I always had a feeling getting pregnant might not just happen at the drop of a hat for me for some reason, but I’m starting to get worried. I’ve been having blood tests and seeing the GP since late last year as my periods have got really erratic, and I finally got my referral appointment to go and see the gynaecologist today. I guess I had hoped that she would say ‘yep, everything looks ok so we’re not sure why you aren’t getting pregnant’ and start me on Clomid (a drug that helps your body stimulate your ovaries to produce egg follicles that will be released during ovulation and is often prescribed before a referral to a more specialised fertility expert) or something like that as that’s what friends had told me happens (although we haven’t told anyone we’re trying). So, it was a bit of a shock when she took a look at my blood test results and said that they can’t have been taken at the right time in my cycle as the numbers weren’t right. I needed to go home and wait for my next period and then get the tests done again!! I’ve been waiting for this appointment since November and now still no further along. I came out, called my partner, Mr M, and then just sat in the car and cried. You try to just carry on when you’re trying for a baby but it is always there in the back of your mind, especially when you’re not sure if there’s something wrong. And today it hit me. More waiting. I just want some answers.
