Welcome to BB, TLC
If you go to your GP and just tell them that you have been TTC since July 08, they will send you off for a blood test and probably u/s as well. At least that is what they did with me. DH also had to go and have a semen analysis. If you have been charting your temps, it might be handy to take them as well. If you aren't charting, it could be a good idea to start, that way, during the upcoming tests, and waiting for a FS appointment, you might get a month or two headstart on having a temp chart for the FS to have a look at.
Goodluck, taking that first step is a hard one
