Well after TTC for over a year now we finally decided to go and get some checks done. With the Spanish social security system here we knew we were in for a long wait (since once it took them 3 weeks for a PT to come back!) So... 2 weeks ago we booked into a private fertility clinic and today was our first appointment (consultation) I expected a brief chat, questions and then the BILL but it was quite good. Nothing much i didnt already know but this is how my checks are going to be planned out. Today OH had his sperm test, next week we will go back on the 2nd day of my AF (in 4-5 days) and I will have hormone tests and an ultrasound and OH will have his results from his test. Doc has written to my normal doctor to ask him to perform blood tests for us both and an up to date smear as well for me (this will save the cost of paying for them privately as they will be free from my GP) Also I have been prescribed the drug "Yasmin" to regulate my periods to the exact day. Personally i thought they were already regular at 29 days (i was late last month 5 days though!) but he said this will relax my ovaries and prepare for everything and also they will know when to do certain tests as the tablets are really reliable (though not cheap!). So, we have to call them on the 1st day of my AF and they will book me in for the ultrasound for the 2nd or 3rd day. I'm relieved we are finally going to find out whats going on but scared there is something wrong since my mum had a cyst on one of her ovaries and had to have it removed. Im going to be a wreck when it comes to going back...
