First GP appointment nerves! What to expect?

[gracie1989]

Booked myself in for an appointment on Monday as hubby and I have been TTC for over a year and nothing happening yet

Feeling a bit nervous already and wondering if anybody can give me an idea of what I should expect

How reasonable is it to expect my GP will do blood tests or anything at the first appointment or is it generally just a chat?

Trying to keep my thoughts positive and try to keep my nerves to a minimum!

Hello :)

My first appointment with the GP was to flag my irregular periods. I was instantly sent for a blood test and ultrasound which lead to my pcos diagnosis.

Don’t let the doctors fob you off, if you’ve been trying more than a year you should be getting the basic checks.

At our first appointment my GP ordered cd1-5 bloods and cd21 bloods, a pelvic scan and sperm analysis for my husband. Once these were back we were referred to the hospital. Good luck xx
