Hi ladies, I wondered what steps people had taken after TTC. My Dr said that if after 6 months, nothing has happened then DH should go in for a sperm test. Just wondering what else people have had done or what women go through for "fertility testing". Thanks in advance :)
Doctors don't usually test for things until you have been trying for 1 year if you are under 35 and 6month if 35 and over, After that time you will be tested for progesterone FSH and TSH LH and your partner will be tested with blood test and sperm test. Some cases you can get tests done earlier if you are not ovulating.
I'm currently doing all the standard tests while I wait out the 12 months, kind of a pre-12 months get all of the information before I get a referral / if no obvious problems then just keep trying for another 6 months.
CD2 bloods CD21 bloods Standard blood test to check a whole lot of other basic things Swabs (like smear test but think they check for different stuff)
For him Sperm test which she wanted repeated after 1 month.
Have a look on the FA site as they should have most of the information already available for you if you have a dig around, http://www.fertilityassociates.co.nz/Paying-for-treatment/Public-funding-and-eligibility.aspx
