@MallonMary fingers crossed for your appointment! I really hope its a decent professional and that you feel you're taken seriously and given some options...
My OH test was 6% which is normal apparently? I can't remember the other details but recently was thinking maybe I should check again in case it's on the lower side of normal.
I have had the 2 blood tests, one on Day 4 and one on Day 21 of cycle I think? They were good. I temped for 2 years and always had regular cycles and clear temp rises, and I've done ov tests a couple of times, once before we even started trying and once this month just to check all was good after the miscarriage - I got positives bang on halfway through my cycle.
I have had an infection in my womb previously (actinomycosis through insertion of copper coil) which caused intense pain and bleeding every day for 18 months. So far the doctors have all been dismissive of this as it was 7 years ago, but I do want to know more about whether I might have scarring.
I had a scan and it said I had an enlarged right ovary and also large fibroids. Then when I was pregnant the fibroids meant it was very difficult to see anything in the womb. When the miscarriage completed I was scanned again and was told my womb and ovaries look really healthy and they see fibroids every day with pregnant ladies and it's not anything to worry about since I conceived naturally.
I don't know though - it took us 16 months that first time and it's our 5th month now. I guess logically I probably can fall pregnant naturally but maybe the fibroids mean it takes longer? I'm finding it hard to stay positive though.
I have a gynaecology appointment next week and am terrified. IT's a male consultant and I'm just really scared that he won't have any empathy and won't listen to my concerns, because so much is riding on this for me! I also have another scan next week to look at the fibroids - I still don't know how many I have or where they are - I know they are about 5-7cm...
I have been told by GP that they wouldn't refer me to fertility because that's just for IVF??
I guess I'll see what happens next week and go from there. I'm secretly hoping so hard that I'm pregnant and won't need it! I've been mad tired last couple of days and breasts are tender, but then my body has been all over the place since the miscarriage - my last 4 periods really freaked me out as they were watery/pink colour and lasted half as long as usual... :(
Let me know how it goes with you. If its the sperm that's the issue (I'm not experienced) bt I'd have thought that could work out? With IVF? Would you guys consider a sperm donor? I know those kind of questions can be a bit insensitive - when people ask me if I'd adopt I feel like punching them at the moment! xxx
