TTC 30 and older

I'm 30 TTC and I'm having trouble. I've been trying 8 months but have been having unprotected for 2 years and still no BFP. Any ladies trying and having trouble or got a BFP in your 30s and what did u do different.

Your OBGYN should be able to send you for preliminary test such as:
HSG: this is an x-ray of your uterus and fallopian tubes to check to see if your Fallopian tubes are patent/open

Semen analysis: this test is for your spouse to assess his fertility. It looks at the size, shape and motility of his sperm

FSH levels: this is a blood test looks at a women cycle and ovarian production

Ovarian function tests: These tests are looking to see how the hormones are functioning and working during your ovulation cycle.
On Day 3 the following are measured
Day 3 FSH (measuring follicle stimulating hormone)
Day 3 Estradiol (measuring estrogen)
Ultrasound (to confirm ovulation occurred)

Iron levels: The blood test will determine if you have iron deficiencies in your blood such as anemia

I hope this information is helpful to you and perhaps it can be starter discussions for you and your doctor.
