Trying to conceive for 1 year

[Xococo]

Hi everyone im female and 22 years old my husband is 23 years old and male weve been trying to conceive for nearly a year at the end of october im starting to worry and putting off going to the doctor as i keep telling my self it will happen naturally , ANY ADVICE WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED

I know it is scary but i would go. We had tests in May and have been told our first ivf cycle will be in three months time from now. It takes nearly a year for tests and everything to get sorted. Also if there are no issues it will put your mind at rest. Sending love and luck xx

Hi Xococo. It's so frustrating when you think everything will happen straight away. You could see your GP and see whether he/she will do some hormone blood tests on you. You may find though that you will have to wait for a referral on the NHS until you are about 25. Start with your GP and good luck! Diane

Hi ya. I found the process through nhs very lengthy. It’s took us 2.5 years to get 1 round of ivf. I would go soon as a year is more than long enough.

I’d echo that...it can take a long time to get to the front of an NHS queue, so best to get to the GP now x

Hey we had some tests done with the gp and were referred in the space of 3 months (until our first appointment), we were given the option of iui or icsi and started on my cycle after xx
