This is my first post.
We’ve been TTC for 8 months. I know that’s not long but I’m 32 with a history of endometriosis and this is our first time trying. So I went to the GP about a month ago as since coming off the pill my periods have been insanely painful again. I also mentioned about TTC and she looked through my notes. She gave me some forms for bloods test for rubella, cycle days 1-4, 21 and a transvaginal scan as the pain is particularly on the left.
So I’ve had all done. I’m not showing up as immune to rubella, cycle day 21 shows I’m not ovulating and scan showed a 23mm endometrial cyst.
I said to the GP could the ovulation test be wrong as I had a particularly long cycle last month. She said it’s chicken and egg, is it negative because it was taken at the wrong time or are my cycle lengths all over the place because I’m not ovulating....
So where do we go from here....
I’ve got to have the rubella vaccine and a chlamydia test (110% that’ll be negative so not worried about that) and GP will ring hubby tomorrow re getting his swimmers tested. Once all that’s done she’ll refer us to the fertility clinic.
As an aside, some years ago, maybe 6 or so for some reason, I really don’t know why as we weren’t TTC and I was under gynae just for painful periods, I had an AMH level checked and it was very low. Add that to the mix and I’m feeling very low and negative.
Anyone had anything similar and had a success??
Thanks for reading. Sorry it’s long! X
