And it went really well!

We saw OH's GP who is kind of a family friend (we were in a community group together) so it was kind of embarrassing for all of us, especially the way that OH just sort of blurted out "we want to have a baby!" :lol:

First she asked me about periods and things and I said that I was regular at around 29 days but that sometimes that fluctuated when I was stressed. She didn't seem bothered about that.

I wasn't going to tell her about temping and OPKs because I didn't want to seem to be obsessive but we explained that we'd been trying for over a year and that we hadn't used protection in all that time. Then OH started talking about different things we'd tried and he mentioned temping so I explained that I'd wanted to see if I was ovulating and that the temperatures and the OPKs made it look like I was. I was expecting her to sort of put them down but instead she just asked if it was showing something regularly, which they do.

She talked about getting me 21-day bloods taken and gave me a whole list of things that they would test for, she didn't say anything about having them done on CD5 so as I'm on CD7 today I'm booked in to have them done on the 27th! She also wants to check that I've had my rubella vaccination, which I think I have because I remember having the MMR booster thing, but she's doing a test for that just to be sure.

She also asked me about smear tests. I'm long overdue for one but I've been putting it off, so I'm booked in for one next week as well just to check that everything is alright down there.

She's said that OH should 'provide a sample' at some point, but because we live on an island there's a procedure that they go through because of sending things off to the lab so she's going to look into that and let us know.

She's also given me a prescription for folic acid so I don't have to keep buying it myself. She also suggested that we try umm... not doing it so much. :lol: We try to do it every other day in the run up to Ov so she suggested trying to abstain for a couple of days. Then we laughed because I'd told OH perhaps we were doing it too much. :lol:

So it went really really well. I was actually quite nervous about going because I have heard about such awful doctor visits on here, but it was so relaxed and nice that it was really good. I'm glad we went.

That's fab news. What a difference a nice doctor makes. I've only got a couple of months before me and hubby will have to make an appointment with our GP (if I don't get pregnant), so I hope ours is as helpful! X
 
Thats great:) I think maybe me and hubby are doing it too often as well, so I guess we will try to restrict ourselves as well...next cycle...the train has left this one;)
