Me & DP have being TTC for almost 3 years

I fell pregnant once though had a miscarriage which I went to my Doctor about & he told me i was wrong even though I had tested positive the week before Hmm

I'm 26 & Dp is 30 , I don't drink or smoke .
I'm obviously worried but I'm not sure whether I'm over reacting tbh as I'm a but of a worrier.

I have just been thinking that i should just let nature take its course but maybe now I need some medical help ?

So where do I start with it all ?

Should I see my not so nice GP or can I see the Nurse ?
Is their anything I can do to help ?

Hi 3 years that very tough! Have they ran tests on you and dp? Most gps will do this after a year of trying? That's the first step I think, see if anything is wrong, as it's your first dc they should be able to help you out a lot depending on where you are in the country I think?

Hi I have also been ttc for that amount of time its a horrible process especially when everyone around you is getting pregnant. I would defiantly seek medical advise I have and im going through process now I had my bloods back and I can ovulate which has already lifted my spirits endless amounts waiting for my partners results now but it will give you peace of mind to know. Book an appointment with your GP and explain and they will put you through the correct process. Good luck and try to stay positive ( even though that is easier said then done.

Unless your DPs tests were recent I would advise getting them repeated. If your GP wasn't great can you book with a different doctor. Sometimes requesting a female doctor helps (assuming your existing GP is a man) if your surgery like you to see the same doc each time. In the meantime continue to have regular sex, especially around the time you ovulate. You could try using OPKs and temperatures if you are not doing this already

No DPS tests were not recent so I'll get him to have them redone .
My GP is a complete arse so hopefully they will let me see the other one who is also male as their are Jo female GPs at my surgery .

What are OPks & how do I know when I'm ovulating Blush sorry this is all new to me

Your doctor will do some tests to confirm you are ovulating. However it can be helpful to try and pinpoint when you ovulate yourself. If you have a clearer idea of when you ovulate you can ensure you have sex at your most fertile time in your cycle.

Crazy they'll do your 21 day bloods, see if you're ovulating and go from there. Not much you can do before you know if you're ovulating or not! Mine booked mine in really quickly after I went in after a year of trying and weirdly that month I got pregnant! Sometimes when you're not thinking about it, it happens, annoying to say I know Smile

Are your cycles regular?

Owlysims · 30/01/2014 10:44

I think as long as you have been Dtd reagularly they will still run tests etc. without you doing ovulation sticks. My doctor didn't seem to thrilled with ov sticks as even if they're positive doesn't mean you're ovulating, in saying that I work still start doing some to try to time sex at the right times!! I used clearblue dual hormone ones which were good, have all the instructions on box for you and no lines to decipher! Just smiley faces! Grin

Go to your gp and they will organise tests for you and your DP. In my experience it can take ages to get all the tests on the nhs so if you are really desperate and can afford it go to a private fertility clinic.
I would say the earlier you get all the tests and everything out of the way the earlier you can get help of it's needed. And if there is nothing wrong then you will have peace of mind!
Goods luck x

in the meantime try to stay positive ( im saying this as I do believe positive thinking is sometimes the key) maybe do some spontaneous things with your partner try to take your mind of things. Something that always keeps me going is we live in a very modern world and things can be done to help. Also openly talking about it and hearing over peoples experiences has helped...

Have a look at this site there is a lot of info on there. The book is worth a read if you can get it from the library, it is not just about trying for a baby it gives lots of other info. How long are your cycles , if they are short then you coould be ovulating earlier or if they are long you could be ovulating much later than day 14. Here is the site www.tcoyf.com/

Ps you could book an appointment with a private gynocolgist who would be able to do scans etc to see if you are ovulating but that costs quite a lot.
