Hi All
Just looking for some thoughts on approaching GP for help re TTC. DH and I have been trying for no 2 (already have 2 yr old girl) for 5 months. No luck yet. Not been using ovulation kits or anything like that but have been doing the deed pretty much every 2nd day from around day 9 to day 20ish. My cycle around 28-30 days. Maybe there is a small chance that we are stopping dtd too early but I think we just haven't been lucky yet. DD1 was conceived first time when I wasn't even sure I was ready for a baby! This time I am dying for another, typical!
Anyway, I am 33, I know that it is considered normal for it to take up to a year if you're under 35 and I understand that NHS docs won't do tests etc before this.
But I am worried because if I wait to go to doc till we've been trying for a year we will be lving in the US temporarily where I doubt our medical insurance (employer provided) would cover fertility tests and I am sure we would not be able to afford to go private.
is there any point going to the doc here now/soon and explaining the situation and seeing if they would do some tests earlier than normal, do you think? or has anyone had private tests and can they give a rough indication of costs for basic tests for woman and man?
Thank you so much.
sending love to everyone ttc
