GP early than 1year?

Hello,
Has anyone asked the GP for some fertility tests before the time stated?
I m 27 and my DP is 36, we should try for 1 year before any referrals, but I m concerned something is wrong and I just can't wait that long. Any thoughts?

I m only halfway so 6 months of trying...I know it's still very early but is so frustrating knowing that you do all and receive nothing.
Maybe I will search for a private clinic instead.
Also found some sperm quality self test in boots...do you think they work?

How long have you been trying?
My first took 13 months to conceive. No known issues, and my second and third were conceived first month of trying. Sometimes it just takes a while.
I don’t think a GP would refer to tests prior to the 1 year mark.

How long have you been trying? Are you far off the 1yr?
