So I had my first appointment with the go today. After 2 plus years of trying to conceive. Went on told the dr my story and she was like ok you need 21 day bloods done and oh needs a sperm analysis. Said she would refer me to the gyn dept. She also stayed I don't need to go back and see her?is this normal??slso said it will be about a year for the referral.

Everyone will have different experiences due to location as GPs tend to do things differently in different areas. However I was first referred early Jan last year, had blood tests straight away. DH had sperm analysis early Feb, I had ultrasound scan mid Feb and our 1st appt with fertility clinic was end of Feb. So about 8 weeks from referral to appointment. 1 year seems like a awfully long time however that may just be what the waiting list is in your area unfortunately.

I haven’t been back to the GP since no my treatment is now being managed by the fertility clinic. Hope that helps.

That's great thanks for your reply. At least that's the ball rolling now.
