Trying to Get Pregnant

weird appointment..

So my doc said a while ago that if DH and I were trying for 6 mos and we weren't KU to call.  So we hit the 6mo. and I called, even though I thought it was kind of early. She wants me to come in tomorrow for an appointment. I fully expect that it's going to be a waste of time (and money)- what can she tell me after 6 mos only? Start charting? check! I'll keep you up to date, but I doubt it will be that exciting.

 My question to all of you is this - has your doc asked you to come in after only 6 mos or so of TTC? If so, what should I expect? TIA!

    maybe your doc will order an SA.   That's usually the first and easiest thing to rule out (or in)

  • My doc asked me to come in after 6 months and he did bloodwork on me and an SA for DH.  It was a good thing becuase it turned out I have an underactive thyroid and DH has low motility.  We've now moved on to an urologist at a fertility clinic.  At least we knew after 6 months that something wrong rather than waiting a full year.

  • I agree with pp. It seems like most 6 mo+ TTC'rs say that a sperm analysis is the first step. At my last annual in September (our first month TTC), my OB told me to "have sex between CD 12-14." I suspect she isn't a believer of charting. Smile It is possible your OB will ask about your charting, but keep in mind that he/she may not.

    GL!

  • My doctor wanted me to come in at 6 months too--they did some blood tests for me and a SA for DH. Turns out I have slighly low progesterone so my doc wanted me to try Clomid, but they found a cyst on my ovary last month so I'm on BCP to try to shrink that. 

    A lot of doctors make you wait until a year has gone by, but I'm really happy that my doc at least let us get some of the easier tests out of the way early so we found out what the issue was (I'm pretty sure I would have felt that way even if I hadn't had any issues--that way I would have known that we just needed a bit more time for the odds to work out in our favor!). GL to you!
