Nearly 1 year ttc. Lost hope or go to GP?

[Proudmummy88]

As the title says it. We are 1 month off the full year of ttc and I'm honestly at the point Im accepting its never going to happen naturally. I know there are people on here who have been trying a lot longer but I'm assuming you've all had these thoughts.

Would anyone be able to tell me what happens when you go to the GP and what's the next step forward?

Trying to keep positive.

Thank you.

This was me.

Went to GP, husband then had to provide a sample... on the day of my appointment with the fertility doctor I found out I was pregnant.

It took well over a year.

Don't lose hope.

We tried for nearly a year and got referred,
Then got preggo before the appointment. Our Gp said she was happy to refer from a year. You could
Just go and have a chat with the Gp. It may help xx

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences. I wish I could stay hopeful. Wish I could just find some kind of answers and then not let it bother me. The time is not really the issue, it's the worry at the back of my mind that something is wrong. I don't think we will be going down any intervention routes either so that's another reason why I'm settling in my head that maybe it might never happen. At the same time....when people think it will never be...they fall

The GP appointment was so straightforward I couldn’t believe it. I actually went at 11 months (although only 8/9 of properly trying). I had day 2 bloods and have day 19 bloods tomorrow, DH is doing semen analysis tomorrow as well.

I actually found going to the GP quite reassuring. I’ve definitely obsessed less this cycle, even though it is hard not to really hope that we are one of those couples who find out they are pregnant the day of an appointment or something. It’s helped move my head into a space where I can’t do any more on my own, and I quite like it here. No doubt I’ll be on next week freaking out anew 😂
