After 3 and half years of TTC and having to go through miscarraiges I went to the Drs to start trying to find out what the hell is going on....

Expecting my GP to not listen or fob me off (happens a lot when you have a connective tissue disorder - half of them dont even know how to say it never mind the name of my condition!) but I was pleasantly suprised!!! She knew about my medical condition and even said herself that it can effect pregnancy and cause miscarraiges! "Shock!!!"

She took swabs and checked my cervix (everything looked fine 🙌), ordered an ultrasound, booked in bloods to check levels at day 1-3 and after ovulation and asked my DH to ask his GP for a sperm analyisis. Once we have all results we'll be refered to a fertility specialist to see what our next move is. I'd mentioned how a lot of people with EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) also have the MTHFR gene which means you dont process folic acid properly and she agreed so has noted it down to pass on to the fertility doctor as if Ido have it I need to stay away from folic acid and use folate instead.

Feel like we maybe getting somewhere :)

Anyone else gone through this testing? what was your outcome and what was the next step? What will they look for with swabs, ultrasound etc? I have no idea what they will be looking for other than my progestrone levels with the blooda taken during/just after ovulation Thanks in advance!

FET this month.
