Losing patience and hope...any successful swayers here who took 6 mon plus to get pg?

I went to my obgyn and asked her to refer me to a fertility doctor. She wanted to take some preliminary tests and then 'sent' me to the fertility doctor. Come to find out, I didn't need a referral so long as I stay within my insurance plans 'perferred providers'. Is that the case for you too or do you need a set 'referral'?

I believe I would need a referral, but I am not 100% sure. I'll try to call tomorrow and see and what they might have open for appointments. With my luck, I'll need a referral and if I don't they probably won't have new pt appts until next year..lol. My insurance is tricky, it's a program based with my place of employment and there's usually stipulations to everything but the rates are better than most other plans and they give better discounts for using mds associated with the hospital I work for.
