Possible secondary infertility. Did anyone go privately for a test? Or how long did nhs take?

[Tiletiletile1]

I have been trying for another baby for 18 months and I’m almost 40. I may have reached the end of my fertility, I don’t know. I haven’t spoken to my GP about it. But suddenly what was an idle want for another baby has become quite heartbreaking.

Did anyone get a private test to find out why? Are they expensive?

I think if I’m told I can’t conceive easily naturally anymore (although surely my body is telling me that!!), I’ll accept it and give up and move on. It’s the months of not knowing that are hard!

Or how long did tests take at the GP?

@Tiletiletile1 no not at all - they should still look into all those things for you.

My gp has ordered me a batch of blood tests - some to be drawn on day 3-5 of my cycle and on day 21. First one on Monday!

As my cycle is regular and normal, she didn’t hold out much hope for finding anything but was willing to order them anyway.

I was doing some reading this afternoon about how having a c-section can cause secondary infertility, which sent me in a spin! As I had an emergency c-section!

Vit C with Zinc is supposed to improve sperm quality i made DH take it every day from a week before my FW until after Ov I took vit D and folic acid that was the month we conceived -worth a try?

Good Luck xxx
