Tamara,

Once we had been trying for over 18 months (and charting for 12) I took along all my charts to my GP (to show him I wasn't totally ignorant!) and "asked his advice" knowing that I'd probably be looking at some blood tests to ensure I was ovulating and a semen analysis for DH. These are the first two tests most GP's do: to find out if you are ovulating, and also to check the quantity/quality/motility of the males sperm.

From there we established that I was ovulating and that DH's sperm was all great (but a bit light on the seminal fluid, which can be a problem when trying to concieve) so we knew we had to fix DH's fluid problem (cut out the grog and the coffee and the fags).

From there, my GP suggested trying for another couple of months, and from there he would refer us to a specialist.

My advice would be to go along to your GP, armed with your own facts and figures regarding how long you have been trying, the details of your MC's etc, and tell him you want the initial tests, and then take it from there.

You are then the one in control, and this alone will most likely make you feel better?

HTH chook.
