Doctor wont help us and my wife is so upset, please help!

[LovingHusband]

My wife and I have been trying for a baby for over 12 months. We began to get concerned something is wrong so we went to see the doctors.

She came back from the doctors today after receiving her blood test for hormones and she was crying saying the doctor said everything seems fine, except for her Progesterone levels was "a little off". I feel terrible and cant see her in this much heartache.

Note: I also went to see my doctor before she got the results back and he said I could not take any tests because she has to be referred to a fertility clinic?

If anyone can help me and my wife I would be eternally grateful to you.

Many thanks,

Loving Husband

I agree with maryz, if your wife is having regular cycles then I would keep having sex every other day from as early in her cycle as possible so you can be sure you haven't missed ovulation.

As others have said, different doctors have very different attitudes towards fertility problems. I am currently on my 6th doctor and in the process of being referred to a fertility clinic now. From what I've been told its best to get as many tests done as possible now as a starting point so when you have the first appointment with the specialist they can already have an idea of your situation and any problems can be dealt with asap. before referral I had all my bloods done, dh had a semen analysis and bloods taken. keep trying doctors until you get a referral. they can need a lot of pushing sometimes.

You can actually dtd too much, apparently. If the man's contribution isn't tippitytop, EOD is ideal. Twice a day might mean that the swimmers don't have time to mature properly.

But yes, having plenty of swi is the key for most people. A small percentage need medical assistance.
