Just popping on quickly to update you all - not really blown away by my appointment but hey ho.
The doctor was lovely, asked questions, was very straight talking which I liked!
Basically he said that based on our situation, the hospital we went to wouldn't be of much help (WTF?!) and he said that he felt it was extremely important to move quickly and get tests done asap (this I liked very much lol) and he said that we need to go to his infertility clinic at a different hospital as he has a team of people there and better facilities to carry out the tests.
He came and sat next to me and said that he was certain I wasn't ovulating but he could help us out there with treatment but he wants to do tests to find out the cause. He's requested DH do another semen analysis, as he had one a few years ago but he wants all new stuff done which is great. He wants to check my eggs, quality and quantity etc and my tubes.. I felt a bit overwhelmed at this point and then he said I need to lose weight.
I've felt podgy for ages but I find it very hard to lose weight which I explained as I have a muscle problem which means I'm quite limited with mobility and what I can do to excersise. Going to have to see how I can lose some weight!!
So he knows what tests he wants to do, he just can't do them til we get a referral to his clinic - he said we won't be able to just get an appointment and we need to be referred so DH said that'd mean we'd be kept waiting and the doctor just said he'd phone my GP and tell him everything and that we would need to call on Monday to check we've been referred.
Phew.
I feel in one way disappointed cos if we'd been sent to the better clinic we might have got further cos I didn't find anything out that I didn't already know so was a bit miffed but hearing about the tests was good.
If anyone can explain what sort of tests they are, that'd be fab.
