Hi ladies sorry for long post, I have been gone a few months as I needed to rest my brain.
A little background for people…. We have a 5 year old son who we struggled to conceive luckily only for 12 months, we had a referral to fertility clinic for testing to work out why. Anyway my last test was the HSG dye test and we were due to see the consultant for all the overall results the same month (obv can’t be pregnant before this test so no bding was done before), well few days before our appointment I took a test and it was positive, consultant then told us both my tubes were blocked on my dye test result. All we can think of is they unblocked from the dye.
Anyway fast forward to last year, we decided to have my contraceptive implant removed (ended up being delayed due to covid lockdown as this was priority care so they wouldn’t let me book in). Anyway got it out sept 2020 and periods returned straight away and were regular. 5 months later I spoke to Gp with possibility of doing some bloods and stuff and when I could have a referral back to the clinic, baring in mind that my results had block tubes and there is nothing saying they won’t re block after so long so I expected to be referred early. But no he informed me this was no reason to refer me early and that we would have to try again for 12 months. I was very sad about this as I just felt all I wanted to know is if they are blocked, like if they were we was just wasting our time for months. I kept trying to get a referral another few times even quoting the NICE guidance which sets how and when care is provided on the NHS and they still wouldn’t until I spoke to this lovely GP and cried my eyes out down the phone and she referred me at the 11 months point. The clinic have since informed me the GP should have referred me early.
Anyway we had our first appointment end of October and they were fast at getting so many appointments in. We have had bloods, swabs. Still waiting for my internal scan which is Saturday BUT I have had my HSG she got me in ASAP for that which is great. So I had it a week today. It’s always after AF and before you O. So it was just at the start of my fertile days, we have managed 3 bding (exact same amount we managed to conceive my son), I just really praying hard it’s worked again. Husband sperm sample left to do but we doing that next month if AF sadly arrives (didn’t want to waste any of them by putting them in a sample pot lol).
again really sorry for long message. Please pray, trying so hard no to symptom spot and I am off work this week so nothing to distract me.
I'm so happy they finally referred you hun! I have everything crossed the test is just what was needed and you conceive this cycle.
