My infertility issue

[Leremy]

Hi all!
Am new here and need help over my infertility problem.
It's been four years of marriage but no child yet...too shy to see doctors !

Hi @Leremy

I didn’t want any intervention but after three years of trying we decided we needed help and are on the IVF journey. How old are you? It’s best to start the journey sooner rather than later if you can. I wouldn’t be shy seeing doctors, they are familiar with all this, don’t worry. Do what’s best for you, stay strong ❤️

Please you do need to see a doctor don't wait too long as 4 years is very long time not To get pregnant . You could have blocked tubes or male side infertility . Please see a doctor , there is nothing to worry about , absolutely nothing I promise . I have been about 100 times in and out of doctors about infertility , I lost count . And I got help and I know the problem.
I don't know how old you are but if I was you I would go as soon as possible xxx

I would go and speak to the doctors. I’m currently going through investigations as to why we can’t conceive. It’s not so scary!

There could be a number of reasons, you might not be ovulating, hormone issues, blocked tubes, could be so erm issues. Many of these things you just won’t know without investigations.

I’m likely on a long road towards IVF to help us have a family but without doctors help this wouldn’t be possible. If you’ve been trying for 4 years, they should take you seriously and start some tests.

They see people all the time, day in day out. Nothing to be shy about.

I appreciate how daunting it must be to take that leap to go and see the doctors.

But you have to imagine that you could be losing out on years getting the support you need to conceive. This isn't something one should feel embarrassed or ashamed about.

Best of luck

If your shy then ivf is NOT for you… it’s very intrusive
I was with my partner 18 years and no pregnancy so had to do ICSI now we have a 3 year old

@Leremy no need to feel shame. It's nothing either of you did.

Some starter Q's for infertility:

1. do you have regular cycles eg how long between periods
2. do you have sex regularly (2-3 times per week), during which the male ejaculates in you
3. what age are you both

One good tip if you feel embarrassed to speak to a GP is to write things down and hand it to them

Maybe start with a female gyno or female Fertility Specialist. I understand, I'm always embarrassed to go doctors but unfortunately that's the only way to get some answers and help.
