Where do I start?

I’ve (25F) been TTC since July 2022. So far, no luck.
I think I have PCOS because since quitting birth control I’ve gained 70lbs, started breaking out for the first time as an adult, my periods haven’t been the most regular (and are light/heavy randomly) and 2 have been skipped entirely, and when tracking my LH levels, they never really went up.
I haven’t been to any sort of doctor since June 2022 since I moved cross country and haven’t looked for a doctor yet.
My question is, where do I start? Do I go to a primary care, or OBGYN, or a fertility specialist because of how long it’s been?
I have no idea what to do.

Your OBGYN should be able to refer you to a fertility specialist

I think you can go straight to a fertility specialist considering it’s been over a year

GBs positive at 36 weeks

Can anyone please share what they did when they tested positive? I’m devastated, I was planning a physiological birth and they told me if I’m positive I have to get antibiotics and be induced. This is my last birth I really wanted it to be natural I wanted to avoid antibiotics altogether, I’m beyond myself can’t stop crying

Is this normal?

Is it normal for my husband to feel like all touching is sexual? Recently I was asking for more nonsexual touching, like cuddling and hugging etc, especially when I’m feeling touched out and exhausted and just want normal affection. He’s a very loving and doting husband and ofc wants to oblige, but he was like, “It’s difficult because you’re gorgeous and every kind of touch feels like it could lead there.“ Basically he was explaining that he gets turned on by me with any kind of touch, and it’s hard for him not to want more.

I acknowledge that after 7 years of marriage maybe this is the opposite of a problem 😂 But I feel like humans should be able to touch and cuddle without it always being a turn on??
Is it normal for a guy to be turned on by any touching??
