres hoping the baby dust works before then

At 36 I was told in can take up to 1 year to conceive it took 13 months, and it takes longer as you get older. 
You can always get a blood test done to confirm your FSH and LH levels.

The main reason they ask older women to seek help after 6 months, is you don't have a lot of time if you do need assistance, and public funding for IVF isn't available once your 40.
