Hi all
Firstly I have been a lurker for quite a while on the whole of mumsnet but think you guys might be able to help me....
A bit of background had a boy back in 2007 when I was 37, he wasn't planned but by the same token hadn't taken any precautions in years and didn't really give having a baby much thought. DS son turned 3 and then thought hang on need to seriously think about having another baby as I was approaching 40. We have always been a bit half hearted about baby productionbut cranked up the gears and nothing happened so I went to GP who did hormone checks which came back fine DP had sperm test again fine and I was then going to be referred to St Thomas's in London for further investigation when I became pregnant in June 2010. Sadly at 12 week scan I found out that I had a blighted ovum and had to have ERPC . Periods took months to settle down and I was having periods approx every 3 weeks. Again went to GP back in May to have hormone levels checked again and was told once more that levels are within normal range, I am ovulating and just keep trying.
We moved out of London in June to Norfolk and thought once more about sibling for DS. I conceived last year using a method I read about - BD as soon as period ends and then at day 10 of cycle BD every other day for 10 days and that seemed to work last year and this was the process we have been trying since the move but adjusting for a 3 week cycle. However my last period on 17 October took 5 1/2 weeks to appear which got me slightly concerned hence visit to doctor this morning.
Firstly I was surprised that the transfer of notes from surgery consist of a couple of lines, no previous test results or details of ERPC etc - fail to see how that can be normal in this day and age of electronic data but that is a different gripe.
Basically GP this morning said keep trying, not interested in checking hormone levels as they were checked a while ago. Said that referrels stop at 37 here and I already have a child so perhaps ought to be happy with what I have. is it totally unreasonable to want some sort of investigation initiated as I am 41, does anyone else seem to have daft cycles like I do?
If you have read this far - thanks! :-)
