First fertility check next month and problems conceiving.

[Sunshine2022]

Hi,
It’s my first time posting on here. Feeling heartbroken. My period is always on time. I was 3 days late. I was awake since 3am this morning in excitement for taking a test. As soon as I took the test, I started my period.

We’ve been trying for 3 years with no luck. My GP has been really unhelpful - initially she refused to do any tests on me at all other than a blood test which came back normal. Also - I am 35 years old.

Eventually, she said my husband has to get checked before I can get checked. When his tests came back she didn’t get in touch. I rang up and she just laughed and said oh everything is normal. I said I wanted more detail at which point she said, the sperm morphology is 2% whereas normal starts at 4% - she said it’s nothing to worry about though because everything else is normal.

She then said she would refer me to the infertility department. My appointment is next week. I don’t know what to expect, I’m so nervous and my GP is not approachable at all.

Sorry for the long post - I had to get it all off my chest as I feel so sad as I type this...

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

So sorry you're in this path. Problems with conceiving is more common then you'd imagine.

How have you been tracking your ovulation?

@ViewsAreMine thanks - it’s really hard and mother in law doesn’t help the situation. I’ve been tracking using the ovulation pee sticks - when the two lines are super dark I assume I am ovulating but we try to keep up every other day after my period ends anyway, and then every day while the lines are dark on the test.
