Thanks for the advice ladies. There are some points there I will be adding to my question list.
We have had a referral to the FS, our GP wasn't quite sure what tests to ask for hence the referral.
I'm pretty sure DH will need to donate some test swimmers, and have a BT.
As for me, initially it was thought I had a hyper thyroid but after heaps of regular BT's, GP feels its not an issue. He also gave a referral to an endocrinologist, who yes does specialize in fertility, but the nurse there felt it would be better to see a FS, as my BT were not warranting enough evidence of a hyperthyroid for the endocrinologist.
When our GP wrote to the FS, he asked the FS to contact us to first off see if we are 'eligible' to see a FS and then if this FS would/could help us. The nurse called us and was great, informative and patient with answering questions.
LionsandBears - apparently 2 blighted ovums in a row, for a 'healthy' young (32) couple is not common, however we have now had an OB, GP and a couple of MW tell us it's the first they have come across in a long time. DH's cousin is studying to be a MW, and she recently went to a seminar on early pregnancy issues, and although miscarriages are more common than recorded data, out of that about 2% are blighted ovums and usually a genetic issue is present. But of course there are minimal studies done as not all women realise they were pregnant, in time to test or track outcomes.
