We have been TTC #2 for 9 months (after conceiving DS first cycle 18 months ago, and very straightforward pg), and in that time have had one chemical preg and recently one miscarriage at 5+1.
GP has advised, as I think is standard, that he won't refer us for tests until we've been trying for a year (not sure how the MC impacts on this).
Obviously I'm hoping not to get to that point, but just wondering whether, if we do get referred, there is anything I could be doing now which would help. E.g. will they ask me to keep a detailed record of my cycle? And if so, how best to do this - temp charting? OPKs? Am suspicious that I may have a luteal phase defect (OV lateish in cycle), and really want to avoid getting a referal at a year only to be asked to keep detailed records for a few months or something before they'll do anything more.
Any advice / experiences much appreciated.
