Been ttc dc#2 for 15 cycles now. Conceived ds naturally with no problems first time around so no idea why taking so long. Had initial day 2/21 blood tests done at gp's, fsh/lh came back normal but progesterone was <1. Also had my thyroid tested as i've gained a lot of weight lately yhat i'm struggling to lose, have dry cracked skin, carpal tunnel, joint pain & various other symptoms but tsh came back as 0.7 so apparently normal, although they didnt test t3 or free t4 & took no interest in the symptoms. Dh's SA came back normal. Gp is going to refer us to gynae but has basically said that because there is nothing medically wrong with us & we already have a child, the pct are unlikely to fund even the investigations & will most probably block the referral unless he lies on the form & says i'm having menstrual issues. I've rung & checked with the pct & they confirmed what my gp said, there is no funding for investigations in this area. I actually broke down in tears on the phone because i had no idea, esp after reading on here how many women get a referral & have the tests eg HSG so they can at least find out if there is something medically wrong or if its unexplained fertility. I know we wouldn't qualify for free treatment & that is perfectly understandable as it should rightly go to those who don't have any children yet, but i feel like surely we should be able to know for certain if there is a medical issue or not. What if my previous c-section has caused internal scarring & that is preventing us from conceiving. What if i'm not ovulating or if my progesterone levels are insufficiently high enough to sustain pregnancy? Tough - because i already have one child. I don't mean that to sound ungrateful, i know i am so so lucky to have ds, he means the world to me, but i had always envisaged having another & its heartbreaking to think it may never happen. Is this peculiar to our pct or is this happening all over the country? How do we move forward? [sad]
