Doctor sending me for blood tests
Hi
We went to the doctors yesterday as we have now been trying for just over 6 months with no luck, I have very regular periods and the doctor is sending me for 2 blood tests one day 1 to 5 of my cycle and one 7 days before my period is due. They are also going to send for Hubby to have a sperm test.
Has anyone had these tests done? If so what will the blood tests hope to tell me??? I am pretty hopeless at the doctors and I'm not great at asking the right answars. He said we couldn't be reffered to a fertility clinic until 2 years of trying.

I'm 30 in Jan, I was surprised he said he would test me to be honest I thought he would make me wait longer. I go for my first test in 2 weeks thats the 7 days before period one.
