DH (30) and I (26) have been TTC for about a year now. No luck so far, we're going to try another few months before we go to see a specialist. DH is diabetic, and has intermittent problems with ED as a result.
Questions:
Is it reasonable that we wait another couple of months before going to the doctor?
Will medications to treat ED have any effect on a subsequent pregnancy?

I highly recommend charting your fertility signs. Your chart can tell you when you are fertile, when you are not, when you are ovulating, when to expect your next period, and when to suspect pregnancy. Your chart can also tell you if there are issues delaying conception or causing difficulty w/ carrying a pregnancy and if there are serious issues which need a doc's attention.
Some good sources for charting your fertility signs: Fertilityfriend.com (free software as well as a pay-for version and on-line charting turorial); ovusoft.com (discussion boards for many fertility related issues, much info on fertility after the pill, and a very good software for purchase). The books Taking Charge of Your Fertility (associated w/ the the ovusoft website and software), The Art of Natural Family Planning, and Garden of Fertility

Waiting a few more months will not hurt, but you both are young & should be pretty fertile. I would have expected a pregnancy by now. I would just get to the fertility specialist, get checked out, and get the ball rolling with whatever you need to do. Brace yourself, I went through this - and cycle after cycle after cycle of fertility treatments is emotionally draining and very expensive...but those people can work miracles.

I don't believe it's reasonable to wait longer before seeking medical advice. Most doctors recommend waiting a year, which you already have. I'm sure there are a wide range of medications available to treat your husband's problem. Be sure to let the physician know that you are actively trying to conceive and I'm sure they'll take this into consideration when determining the best treatment. Good luck honey, hang in there.
