What tests have you taken if been trying over 6 months and not pregnant ?

Question

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 6 months now. I went to the doctor last month and had my blood drawn to check all hormone levels and had a Pap smear everything normal ! I take vitamins to help get me ready for pregnancy I eat right and exercise. I even use a PH balanced feminine soap. So what is next step ? Should I have my husband checked ?

Answer

I had a series of blood tests to check hormones levels and ovarian reserve. I also had a cervical smear. They found out I've got raised prolactin levels (Ttc 9 months now with no luck, and had pregnancy symptoms almost every month before AF) it turns out I've been concieving but it can't stick because of my hormone levels. The dr also suggested a scan to see if everything looks normal and also a sperm test for my parter, so that will be the next test. You are probably normal. Unless you have been having weird symptoms or you have irregular cycles there's nothing to worry about. Stress and diet is also a big factor in Ttc and maintaining a healthy pregnancy. It can take a normal healthy couple 6 - 12 months to concieve. The only reason I went to my dr after 6 months is because I had irregular cycles and was getting really bad pms/early pregnancy symptoms. Thankfully the dr didn't fob me off and actually helped me but I have heard that most dr's won't even talk to you until you've been Ttc for more than 12 months.

Answer

Try not to stress it took me 14 months to conceive good luck and keep your head up
