NHS tests - what to ask for?

[Remy87]

Hi all - hoping for some help / any insight from anyone having gone through this. I am 36 been TTC first since last summer so have asked GP to investigate. My partners semen analysis is all normal and my blood work has come back "normal" but I've asked for an appointment to discuss what next as feel like that can't be it? What do I need to ask / push for?
Thank you in advance !

Hi anyone able to help? I have an appointment today so don't want to be fobbed off! Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place !

You'll need a referral to the fertility clinic for further tests, they'll be able to book you in for a HSG to check your tubes are open

Hi Remy, sorry to read you're going through this. Most likely a fertility clinic referral is what you're after to then discuss next tests and options in more detail. I'd probably take details of your cycles to the GP too.

A HyCosy scan through a fertility clinic might be the recommended next step after that?

They can also do blood tests to check that you are ovulating (you may have had these as part of the blood work) - can be done via GP surgery.

Id ask for

• fulll blood test
• blood tests 4 vit d , feretin , b12
• blood test 4 prolactin
• blood test 4 progesterone - 7 days after ovulation...

Also - transvaginal scan to rule out structural / fibroids....

Also -
