Hi all,
I'm sorry for the newbie post here, just really looking for some advice/people to talk to.
I have been with my partner for 5 years now. We haven't actively tried for children all this time however haven't used contraception the majority of the time and we haven't fallen pregnant at all. My partner always thought he may be infertile because of a previous relationship he had (his ex has now has two kids since). I have been pregnant before when I was younger which ended in miscarriage so completely aware there may be issues with myself.
We're slowly starting to take the steps to find out what/if there are issues. My partner went to his GP on Monday and they referred him to a fertility clinic in Aberdeen where he would get a semen sample. He's booked to go in a week on Friday to get this done.
I'm just wondering what the next steps are going to be for any of you who have gone through this process? I'm worrying about results and thinking of possible outcomes when I shouldn't but just want to have all the information at hand.
For extra info - I have had blood tests at 21 days, all okay. Taken ovulation tests to confirm ovulation and one of those 'boots' female fertility test - on that we have the male one too, are these worth taking at all?
Sorry for the long post. I'm just a bit lost and confused and looking for someone to talk to
