I agree lil I'm going to tell everyone about our struggle! A girl in work is getting married in a fortnight and everyone's saying to her, oh you'll be having babies soon then blah blah. I'm not saying a word! Bets are on for who's next all the time at work. Mostly people say me, so hurtful! 5 other people have got preg, 4 of whom have babies now, since we've been ttc (21 months)
Called the clinic, the phone appointment is to make an actual appointment! The receptionist didn't really understand it either! Also called the docs to ask about my cd3 bloods. A male GP called me back unfortunately. Had to explain about the spotting versus real af and getting my dates wrong. He asked me if I was regular, and I said well between 26 and 32 days with spotting, and he said 'that aside, are you regular? Can you predict when you'll start and know if you're late'?! Wtf?! That's what I was trying to say, I can predict it to a week but confused by spotting issues! Anyway, long story short he said my bloods from the fake cd2 Wednesday were good enough. In my diary today is now cd1, and flipping agony!
ncs I don't see why they shouldn't start testing you now. Its a different relationship to your other children. It may mean you can't get fertility treatment like iui or ivf on nhs but you will get tests for free. Although some clinics have the rule that one partner may have kids from a previous, mine accepts that, but lots don't. You've got pg before in this relationship so chances are you will again and its something that can be sorted. Maybe its just that you're a few years older and its taking longer.
