Starting testing process after 1 year TTC

Hi my DH (32) and I (30) went to the GP this week to start the testing process after 1 year TTC. She ordered a range of blood tests, sperm count, pelvic ultrasound and wrote a referral to a fertility specialist (booked in end of October).

Just wondering what other people's experiences were going through this process.

I'm in a similar situation. My DH is 34 and I'm 35 the doctor wanted him to have a sperm analysis before he sends me for tests. DHs results have been in for nearly a week now but he keeps saying he can't get hold of anyone or he didn't have time to go. I think he thinks that there will be a problem with his sperm. Im hoping he will go get them soon so I don't feel like I am nagging him. Its awful waiting but trying to stay positive and keep trying in the meantime. Hope it all does well for you.

Your story about your husband not going to pick up the results is just such a man thing to do. I can totally imagine mine doing the same. In a way it makes me feel better that he has to do this one little awkward thing, considering how many people are likely to see me half naked and all the tests and prodding we will likely go through, not to mention the whole pregnancy thing.

I know what you mean, I don't think the men get it some times on what we actually have to go through. I hope everything goes well for you :-)

So DH finally went to pick up his test results (with no prompting from me) and they came back all clear. The relief in him is amazing. its just what i think he needed. so ive just got to get myself booked in now and then we will go from there. Let me know how you get on. Good luck!
