Just thought I would share this with the Forum. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 2 long years witout sucess. After a year I went to see a Doctor (male) at my surgery and basically he just said it takes a while and 'just keep practicing'.
Went to the nurse last week to update the inections adn I thought I would mention to her that it was now 2 years and still nothing. She advise that I make an appointment with one of the female doctors as might be they would understand from a a womens point of view.
Had my appointment yesterday and wow what a difference!!! She advised that after six months of trying you are eligable to be referred to the fertility clinic. However, she is delaying my referral for a few weeks as she would like to do some blood tests to test: progesterone levels, thyroid function, full blood count, cholesterol I think I have listed them all.
The blood test needs to be carried out on day 21 of my cycle which will be the 27th March.
Fingers crossed and I will keep you posted.
Is there anyone out there who have already been referred??
