Referred to Fertility Specialist

[sunnydee]

So I've just got an appointment with a fertility specialist but I can't help but feel disappointed that its come to this, I always thought/hoped that it would happen so easily!

Hey,

I can relate a lot to this. Yesterday I saw in my handbag the notes for my blood test and the Doctor had written 'infertility work up' and although of course I am glad she is doing the tests & getting a fertility specialist involved, it's still incredibly sad it's got to this point.

Wishing you all the best with your appointment and I really hope they can help you very soon.

Are you in the UK or elsewhere?

I'm in Canada! Yes my lab work said the same 'infertility' that word freaks me out. I'm really hoping that this is my month so I don't even have to go to the appointment

Me and my partner were referred to a fertility specialist when concieving our first. He told us that if he was allowed to use the word "impossible" he would tell us it was impossible for us to concieve a baby naturally. I was pregnant 4 weeks later!

fingers crossed for you both.

Yeah I get were you're coming from. DH and I are getting our referral after we get our blood test results back. I really wanted to conceive naturally but don't think that'll happen Our GP said it would be "highly unlikely" that we could conceive naturally So we'll be the first in DH's family to need assisted conception

But I'm trying to see the positive, that we'll now hopefully be able to conceive now Luckily, assisted conception is free in Denmark if you have a referral from your GP (which you can first get after trying for 12 months no matter your age) I'm just hoping that nothing is seriously wrong with me so that it can be easily solved with IUI as I think IVF costs a bit

Hope that you soon see your

Wow thanks missk that's great to hear! I'm hoping that if there is something that there will be an easy solution!
Well I guess I'm CD1 again so il be getting the day 3 FSH blood tests, my GP had already sent me for most of the other blood tests, everything was normal except TSH was a little high so put me on a thyroid medicine.
OH had SA and results look really good, so I guess were getting closer to an answer!
Kat that's great that everything will be covered in Denmark, I think my insurance will cover everything too once referred by a GP.
I hope you see your BFP soon too!

Can I ask. Was it due to you or your hubby that Dr said impossible.. my Dr said the same thing as my husband is infertile at the moment. He starts his 5 week treatment tomorrow.
