TTC after 1 year...what now?

We have been TTC for about a year. I have abnormal periods, but my family doc said its still possible to get PG. He also told me to start taking Folic Acid. So its been almost a year, should I try getting referred to a gyno dr. now to see if we can get something to speed things up? Not sure what to do from here, but I know my mom had to have fertility drugs TTC with me, is it hereditary?
