TTC when can i see fertility doctor

Please bear with me new to all of this, still learning all the terms.
My key question is when can i see a doctor about my fertility (or possible lack of)?
I was diagnosed with PCOS about 6+ years ago (I'm 24), I stopped depo January 2020, and started TTC June, I've been tracking my BBT and using the clearblue ovulation kit. I know I'm very early on in it all but I just know I'm gonna struggle, I started off never having periods, spotting for a day like 5 times a year, i was diagnosed then wasn't till I started birth control that i got a period. The implant made me heavy bleed 9 months straight before they let me switch to depo injections where it was hit or miss if i got a period. In all that i have no idea if I've ever even ovulated at all as i rarely got cramps except those associated with my IBS (different placement, i can usually tell the difference).
So I feel pretty helpless in that my whole uterus just doesn't cooperate. Among all this I've also been obese my entire life (I'm tall so it evens out but I'm still obese). I've never been able to lose weight except when i was incredibly ill and didn't eat at all.
My ovulation kit was high for 5 days then i had a period, then high again for 5 days, I've seen no peaks.
TLDR: I've got a lot of negative balls in my court, at what point can i see i specialist to help me conceive?

I think the general rule is if you are under 35 and ttc for 1 year or over 35 and ttc for 6 months. But I’ve only been trying 3 months and concerned about spotting mid cycle and doctor sent me for d21 bloods so they can do some things earlier. Dont know if they’d refer you before the 6/12 months tho but always worth speaking to doctor if you have concerns?
