Just wanted to vent some frustration....
Been to docs this morning for cd21 blood tests results. He said they were normal & I am definitely ovulating which was a relief. But then we were discusing my periods & when I said my cycles were approx 31 days long he kept saying that's far too long & not normal....I was thinking well it's only 3 days extra than what you consider 'normal' so it's not that bad....then he said the normal is 20 so 31 days is far too long....20??? How the hell does he count it???!!! He's referring to me to a fertility clinic though and has told me to get my bf to have a sperm test....which is easier said than done. My bf doesn't want to go for it & said we should wait a month or 2 (we've been ttc for 13 months now), I said we can't cos he has to have it done before I get the appointment through for the fertility clinic. He said he's scared which I totally understand but we still need to get it done!! If there is something wrong there's loads that can be done. I understand that for men it's hard & some think they're not a proper 'man' if there's something wrong with their sperm (ridiculous) but I'm at that point now that I need to know if something is wrong & if there is lets get it put right if poss. Any ideas how I can make him come round to the idea?
