Mandy I've read and heard the same however I've also heard of 6 months ttc being something to go on to. And if you've had babies before they seem to think 'well we know you can get pregnant' so no use worrying about doing something till 6-12 months trying. I'm lucky that I've seen the same gp for 7+ years now and she's great! But in saying that even she wasn't willing to refer me to a fs until I'd been ttc for at least 3 months.
Lol we were posting at the same time! Great news about your line still there and slightly darker. Let us know how you go with gp and hard as it is please try and relax a bit. Sending hugs your wayQuote:

Keep us posted Mandy, hope the appointment goes well
No in Australia, it's the relaxed rule of thumb here too but if you want a referral they are usually pretty good.Quote:

It's not fair at all is it, if someone is struggling to conceive they should be given help even if they have conceived naturally before, i hope your sister in law gets pregnant very soon, has she tried seeing a different doc? surely there is something they can do to help her after 2 years! my sister in law is also in a similar position, is currently on clomid (think it's her last cycle now) and she has said if she doesn't get pregnant this time she is just going to give up but I think her docs are quite good, shame they can't all be like that.Quote:

This doc is very relaxed about stuff and if she can help she will. So fingers crossed.
Good to hear you got a blood draw, Mandy! I'll be looking for an update tomorrow from you - everything crossed for a sticky bean! [emoji173]️
Just 7DPO and waiting for me. [emoji4]
