Went to the Dr today...

[FJL]

And got the pathology forms for DH to get a sperm count done.

I also talked to him about when I can start testing. He said if DH's sperm is fine, then to go back and have regular blood tests to find out if i'm ovulating or not - if I am - give it some time, if i'm not (according to a OPK last month I did) then he will send me to a specialist.

I feel a bit better now that we have a plan - we're heading into our 6th month, but I just want to be sure nothing is wrong.

 

[Jo]

6 months isn't long to be trying it took about that to concieve with Ewan, been tyring now for over a year for No2 i mentioned to our doctor and he said no tests would be done untill after 2 yrs of trying as the NHS wont pay.
You are very luck to get these tests so early.

Thanks everyone!

I didn't think he'd test me so early, I asked if I had to wait 12 months, and he said there is no point in trying for that long incase i'm not ovualting - that it would be a waste of time.

So if we don't get preg this month, i'll go see him (well, actually my other GP, I like her better) and find out for sure if i'm ovulating...if I am then it will just take time, but if i'm not then he will send me to a specialist to get me ovulating.

He seemed a little concerned that I said we've been using OPK's for the last few months, have been trying for nearly 6 months and having plenty of sex and still not preg - since we're quite young still.

He told us not to worry, that 6 months isn't that long, but went through procedures that we can do if i'm not ovulating, what causes infertility, then he went into IVF - I was like WHAT He kind of spun me out a bit because he branched out to scenarious that we haven't even thought of ourselves!

Anyway, first things first, sperm count for DH, then blood tests to see if i'm ovulating - hopefully everything is fine and its just a time thing.

I was tested for endometriosis about 6 years ago, so I know that I don't have that - I gotta try not to worry I guess!

 

[Wobbles]

Wishing you lots of luck.

Maybe we shoudl all move to Austrailia

Wow! The docs in Auz don't hang about, do they? Brilliant though that they take an interest so early on.

 

[Wobbles]

I'm booking my flights

 

[FJL]

Sure gals - take a nice trip on a private jet, bunk at my place and use my Dr

 

[miss maternal]

Glad you are getting tests done FJL. I fell pregnant when i was waiting for IUI and i think psycologically I fell because i was relaxed that something was being done about it if you know what i mean. x

Good luck and enjoy the practicing. OH is sexually frustrated now, bless him

 

[AUZZGAL]
