I've set up this blog to try to show people what it involves to go through fertility testing and treatments.
This is the begining of what I think is going to be a long and difficult time for me & my husband.
After speaking to my GP a couple of weeks ago about how we are trying to conceive our first child, I was told that the chances of this happening naturally for us were very slim. We have not used any form of protection since just after we got married on 14 February 2004, and apparently, if it hasn't happened yet, it probably isn't going to. I'm devistated. Starting sa family together is such a basic part of life, but we can't do it.
The doctor advised referal to a specialist for testing & possible treatment, but before this referal can be done we will need to have some blood tests done. I had my tests done a few days later, but was then contacted to be told that some of the tests had been missed & that I would have to go back in to have these ones done too. I went back a week later for them, but when I got home that evening I got a call to say they had made a mistake with them and that they would have to redo them, again!
I have now booked in for Tuesday 23 September to have them repeated & my hubby is going to be having his done at the same time.
Not sure what will happen after this. I was told the referal will be sent once our results are back, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I know this is going to be a difficult journey for us. I'm already feeling emotional & I've already cried at work and it's hardly even started!
