hope you don't mind.....
Hi ladies, I am new to this forum and I hope you don't mind me intruding!
I pop into the TTC forum every so often but I was hoping that someone here might be able to give me some advice.
Me and OH have been ttc for 12 months now and we thought we had cracked it this month when i was 5 days late, unfortunately test was a BFN and then AF turned up! I was dissapointed on the day but trying hard to keep my pma up for the sake of us both. (I think OH is finding it more frustrating and is blaming himself!)
I just wondered if any of you thought that it would be a good time to go to the docs now for sperm analysist and blood test. Alot of things i have read have said after a year you can seek advice but then they tell you that most couples won't get pregnant untill after a year of trying anyway.
Just tell me if you think I am being silly and should stop worrying! I probably just need to good talking too!!!!!!
Thanks ladies

As Diane said there no harm in going to see your GP. Even if they say you have to wait another year it might speed things up a teensy bit down the line (hopefully not needed!).
Hope you get ur BFP soon

I would go armed to the doctors with details of cycles, whether you get positives on ov sticks. Say you BD every other day.
They probably will do some blood tests and maybe ultarsound and SA for your hubbie.
They dont have to test you until two years TTC if you are under 35 but most GPs play ball at one year
Good luck I think it is a great idea to get the ball rolling
You never know you might get your BFP in the mean time
We have both got the day off thurs so think we are going to get in then.
Thanks for all the adivice, I'll let you know how it goes.

Good luck with the docs. Fingers crossed they'll check you out.

Doctor was fantastic, really helpful and has agreed that I can have my blood tests done to check my hormone levels etc and he is going to contact the hospital to refer the OH for his SA. Think all this process will take about 2 months due to the dates of my cycle and the dates that we need the bloods but I feel good! Feel comfortable that we have a nice doctor who was understanding and willing to be very helpful....
So fingers crossed.
If you ladies don't mind I would like to keeo popping into this forum, you have all been very helpful and very understanding, thankyou all so much!
